Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s team have lost points twice, but draw remains the worst result. It happened with Newcastle (3-3) and Aston Villa (1-1). Between the named rivals, there were victories at Crystal Palace (4-2), Nottingham Forest (6-0) and Wolves (0-3). The new version of Manchester City has Holland. The Norwegian completely transformed the game in the end, which unleashed the hands of the midfielders. All of the above made it possible not only to score 23 goals, but also to score 17 points and gain a foothold in the 2nd position.
Manchester United
Eric ten Hag before the international break managed to transform the game of his team, which was marked by 4 victories in a row. This brought 12 points, which overshadowed the failures that came at the beginning of the journey. The head coach had the courage to put Cristiano Ronaldo on the bench. The next tactically correct move is getting rid of Harry Maguire. These changes have drastically affected the indicators mentioned earlier. I won’t be surprised if in 2022-2023 the Dutch specialist will continue to adhere to such priorities.
Head-to-head statistics
Manchester United in March 2022 was considered a completely different opponent, and their fiasco (4-1) did not surprise experts. An identical picture is observed at Old Trafford, although the score would be more modest – (0-2).
Prediction and betting for Manchester City – Manchester United: total under 3.5
The Red Devils are approaching the next challenge in high spirits. They are full of confidence, but it will be problematic to achieve a positive result. I expect that they will prefer a defensive model that will help to hold on to the points. A similar move is also indicated by the personals, in which the total total of 3.5 was broken only once, out of the last five games.
