Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Carabao Cup
by Daniel Ngulu | in Carabao Cup Predictions
Manchester United and Manchester City are set to meet for the second time this season, this time in the League Cup semi final at Old Trafford on Wednesday. Of the two semi finals, most of the attention will be on this game, with the other featuring Tottenham Hotspur against Brentford. Both Manchester United and Manchester City head to this game on the back of fine runs. United are unbeaten in their last seven matches and go to this game on the back of four wins in the last five matches and their last four matches have had very dramatic endings. They beat Aston Villa 2-1 in their last game but had to withstand moments of pressure towards the end before bagging three points. The two goals scored meant they have now scored twice or more in five of their last six matches but they have just two clean sheets in the six matches. Bruno Fernandes has continued inspiring the team and after his goal against Villa, he has four in the last five matches. More focus on better defending will do them a lot of good, the team having conceded two or more goals in five of their last 10 games. This will be the third of their four straight home matches lined up and with a four-match unbeaten run, which has three straight clean sheets, they will be very confident. United have failed to score in only one of the last seven home matches and have three clean sheets in eight matches at home. In the League Cup, they have four straight clean sheets and will be keen to avoid getting eliminated at this same stage by City as last season. In their last 10 League Cup matches, seven have produced over 2.5 goals. Heading here, United have three straight clean sheets against Manchester City and have won three of their last five duels.
Manchester City have also been in fine form lately; they haven’t lost since the 2-0 reverse at Tottenham in November 2020. So far, it is 11 matches unbeaten for City and just one loss in the last 21 games. They head to this game on the back of four straight wins, the most recent being the 3-1 victory over Chelsea. City have scored nine goals in their last three matches, and in six of their last 10 games they have scored two or more goals. They have seven clean sheets in their last 10 matches and have conceded twice in just one of the last 21 matches while they’ve failed to score in only three of their last 15 matches. Away from home, City are unbeaten in the last six, winning four and keeping clean sheets in four matches, and three straight away wins should push them well going to this clash. In the League Cup, the two losses City have suffered in 25 matches, have come against Manchester United. However, the holders head here with six straight away wins in the competition and having scored twice in each of them. Eight of their last 10 League Cup matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
