Manchester United vs. Manchester City picks and predictions
Prediction
Manchester United 1, Manchester City 1
Moneyline (ML)
Manchester United (+310) is a tempting play for a chance to more than triple up on the 3-way line. The Red Devils have been on fire lately, and they catch the Citizens coming off a stunning 2-0 loss to Southampton.
However, the best play is a DRAW (+295). We have 2 of the top 4 teams in the EPL table squaring off, and ManU brings its best team into the derby in a couple of seasons. Man City has posted a 4-1-1 record in the past 6 visits to Old Trafford, but victory won’t be in the offing for this match.
Over/Under (O/U)
Play the UNDER 2.5 GOALS (+125) for a chance at plus money.
In each of the past 6 meetings at Old Trafford we have seen 2 or fewer goals, and, and Man City has kept a clean sheet in 5 of the past 6 away matches against ManU.
