Manchester City take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, October 2nd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
"Manchester city managed to become the champion of England several times in a row. But Guardiola still failed to achieve the goal for which he was called to Albion. The "citizens" never took "Champions League", moreover, they played in the final only once under Pep. And the epic spring departure from Real Madrid will be remembered by the Catalan and his wards for a long time. On the other hand, it was an occasion for another strengthening of the line-up in the off-season. Among the bunch of newcomers, of course, Haaland stands out, having already scored 11 goals in the Premier League. But, despite such exploits of the Norwegian rookie, the grandee has already managed to lose points several times - first with Newcastle, then with Aston Villa. For a club of this stature, Manchester City concedes quite a lot. The Stones also broke down in the last match of the England national team, which definitely does not add optimism to the Blue Moon coaching staff.

For Manchester United a pause for international matches came at the wrong time. Erik ten Hag received the first good reviews about his work after moving to England for how quickly he learns from mistakes. The debut of the Dutchman in official matches was frankly failed: 1-2 with Brighton at home, 4 unanswered goals from Brentford. But after that, they managed to draw conclusions as quickly as possible and rebuild the game literally on the go. Which manifested itself at a key moment, in the victory over the historical enemy, Liverpool. Further, the "red devils", quickly reinforced by Casemiro and Anthony, won three more times, including defeat of the current leader of the Premier League - Arsenal. With the "Gunners", who had not lost points before, on September 4th they played 3-1. But further on, the “Mancunians” had 2 rescheduled fights at once due to the death and funeral of Elizabeth II. Let's see what worked and what didn't during this time. And what kind of players will return from the national teams.
This is the "Manchester derby", which has gradually become one of the iconic ones. But recently, Manchester United rarely manages to compete with the “noisy neighbor”. They have only 1 win in 5 last fights with 3 defeats. Bookmakers believe that the “citizens” will win, and very easily. But it is worth remembering that this is a duel after the international break, so you should not expect sky-high performance. We bet on "less than 3.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
