Man City vs MU score prediction: Red Devils score 2 goals
Man City are struggling while MU are not in good form. The Manchester Derby promises to be dramatic and unpredictable.
The Manchester derby between Man City and Manchester United this weekend promises to be a tense encounter. Although both teams are not in good form, with their strength and tradition, this is still a match to look forward to. While Man City are going through a difficult period with a series of poor results, MU are not doing much better under Ruben Amorim.
Man City are in trouble
The home side are going through their worst run since 2006, winning just one of their last 10 games in all competitions. This has left them behind in the Premier League title race and in danger of being eliminated from the Champions League qualifying rounds. However, with a squad still full of stars and home at the Etihad, Man City are always a difficult team to beat.
With injuries plaguing the squad, especially the loss of Rodri, Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake until 2025, manager Pep Guardiola will have to find suitable replacements. The absence of key players in the defence means Man City may have to use inexperienced young players, creating opportunities for MU to exploit.
Manchester United are no better.
On the United side, although Ruben Amorim has brought some positive signs, the team is still in a transition period. With three wins in the last six matches, MU is currently 13th in the rankings and has a streak of two consecutive defeats in the Premier League. Amorim will have to make important decisions in this derby, especially when players like Joshua Zirkzee and Marcus Rashford are not playing well.
However, United have no serious squad issues, apart from Luke Shaw and Jonny Evans. This creates opportunities for players like Rasmus Højlund and Bruno Fernandes to shine, especially when the team faces a Man City lacking confidence.
Score prediction
With Man City having home advantage and a squad still containing big stars, it will not be easy for them to lose points against MU. However, with inconsistent form and a depleted squad, it will not be easy for Guardiola to win convincingly.
Score prediction: Man City 3-2 Manchester United
The match promises to be dramatic with goals coming from both teams, but Man City will take advantage of home field to win by a minimal margin against MU.
