Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this game is the existence of few goals. This match has all the conditions to be very balanced and with little chance of goals, since the teams present offensive sectors that are not very effective when acting in these conditions. Thus, and because of their playing style, Manchester City should dominate ball possession and attack in a more leisurely way, while Manchester United should risk on the counterattack. Having said that, betting in favor of the "Over 3 Goals" market in this match is the best option.
