Here’s more on each part of Mark’s bet builder tips for the Manchester Derby. He’s stayed clear of backing either side outright, but you can pick your winner and get a huge 50/1 for either side as a new customer of Parimatch. 

Both Teams To Score

Neither side looks trustworthy in the major market options, though Both Teams To Score should go close. Man Utd have scored in eight of their last nine Premier League trips to The Etihad and are a facing a Man City side here who’ve allowed the second-most Big Chances across the last eight EPL games – only Southampton have conceded more.

Erling Haaland Anytime Goalscorer

Erling Haaland has failed to score in six of his last nine Manchester City matches. However, the Norwegian hitman has a prolific record in the Manchester derby, striking six times (and assisting a further three goals) in just four appearances against United. That includes four goals in his two league meetings with the Red Devils at the Etihad.

Kevin de Bruyne Over 0.5 Shots on-Target

Kevin de Bruyne’s return has given Man City a much-needed creative outlet in midfield and the Belgian playmaker scored one of his three shots on-target in the Citizens’ last outing in front of their own supporters. The City skipper is averaging 1.22 shots on-target per-90 at home in the Premier League this term and will be a threat from distance.

Manuel Ugarte to be Carded 

Manuel Ugarte has endured a stop-start campaign since arriving from PSG, but the Man Utd midfield lynchpin has stayed true to form, handing out plenty of punishment to opposition players. The Uruguayan has averaged 2.72 fouls per-90, collecting four cards across the EPL and Europa League at an impressive rate of one every 209 minutes.
