Manchester City will be a popular football betting accumulator selection when it comes to the Manchester derby against United. They made short work of Luton Town in the FA Cup on Tuesday night, scoring six goals and five of them came courtesy of Erling Haaland. The Norwegian will be fired up for a derby encounter and he was successful last season.
Haaland scored a hat-trick as part of a 6-3 win over the Red Devils in this fixture last term, with City overwhelming favourites to land a victory against opposition who were beaten at home to Fulham last weekend. It looks a difficult match for Erik ten Hag’s side who actually have landed seven wins from thirteen away encounters.
Indeed, United have identical stats for their home and away games in the Premier League, although they have been dealt a setback thanks to an injury to Rasmus Hojlund, with Marcus Rashford having a tougher time when it comes to finding the net. It will be interesting to see what game plan is deployed by the visitors here.
It’s not always beneficial to try and park the bus against a team who appear to be finding their stride at the right time of the season. Perhaps there will be cautious tactics deployed by Ten Hag who will want to avoid conceding a hatful of goals. However, we think that Manchester City to win and BTTS No can be backed with a degree of confidence.
