Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction
The Citizens seem simply unstoppable at the moment. They have just entered the FA Cup Quarter Final (and have a favorable tie there), defeated Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu in their Round of 16 – first leg in the UCL, and defeated Aston Villa in the EFL Cup Final. And they did all this in the space of one week.
To top this all off, they could deliver a win in this fierce derby, and Pep would once again hold the respect, that he had had lost since Jurgen Klopp had started his unbelievable run.
It helps that the PL title-holders are on a three-game winning run at the Old Trafford, and since 2011, only once have they lost a league battle here. On the other hand, the Devils are yet to get back to their old level, and Ole still has a lot of job to do before they could compete for the major trophies.
As things stand, the guests Manchester City are expected to win this fiercely competitive encounter. However, the fact that it’s the Manchester Derby rules out a clear favorite. The Devils are at home, and they will be desperate to hold on to their CL ticket.
On top of that, their pride and honor is at stake, and we can count on them to fight tooth and nail for the win. Moreover, the Citizens had failed to keep clean sheets in 11 of their prior 15 away fixtures this season, and since 2001, only four times have they prevented the hosts from scoring at the Old Trafford.
As such, expect goals to come from both teams this Saturday, and make the affair supremely entertaining.
