Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction – Premier League

After 10 wins, 7 draws, and 13 losses, the home team finds itself in 13th position, having accumulated 37 points. In their last match, they suffered a defeat against Nottingham Forest (1‑0), following a victory in their previous match against Leicester City (0‑3). This team is somewhat unaffected by the home advantage, as their results are comparable at home and away. Over the last 30 matches, they have recorded 5 wins, 5 draws, and 5 losses as visitors, scoring 20 goals and conceding 19, compared to 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses at home, with 29 goals scored and 23 conceded. In their last 10 home games in the league, Manchester United achieved 4 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses, accumulating 13 points from a possible 30. Their defensive solidity has been a concern, as they have conceded goals in 8 of their last 10 matches, but their attack has been relatively consistent, scoring in 7 of their last 10 league games. At home, they tend to see goals, with 10 of their last 15 matches in the league finishing with more than 2.5 goals. Within 30 league games, they conceded the first goal 18 times and only managed to turn the score around 4 times.

Manchester United enter this fixture after an uninspired 1-0 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest. The home side employs a 3-4-3 tactical formation, featuring Rasmus Højlund, Alejandro Garnacho, and Joshua Zirkzee as their main attacking options. Bruno Fernandes orchestrates play in midfield, playing a pivotal role in linking defence and attack. Manager Rúben Amorim will be without Jonny Evans, Altay Bayindir, Ayden Heaven, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, and Lisandro Martínez, all due to injury problems.
