Manchester United v Manchester City Betting Tips [6 April 2025]

Manchester City and Manchester United will be facing off this Sunday as the Premier League enters round 31. Hosts United enter the game placed 13th and City fifth. Below is our prediction for the match.

Manchester United’s poor season continued after returning from the international break. They lost 1-0 at top-four contenders Nottingham Forest with their former youth player Anthony Elanga scoring the decisive goal.

The Red Devils get to face another top four contender, but this time their bitter rivals. United would want to repeat the heroics of their win at City in December but they are seriously struggling.

They actually lost five of the last eight league matches at home.

Manchester City are having a poor season by their standards. At this point of the season, they would be tying up the league title. However, as things stand, they are not even assured of a place in the top four.

The champions have fallen off the title race and are only battling for a place in the Champions League via league position. They are only a point adrift of the top four though. That means this is a key game for the visitors, who lost 2-1 in the reverse fixture.

Pep Guardiola’s side is coming from a 2-0 win over struggling Leicester City. They will hope to bag back-to-back league wins for the first time since January.

Our prediction for Manchester United v Manchester City is that Manchester City wins the match. Manchester United won the last two matches against City and should be confident of extending the same on Sunday at home. However, their season has been so erratic you never know which United side will show up.

Old Trafford used to be a fortress but not anymore. The Red Devils have lost five of their last eight league matches there. With five wins in their last nine league matches, Manchester City will be favorites to win here. They have beaten United in four of their last six league meetings.
