Who are currently the best team in Manchester? City v United

This year, so far both teams have had quite a sporadic start to their season as Manchester United had what was one of the worst starts to the league ever, struggling to even score in their first four games, whereas Man City seem to be shrouded in unpredictability as they keep coming from behind to win games. As such, this means that when heading into the Manchester derby and talking about Manchester in general, who is the best team is certainly up for debate.
If you want to have a better idea as to who is likely going to win the Manchester derby, then you should have a look at the different odds available on betting sites. It doesn’t matter where you are for this as sports betting in the US on soccer is becoming more popular thanks to the rise of MLS, so even if you’re overseas from where the game is happening you’ll be able to place bets and consider the different odds. Some stats to consider include the following:
Even though Manchester United has been winning games recently, people are under no illusion that the team has been playing well. They might have some firepower when it comes to launching their attacks but what they offer up front they lack in defense. There is no getting away from the fact the team has been a bit of shambles at the back this season as poor performances from the likes of Maguire, as well as injuries suffered by Varane has made their defensive talent seem a bit bleak. Their poor defensive performance is clear in the above stat as they have been almost completely unable to maintain a clean sheet in their last 15 games.
Even though Manchester City have been coming from behind in a lot of their games recently, there is no denying the team have shown time and time again that they know how to score goals. This is going to prove to be a bit of an issue when Manchester United come up against them, given United are having issues at the back recently. Only time will tell whether they can hold their nerve against local rivals.
The Manchester derby has always been an iconic game and the unpredictability that has come so far with this season means we are in for a great game when they face each other next. It seems Manchester City are favorites at the moment but in big games like this, there is no telling what might happen.
