Premier League Prediction Thread 2023/2024

[rendravolt]

All eyes are currently on the Manchester derby match between Man United vs Man City. The match took place at Old Trafford, which is the home of the red devils, it seems this will prove again who the real rulers of the city are. It is likely that Marcus Rasford, Antony and Martial will become the backbone for the red devils, while Man City will continue to use their three killers Erling Halaand, De Bruyne and Julian Alvarez as the spearhead of the attack. I'm not sure for sure if Weghourst will be fielded in this match, for sure he still needs adaptation with the Red Devils players. Can't wait to see this game and it's starting in 1 hour.

The line-up was out, Antony isn't in the line-up (on the bench) and Weghorst wasn't even on the bench, while on the Manchester City side, we didn't find Julian Alvarez to start. I can't wait to see how this match will go, I predict that the goals scored in this match will be few and very suitable for betting on under.

What are your predictions for this match? Can Manchester United take 3 points from a superior team like Manchester City at the moment? Hmm..., I don't think so, maybe the result will be Manchester United 0 - 2 Manchester City or Manchester United 0 - 1 Manchester City.

I just looked at the starting line-up and it's true that Antony and Julian Alvarez were on the bench. For predictions, I actually hope that Manchester United can get 3 points today, but their opponent, Manchester City, which we know, is still consistently struggling to keep the EPL champion this season. Well, maybe I have another prediction and hope the score will end with 1-2 for Manchester City's victory.

Both teams are starting with their best lineup in as much as Haaland and Folden will be a threat to the home team, Rashford and Martial will be at their best performance to see that City get the full load of their attacking skills. Guardiola is as pressurized as Ten Hag the both team know they are in for a serious derby.

I  am seeing Luke Shaw instead of Lisandro Martinez and I wonder if this is the first tactical mistake that Erik Ten Hag is making. Will Luke Shaw be able to compliment Raphael Varane to really hold Erling Haaland? That is a question to answer after the first half. I also notice that Riyad Mahrez is starting today and it is expected after influencing the win to beat Chelsea twice in last couple  of days. Phil Foden also starts, that shows that the coach needs speed in the attack, the kind of speed Manchester United have in their attack as well.

[sokani]

The first derby was in Etihad Stadium and yet Manchester United saw three goals even though they later lost to City who scored six goals. This second derby will be at Old Trafford and United has seen so much improvement in their last four games even though the teams they were able to win are the weakest in the league, it can be used to their advantage.

I'm not banking on Martial and I'm glad united were able to sign another striker to compete with him. He's been inconsistent and injury-prone. Man united has had a good run of form and I really want to see man united win today.

Well, maybe I have another prediction and hope the score will end with 1-2 for Manchester City's victory.

LOL, you are so inconsistent in what you stand for, mate. Whatever the result (i mean the number of goals), I'm 100% sure that Manchester City will get the 3 points at Old Trafford, remember that they are also under pressure from Arsenal who are showing their consistency in the EPL table. Let's discuss again after the first half is over.

Man United really carried out strict control and were able to balance Man City game. In fact, so far it has been positive that all lines of Erik Ten Hag troops have played loose and controlled the game. If they continue to be consistent I'm pretty sure they can score goals in the first half. The central midfielder is able to open space for attack from the left and right side and looks active.

Man City is still under pressure and has not been able to pose a threat to Manchester United's defense. Haaland also didn't move freely because he was heavily guarded.

This is going to end in a draw. Manchester United will be more defensive in their approach while City will be aggressive and push forward for a goal. This game will be like a litmus test for ETG. I hope Man U wins because I wish to see them in top 4 and have a fighting chance for the title. I hope they do not lose and want to see what is possible with this team.

[un_rank]

A quarter of the first half played at the Old Trafford and the Manchester derby has not disappointed up till this point, despite no goals yet.

Manchester united are looking very sharp, playing he high press and controlling the possession well when they do get it. City are continuing more of the same from their lackluster performance in the Carabao cup where they crashed out at the hands of the saints.

All the bookies favor City, but with their performances from the last couple of weeks and the few minutes in the game, I expect United to get something from this match. Fred and Malacia has been excellent for United so far, can they maintain this intensity for the full 90? We will see...

Attackers on the left and right need Antony and Garnacho to apply more aggressive pressure. Because you can see that Man United's attack power is quite lacking on the side. Most make breakthroughs into midfield which is often broken. If Antony and Garnacho were included it might be more effective. In this half-half, Man City started to heat up and build attacks, so it would be very exciting if the result was a draw.

many people favor Manchester City in this match. despite the fact that in the previous match Manchester City did not play well in the EFL cup, namely Man City lost to Southampton. and I think the first half will only end 0-0. but now Manchester city is starting to show their performance is getting better in this match. so if this continues. then it is not impossible that in the end Man City will win this match.

The match has just started. Manchester City played more ambitiously by controlling the match until the 40th minute
Until 5 minutes before the end of the first round match the two teams still could not change the score
I feel the second half will be much more difficult for Manchester United, they need to find a way to get out of the pressure because in the second half Manchester City will play more aggressively.

[rendravolt]

The first half of the game is over and the score is still 0-0 for Manchester United and Manchester City. The two teams carried out repeated attacks, but what surprised me were the many opportunities from the red devils who always failed in front of the opponent's goal. The lack of good finishing made it difficult for the red devils to score goals.

[GiftedMAN]

Marcus Rashford is currently down I hope the injury doesn't stop him from continuing this game because right now he is in a very good form and he can score from any angle going with his record since returning from the world cup.It's few minutes before the halftime whistle will be blown and yet no goal has been scored before the two teams but Manchester United is looking better because they have had two goal attempts while City is yet to make an attempt but they have enjoyed more ball possession than Manchester United.

Can Manchester United take all the three points in this match?

The game looked to control the Manchester United players quite well some tense attacks from Rashford but that failed and in the first half the result was still 0-0.
The midfield side is pretty good I like this kind of play and being told Manchester United have been more impressive pretty sure it will be tough in the second half as well.

I saw just now that Rashford is in pain, is this going to be injured? I'm worried about that because he was on fire and kept scoring goals before.

Half time: Manchester United 0 - 0 Manchester City

Two good chances during the 35 minutes of the first half through Marcus Rashford failed to become goals. Manchester City also didn't look very promising until 45 minutes. Erling Haaland had to come down to the centre of the pitch to pick up the ball. This means that Manchester United's midfield was very active throughout the first half.

The second half later, it looks like there will be a change in strategy for both teams. The Manchester United camp seems that Antony will be played by Erik ten Hag. If Rashford can continue the match until the end, then Martial will be the player who will be replaced by Antony considering that the first half has not seen Martial's role as an attacker.

[Rruchi man]

The first half of the game is over and the score is still 0-0 for Manchester United and Manchester City. The two teams carried out repeated attacks, but

Manchester United has had more opportunities to score, Manchester city has just been lucky. Rashford posed more of a problem and Manchester United supporters will be hoping that the slight discomfort he showed around his hip  is not something serious that stops him from continuing in the game.

Manchester United did not Manchester city and chances on the ball and they cut of their supply. Fred is man making De Bruyne, and he has done a good job following him around from one side of the field to another. Halaand and Foden has had very few touches and Mahrez has not been able to play pass Malacia.

Surely Pep will make some changes, but I hope the game ends goalless or in a draw.

The lack of good finishing made it difficult for the red devils to score goals.

Manchester United appears to have had numerous scoring chances in the first half of the game, but they were unable to convert those chances into goals. This is most likely due to the team's inability to finish well. This can be a frustrating situation for both players and fans because it may appear that the team is performing well but not receiving the results that they deserve. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United can improve their finishing in the second half and score goal!!!

Can Manchester United take all the three points in this match?

It is difficult to say at the moment that one of these teams is better, because the score remains a draw. Yes, MU attacks more, but these attempts come to nothing. To be honest, I expected more from the first half of the match and hoped to see showy football. But unfortunately, both teams are quite strong and cautious, because very serious stakes are at stake. Both teams somehow block the opponent's attacks and the game seems to get stuck. So far, it is absolutely impossible to call the match spectacular. Perhaps in the second half there will be dynamics and drive.

Many people saw the first match and what is your opinion about how this clash between the two Manchesters will end?

I thought Man United played pretty well in the first half. Even though they lost in ball possession but Man United had some good chances which should have been scored and the counterattack that they did also troubled Man City. I guess the tension will increase in the second half because Man City will definitely put more pressure on Man United, but if they let their guard down, I think Man United has a chance to steal a goal.

Neither team managed to get the ball into the back of the net after long periods of time.  Both the teams here are very strong and consist of strikers and stars from different countries.  The fear of football lovers is widespread that any team of Manchester City or Manchester United can score at any time.  Both teams were trying hard to attack and a ball was saved too hard by the goalkeeper which disallowed the goal.  But we have to wait till the last time.

Rashford is clearly needed in the second half because he is still very effective when he becomes the spearhead of the team. I don't expect him to get injured, because it will have a bad impact on Manchester United's attack. Instead of Rashford, maybe the option will be replaced with Antony, even though the one who deserves to be replaced is Martial. He's less likely to put a dangerous emphasis on it.

The second half will make Pep Guardiola emphasize more on all-out attack because he doesn't want this result to be a draw.
