This is going to be an interesting match because it's a derby. I've been a fan of derby matches this season more than other matches, especially Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid. I hope Manchester City vs. Manchester United will be interesting as well because the stronger team will win. In other words, Manchester City's performance is far superior to Manchester United's, and they even defeated United in their most recent match. I still think Manchester City will win their upcoming match.
I don't think Manchester United will win any trophies this season, and I don't even think they will advance far in the FA Cup. I thought they would lose their match against Nottingham Forest yesterday, but they came back with a goal. However, it is well known that Manchester United will lose their next FA Cup match against Manchester City, so even if they are defeated, I won't be shocked.
We all know that in the Manchester derby, City is far superior to United. just imagine, so far the two teams have shown different performances. moreover, now Pep Guardiola's squad is supported again by their two core players, namely, De Buyne and Haaland. plus, the match was held at the Etihad in front of TheCitizen fans. apart from that, Pep Guardiola doesn't seem to have any problems with injured players, with the exception of Gvardiol. so, it is very natural that many predict that City will beat United in the Manchester derby match.
In contrast to Erik Ten Hag's team squad, in the Manchester derby match, Ten Hag will not be able to field his full starting eleven in that match. the reason is, several players have suffered injuries, such as Luke Shaw, Lisondro Martinez, Rasmus Hojlund, and several other players, including Varane, whose status is doubtful whether they will appear or not. however, United still has other players, especially in the front line. so, Ten Hag's problem is with his defensive line players. we will see what Ten Hag plans to do when he visits Manchester City. that is certain, even though the home team is far superior. I'm absolutely sure that if Ten Hag doesn't plan, his team will be easily overthrown by City. Likewise with Pep Guardiola, he knows that United has an advantage when his team counterattacks quickly and purposefully. so, City will not underestimate United even though on paper City are far superior.
Referring to the betting exchange, City with odds @1.28, while United with @9.40. as I said in the previous post, if you refer to what is provided by the City bookies, it is far superior. however, remember, we will know the results after this match ends. regarding United's matches in other competitions, especially the match against Manchester City. We'll see, before that match, the two teams will play match after match first, especially in the Premier League.
