Manchester Utd vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (10 August)

This has to be one of the most one-sided rivalries in the FA Community Shield, with Manchester City enjoying four consecutive victories over Manchester Utd as part of a 17-match unbeaten run against their near-neighbours in the top-flight. Their coach charges hardly come into this contest in the greatest of shape either, having lost seven times in eight league games.

Since drawing nil in this very fixture all the way back this year, Manchester City have embarked upon a 29-match run of avoiding goalless draws in the FA Community Shield away games. As for Manchester Utd, just one of their last 19 home fixtures at this level has ended without a goal being scored, so at least one of the two keepers should be picking the ball out of the net.

The net has bulged at both ends in each of the previous seven Manchester Utd matches at the top table of the FA Community Shield, so Manchester Utd certainly cannot be accused of playing boring stuff. Given that this has also been the case in ten of the most recent 14 FA Community Shield games involving Manchester City, more of the same is expected in this clash.
