Meeting statistics

The current form of Manchester United F.C.

“The Red Devils” have 37 points in the 2024–25 Premier League with a record of 10-7-13. They’ll likely remain in the current 13th place till the end of the season. It will be their poorest finish since 1990 if that occurs. They run the risk of finishing far worse than that, in fact. The problem is that three clubs, each with three points less, are right behind them: Tottenham, Everton, and West Ham—all respectable teams.

Fortunately, the United won’t be relegated. They definitely escaped that outcome of the EPL season. That doesn’t exactly satisfy their die-hard fans, though. A victory over their bitter rivals would cheer them up, and that’s what the players in red jerseys should bear in mind. Regretfully, that doesn’t appear likely. After all, in the last ten Manchester Derby matches, that has only occurred three times.

The current form of Manchester City F.C.

At the moment, “The Citizens” are ranked fourth in the Premier League. Their overall record is 15-6-9, or 51 points. The race for the title is all but finished for them because they are 22 points behind the top team in the table, Liverpool. But Pep Guardiola’s players still have a chance to place second. With eight more Premier League rounds remaining, they simply need to keep winning, even if they are presently 10 points behind Arsenal, who are in second place.

With a 2–1–1 record in the last four EPL rounds, Manchester City are in comparatively decent shape. They defeated Leicester City 2-0 in their most recent match, with both goals coming in the first half. Then, with only one shot on goal, they staged a snooze-fest in the second half.

Head-to-head

There were 195 matches in all competitions for the Manchester Derby; United won 80, City won 61, and the remaining 54 were drawn.

Match analytics

To maintain their position at the top of the Premier League, Manchester City must win this match. As for Manchester United, if they win on Sunday, they won’t accomplish anything. However, Man City outperform their arch-rivals in terms of player quality, which is another factor besides drive, so putting a couple of goals, at least, in United’s net is what we expect from them.

Tip: Manchester City goal range: 2-3 goals, with odds of 2.14 on Bettilt.
