Manchester Derby Goalscorer Predictions and Betting Odds

Man City are the clear favourites of the Manchester Derby this weekend. The odds are

• 7/20 on Man City
• 17/4 on a draw
• 7/1 on Man United

at Unibet Sportsbook. The biggest problem for Manchester United this season is their awful defending. However, while Lindelof and Smalling are probably having nightmares of Aguero and Sterling, United forwards seem to get better week by week.

Aguero is the favourite to score on Sunday

Sergio Aguero is the most likely player to score on Sunday. His 7/10 odds are not surprising at all as he’s netted 7 times in his 11 league games. The defensive section of Man United is rather sloppy nowadays, they have conceded 18 goals in 11 matches only. Therefore, we believe that Aguero will definitely have his chances, and it’s only up to him whether he can finish them.

Sterling is getting more reliable when it comes to scoring

Sterling is also a very likely Man City goal scorer, his odds are 13/10 at Unibet Sportsbook. The English youngster is getting better each year, and it seems like he’s became more reliable when it comes to finishing. Sterling has also developed a lot under Guardiola in positioning. Meanwhile, he gives the impression of a more intelligent player than last year. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him score this time, after losing his battles against De Gea when they last met at Etihad.

Martial is the most dangerous Man United player at the moment

The odds are 3/1 on Anthony Martial to score against Man City. Arguably, he is the most dangerous United player right now. The French forward has scored 5 goals in his last 4 league games, and by that he’s probably saved Jose Mourinho’s job. It’s no wonder City are going to pay extra attention to him, but we believe that even if the visitors eventually lose the match, Tony Martial scores again.

Alexis Sanchez is someone to pay attention to

Despite the odds are 4/1 on Alexis Sanchez to score at the Etihad, we argue that he’s a player to pay attention to on Sunday. He’s been clearly struggling in Manchester, but now – since Lukaku’s not expected to play – he could benefit from playing with fast forwards like Rashford, Martial and Lingard. He had a decent game in Bournemouth, he’s also scored a last minute winner against Newcastle. We think he will continue playing that way. As a result he’s a potential Man Utd goal scorer against City.

Lukaku is the favourite to score against City and it makes no sense at all

To conclude our Man City vs Man Utd top scorer predictions we must mention that online sportsbook sites in the UK believe that Lukaku is the most likely goalscorer for United. While his odds are 27/10 at Unibet Sportsbook, we strongly disagree with their opinion. The Belgian striker is tired, out of form and unconfident nowadays. It’s questionable whether he’s even going to play on Sunday, therefore, we definitely won’t bet on Lukaku to score against Man City.
