I'm not sure if this is an important match or not what is clear is don't be too confident on one side. Indeed, Manchester City deserves to be the favorite to win because they have a better history and statistics it's just that sometimes the unexpected can happen for example they play young or new players well this can mess up our predictions so it's better to wait a few hours before the match starts to see the starting lineup. By the way so far the sportsbooks Stake.com prefer Manchester City and both teams to score YES and over goals are still the favorites to place bets, I don't think both teams think about playing defensively meaning the fight will go on until the last minute and let's wait for the next 4 days.
City won't play purely defensively but it could happen that they control the ball all game (without trying to take risks, playing "for sure"), then United will have big problems to score a goal. So I'm not at all confident in BTTS. I'll probably just place a simple bet on City, as it will be a normal game (and not a game where City players have not had time to sober up from drinking in honor of the title) as I expect them to justify their status as favorites.
United had a few new players. They have not yet integrated with their system. I take double chance as my safe zone to bet. Also, winning or losing doesn't matter in this game. I see it as a glorified friendly match between Manchester United and Manchester City.
If we think Manchester City will win, but Man Utd in the FA Cup was able to beat Pep Guardiola's troops, while an unimportant match like this, Manchester City usually won't take it seriously and just play simply without pursuing victory.
However, if we think so, it is impossible for Manchester City to give up in this Community Shield match because Pep Guardiola's reputation will certainly still be prioritized before the match starts.
From my betting choices, there are 2 choices, such as if you want to get certainty, maybe choose City to score more than 1.5 with odds @1.58.
However, if you want to get big profits from our prediction speculation, choosing Man Utd to score more than 1.5 with odds @2.95 is very profitable.
