Analysis and forecast for the match of matchday 27 of the English Championship “Manchester City” – “Manchester United” (03/03/2024)
Gone were the first matches of the round of 16 of the FA Cup, as well as 26 rounds of the English Premier League. Two matches on matchday 27 of the Championship are scheduled for March 3. The last of them will feature a derby between Manchester City and Manchester United at the Etihad Stadium. The starting whistle will sound at 18:30 Moscow time.
Manchester City reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, having confidently defeated Luton (6:2) in the previous phase. The main protagonist of the meeting was Erling Haaland. After completing the pentabaza, he repeated the unique record for the oldest tournament in the world, established in 1970 by the legendary George Best.
The red and whites will leave empty-handed:
“Zenit” – “Spartak”. The champion will take its toll
It should be noted that Haaland scored four of his five goals from passes from Kevin De Bruyne. Recently a Norwegian and a Belgian were in the infirmary. Furthermore, the latter missed half of the season due to a serious injury. Curiously, they returned to the lineup in good shape and began to make a difference with ease.
Haaland, however, experienced a decline for some time. After returning to the lineup, there was a period where his execution often disappointed him. However, despite this, Manchester City continued to steadily gain points and chase Liverpool, who lead the Premier League standings.
In the English Championship, the “citizens” have gone 11 games in a row undefeated. There are only two draws: with Crystal Palace (2-2) and Chelsea (1-1). Furthermore, Manchester City are doing well in other competitions. They won the club World Cup and also confidently defeated Copenhagen in the first match of the Champions League round of 16 (3:1).
In the match against Copenhagen, Pep Guardiola’s team achieved a surprising achievement. He became the first team in history to score three or more goals in seven consecutive Champions League games. In total, in 41 matches in all official tournaments, the “citizens” scored 101 goals and only lost 39.
Belarusian coaches will show boring football:
“Akhmat” – “Ural”. Viktor Goncharenko will rely on defense
Things are not going so well for Manchester United. He had an extremely poor performance in the Champions League. The Red Devils took last place in the group stage standings and also set a record for English teams in the number of goals conceded – 15.
Erik ten Hag’s team reached the quarterfinals of the FA Cup, beating Nottingham Forest (1-0) not without difficulties. In a press conference, the Dutch coach stated that the team has gained stability. He highlighted that his players only lost once in 2024.
In the latter part of the season, the Mancunians really improved. They even achieved a streak of four consecutive wins in the Premier League. However, the main protagonist who marked the result was Rasmus Hoylund, who ended up in the hospital. He scored in each of those four games.
If it weren’t for Hoylund, ten Hag wouldn’t be in the running for Premier League Manager of the Month. If last season the Dutch coach’s ideas were well received by the team and gave excellent results, this season the entire game of the “Red Devils” is based on the individual skill and character of some players.
The RPL leader will maintain his position:
“Krasnodar” – “Rubin”. Zenit will not wait to make a mistake
You can bet that IT1B will play 2.5 goals at bookmakers with odds of 1.88. This bet is also supported by the fact that Haaland is in a special mood for the matches with the Red Devils. The meetings are essential for him due to an unpleasant incident that arose between his father and the legendary former Manchester United footballer Roy Keane.
In three of the last five direct confrontations, the citizens defeated the Red Devils. Haaland appeared in four of those five games, scoring five goals and providing three assists. In total, this season he played 30 games in all competitions, in which he scored 27 goals and seven assists.
The Red Devils face a tough test. Despite André Onan’s efforts, in 37 games in all tournaments they conceded 56 goals. There is every reason to believe that Haaland will refute Ten Hag’s words about stability and make the Mancunians’ performance even worse.
Prediction and bets for the match of the 27th round of the Premier League “Man City” – “Manchester United” on March 3, 2024
Manchester City beats everyone indiscriminately. It demonstrates very high quality football, plus the leaders are in excellent shape. The large number of goals scored and City’s unbeaten streak speak for themselves. At home they have every chance of defeating Manchester United. The Red Devils concede a lot and often play poorly.
Tender: Manchester City’s individual total exceeds 2.5 goals by 1.88.
