Man Utd - Man City: Fire in Manchester!
(Baonghean.vn) - The goal of both teams is to win all 3 points in this match, otherwise they will be left behind in their own race.
It has been a long time since a derby has had such significance. In addition to the element of honor, both Man Utd and Man City have goals to conquer in the final stage of the Premier League this season. Defeat in the Manchester derby will make the "blue half" or the "red half", most likely to pay a very high price.
Currently, the Old Trafford team is temporarily ranked 6th on the rankings. With 64 points in hand, Man Utd is one win behind the last place in the TOP 4, Chelsea (Chelsea played 1 more match). To win a ticket to the Champions League next season, the immediate task of coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his team is to defeat Man City.

Meanwhile, The Citizens (Man City's nickname) are competing fiercely with Liverpool in the championship race. Currently, the team led by coach Pep Guardiola is in 2nd place, 2 points behind Liverpool but has played 1 less match. Just need to win all the remaining matches, Man City will win the championship regardless of the results of Liverpool's matches.
That said, this Manchester derby will be extremely fierce. Whoever loses will risk facing a failed season. Even a draw would be enough to put both Man Utd and Man City at a disadvantage in the race for the Top 4 and the championship. The mission is to win for both Man City and Man City.
In all aspects, Man City is slightly better than the "Red Devils". From the quality of the squad to the form, Pogba and his teammates cannot compare with their colleagues on the other side of the battle line. Before entering the Manchester derby, coach Pep Guardiola and his team had won 9/10 recent matches in all arenas. On the contrary, in the last 10 matches in all arenas, Man Utd only won 4 and lost 6.

However, in terms of head-to-head record, the "red half" is not inferior to the "blue half". According to statistics, in the last 5 matches between the two teams, the results are balanced with each team winning 2 matches and drawing 1 match. Besides, in the Manchester derby, taking place at 2:00 a.m. on April 25 (Vietnam time), coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his team will play at Old Trafford. This is a great advantage for Man Utd.
In short, both teams are thirsty for 3 points, but there are only 2 cases: 1 team enjoys joy or both teams have to accept disappointment (draw). Let's wait and see what the result of the Manchester derby will be? In the writer's personal prediction, Man City will be the winning team./.
