Here is everything you need to know about the matches to bet on in the midweek fixtures, including odds and betting tips.
Manchester United
After a poor start to the 2022/23 season, Manchester United has been improving under manager Erik ten Hag, who recently led the team to a late 2-1 victory in the Manchester Derby.
The win has narrowed the distance between the two rival teams to just one point. It has been quite a remarkable change, considering that United lost their first two matches against Brighton and Brentford.
With City playing on Thursday, Ten Hag has a chance to temporarily move above their archrivals into second place. Considering this and Crystal Palace’s current consistency issues under Patrick Vieira, United will be motivated to put in a solid performance when the two clash on Wednesday at Selhurst Park in the English Premier League.
Manchester City
Manchester City will be determined to get back on track following a double blow over the past week or so. The Blues were knocked out of the EFL Cup at Southampton and then fell eight points behind Arsenal in the Premier League table with a 2-1 derby defeat.
Pep Guardiola’s men are in danger of dropping as low as fourth and below Manchester United by the end of this weekend if they continue to drop points. Something City and Pep would like to avoid on Thursday when they face Tottenham Hotspur, who will also be coming off a 0-2 defeat at home to Arsenal.
Pep’s team is the best in the league when it comes to home form (W7 D1 L1), while Tottenham have struggled away from home. City will look to assert themselves early, so expect a fast start.
BETTING TIP
Bet: Both Manchester United and Manchester City to win.
Odds: 2.53
