Betting Tips for the Manchester Derby 2023

It is time for another free weekly betting prediction! It might not be surprising that we are going to analyze the Manchester Derby that will take place on the 29th of October. Manchester City will visit Old Trafford and it will surely be an amazing game. We have researched and analyzed all the information we could our hands on and came up with the following betting tips for the Manchester derby.

Manchester City to Win the Manchester Derby

We think this will be a clear win for Manchester City even if the match is played at Old Trafford. Both teams have 3 wins in their 5 previous matches so they have a very similar form. However, Manchester City has won 7 games this season while Manchester United has won only 5. City also has a goal difference of 12 whereas United´s is -2.

Our betting prediction that Manchester City will win doesn´t have that great odds though. The odds at Bet9ja are 1.70 while Manchester United has 4.90. For the brave players, there might be an opportunity to bet on United to win for the higher odds. However, we do believe this is quite risky.

Betting on the Correct Score

If you believe that Manchester City will win but think the odds are too low we recommend having a look at betting on the correct score. There are usually a few goals in these games and the last time a Manchester Derby was goalless was in 2020. It definitely happens but most of the time at least two goals are scored.

We don´t think it will be a game full of goals but with a little luck, Manchester City can even win with two goals. 

This is what we think:

• 2-0 and 3-1 are totally feasible options. 2-0 gives 9.20 in odds at Bet9ja while 3-1 gives 12.75. 
• 2-1 gives 8.30 and we do believe this is the most likely result of this Premier League match.
• Manchester United to win with one goal gives about 15 in odds if you play 1-0 or 2-1 to them. If we backtrack the games for about a decade, Manchester United has definitely put up a good fight and even won the derby many times.

There are plenty of decent options but none of them would be a sure betting prediction. However, for our Nigerian readers, we do recommend betting on the correct score and Manchester City to win by 2-1. The best odds of any Nigerian betting site we found for this would be Bet9ja at 8.30.
