Match prediction
The bookmakers probably impressed with improbable victories of Man City have put on a victory of the Citizens low coefficient.
However the advantage of the team of Guardiola over Man United isn’t so high as it seems to be.
MU is able to play with the main rivals and the MC is an additional irritant for Mourinho’s team.
Besides, Man City hasn’t managed for ten last matches to win over MU with a difference more than in one goal.
