Weekend Preview:

100/1 Bet Builder for the Manchester derby…

For this week’s deep dive into the stats, I’ve focused my research on the big Super Sunday game on Sky Sports: the Manchester derby at Old Trafford…

Man Utd v Man City

Premier League, Sunday 4.30pm - Sky Sports

Manchester derby stats:

• Both Teams to Score = 8 of last 9 meetings in all competitions
• Over 2.5 Goals = 8 of last 9 meetings
• Under 10.5 Corners = 7 of last 10 meetings
• Most Corners: Man City = 10 of last 11 meetings
• Man City -3 Corner Handicap = 9 of last 11 meetings
• Under 4.5 Cards = 12 of last 13 meetings

Recent/ team stats:

• Both Teams to Score = 8 of last 9 Man Utd home games all comps 
• Over 2.5 Goals = 7 of last 9 Man City away games all comps
• United have kept just one Clean Sheet in their last 11 games 
• City have kept just one Clean Sheet in their last 7 away games. And in just 3 of 15 overall
• Man Utd have won the Most Corners in just 2 of their last 7 games
• Under 4.5 Cards = 5 of Man Utd’s last 6 games
• Under 4.5 Cards = 8 of Man City’s last 10 away games

Player stats:

• Manuel Ugarte is Man Utd’s most-carded player in the league this season (8 yellows). He’s been booked in 6 of his last 10 United apps in all comps, and in 4 of his last 6 at Old Trafford
• Bruno Fernandes is Man Utd’s top scorer this season. He’s landed Anytime Scorer bets in 3 of his last 4 games. And has found the net in 3 of the last 7 Manchester derbies (2 penalties)
• Omar Marmoush has scored in each of his last 3 appearances for Man City. With top scorer Erling Haaland now out injured, Marmoush is expected to start on Sunday

Picking the bones out of all those stats and trends, these selections make the cut for a Super Sunday combo…

BET BUILDER:
Corners Match Bet (Most Corners): Man City
Under 4.5 Cards
Over 2.5 Goals
Anytime Scorer: Omar Marmoush
Anytime Scorer: Bruno Fernandes
Shown a Card: Manuel Ugarte

The six-legged Bet Builder pays 124/1 with Paddy Power:

And 100/1 with Unibet:

Note: most mainstream bookies offer Bet Builder coupons. Available markets may vary.

We’ll also take Marmoush as a single for Anytime Scorer. The Egyptian has looked sharp since signing for City. And with Haaland out injured, the case for backing the in-form new guy is clear…
