Community Shield
Manchester City will be up against Manchester United on Saturday at Wembley Stadium in a Community Shield encounter. The Manchester derby will be acting as curtain raiser with the top leagues approaching next weekend.
City and United clashes have been one of the biggest clashes but not anymore due to the decline of the Red Devils. Erik ten Hag and Pep Guardiola will be facing each other once again having met three times last season in the Premier League and also the FA Cup final.
United lost to City in both legs in the Premier League, losing 3-0 in the first leg before suffering a 3-1 defeat in the reverse fixture. The Red Devils got their revenge and it was a sweet one as they put behind their bad run of the campaign, beating City 2-1 at Wembley.
The rivalry will be renewed once again this season, in preparation for the new season, with United set to open their campaign a week later against Fulham. Meanwhile, defending Champions Manchester City will be up against Chelsea on Saturday at Stamford Bridge.
Prediction 1X2
In recent matches, United have struggled against City losing their last seven of eight matches in all competitions. On paper and experience, City are stronger than United with ten Hag’s men facing injury crisis.
City have lost their last three Community Shield matches, with defeats against Leicester, Liverpool, and Arsenal. They’ll be eager to turn things around and secure a win this weekend.
Despite their bad record, we are backing them to come on top against United.
Tip: Manchester City win ❌
Over 2.5
In the last seven encounters between Manchester United and Manchester City, each match has produced at least three goals. Based on this trend, predicting over 2.5 goals in their next game seems like a solid bet.
