Man City, who are in 13th place because they lost twice, are showing inconsistency in their play.
Current odds in the Manchester Derby:
Man City @1.72 -- @4.50 Man United, odds are subject to change over time.
But we already know who the favorites are, even though Man City lost twice. Maybe this time they won't let themselves lose at home for the second time.
If you look at the standings, Manchester United is currently better than Manchester City. Manchester United has lost, won, and drawn once, while Manchester City has lost twice and won once. However, this match is certainly very difficult to predict because Manchester United certainly has more experience than Manchester City at the start of this season. Manchester United also played well against Arsenal, despite losing, as Manchester United didn't concede many goals, which indicates that Manchester United is playing well. So, of course, in this match, Manchester United could win, or Manchester City could win. Personally, I'm sometimes confused about who will win.
However, I personally have the same feeling as you because I predict that Manchester City will try to bounce back. Of course, as the host, Manchester City could win because they will have the full support of their fans in the stadium. So, Manchester City certainly doesn't want to repeat another defeat. So, I will also try my luck betting on a Manchester City victory in this match.
