Then it would make sense to bet on +0 for City at 2.45 (2.35 now). That would be considered a value bet since the match is closer to evens. And in my opinion City has a slight edge over United at front. But United's defense is very good. I would like to see City tika taka their way thru it.
What kind of slight advantage are you talking about? I clearly dont see any advantage of city having over manchester united, it is clear that manchester united has better goalkeeper , city wont be playing wih their top goalscorer aguero and it is in old trafford, clearly advantage is with manchester united
I said, in my opinion, City has a slight advantage
at front. If you notice when City has the ball, they transition into something like a 3 2 5. That's 5 players up front passing the ball around, finding an opening. So on the pitch they would look like this when attacking:
Aguero (or Iheanacho)
Nolito --------- --------- Sterling
Silva ------------------------ De Bruyne
Clichy ---------------- Zabaleta (or Sagna)
Otamendi (or Kolarov) - Fernandinho ------- Stones
Bravo
Sometimes it's a 3 5 2 with the wingers still wide but dropping a few of paces deep. Pep also likes using inverted fullbacks if you noticed. I think this game will be decided in the midfield. So even without Aguero, City can still make it.
without aguero backup iheancho not same quality aguero, i think manchester united can wn
