Manchester City take on the visitors Manchester United in the round 27 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, February 3rd at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester City strive to maintain its consistently high level. The Citizens set themselves a new benchmark of expectations last calendar year. Of course, the long-awaited victory in the Champions League stands out. But also in the past season, there was another golden double domestically. And internationally, there was success after the summer break, both in the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. However, there were also setbacks, albeit not in the main squad, in the FA Community Shield and the EFL Cup. Currently, they've managed to continue their winning streak in the Champions League - following a solid victory in the 2023 group stage, they finished 3-1 in Copenhagen in the first leg of the round of 16. This week, the club played in the cup against Luton - and there they ran riot with a 6-2 win. As for the Premier League, they currently find themselves in a chasing position, behind Liverpool. In the last 9 rounds, they've only drawn once against their opponents, winning all the rest, including a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth last weekend.

Manchester United managed to improve last season - Ten Hag justified the gamble on himself as a savior coach. Eric took a trophy a year ago, albeit in the form of the EFL Cup. And in the spring, he accomplished the main task by elevating his new charges to the quartet of leaders, even securing third place in the final table. But after the summer break, the Mancunians suffered several painful setbacks, from finishing 4th in a relatively easy Champions League group to a crushing defeat in the EFL Cup to Newcastle. And in the Premier League, being one of the favorites, they lost almost as much as they won, which kept Man United in the middle of the table. They managed to achieve a long-awaited upturn in winter - winning four times in a row, including defeating potential competitor, Aston Villa. But in the last round, they succumbed to Fulham at Camp Nou, ending the journey 2-1 - after this, the top 4 became even further away. This week, they played against Nottingham Forest in the cup. There, only Casemiro scored the lone goal in the 89th minute.
Just over a year ago, in January 2023, the Red Devils finally managed to win against their noisy neighbors. But the other 5 recent head-to-head matches, including both the latest ones, were won by the Citizens. It's hard to believe that the Red Devils will achieve anything in the match against their neighbors. Here, we recommend betting that Guardiola's wards will win with a handicap of -1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap.
