Recent form

Manchester City

Manchester United's recent form has been inconsistent, with an alternating pattern of wins and losses in their last six matches. Their goal-scoring output has been moderate, averaging 1.33 goals per game, while their defense has struggled slightly, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match. The team has participated in several high-scoring games, with 67% of their matches featuring over 2.5 goals. A notable result was their 3-2 victory over Real Betis in a friendly, showcasing their attacking prowess.

Manchester United

Manchester City's recent form presents a mixed picture with some concerning trends. Despite their typically high-scoring games, averaging 2.5 goals per match, their defensive record is worrying, conceding 2.33 goals per game. The team is currently on a streak of three consecutive losses in friendlies, which might raise questions about their pre-season preparation. Notably, all six recent matches have seen both teams score and have gone over 2.5 goals, indicating exciting but potentially vulnerable performances. The standout game is the 4-3 loss to Celtic, showcasing City's offensive prowess but also their defensive frailties. With no clean sheets in this period and a total goals average of 4.83 per game, City's matches have been high-scoring affairs, promising excitement for neutrals but potential concern for fans about the team's balance.

Recent home/away form

Manchester City

Manchester United's recent home form has been mixed, with the team showing both strengths and vulnerabilities. Their last six home games have yielded three wins, one draw, and two losses, indicating inconsistency. Notably, there have been some high-scoring encounters, particularly the 4-2 victory over Sheffield United and the 3-2 wins against both Newcastle United and Real Betis. The Red Devils have been involved in several exciting matches, with 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. However, their defensive record is a concern, as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these six matches, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game. This offensive output is matched by their goal-scoring prowess, also averaging 1.83 goals per game, resulting in a goal difference of zero over this period.

Manchester United

Manchester City's recent away form has been exceptional, with a remarkable run of five consecutive wins and one draw in their last six matches. The team has been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring an impressive 19 goals at an average of 3.17 per game, while maintaining a solid defense with only 5 goals conceded and 4 clean sheets. Notably, City has scored 4 goals in three of these away games (against Fulham, Brighton, and Crystal Palace), showcasing their attacking prowess. The high-scoring affair against Real Madrid in the Champions League, ending in a 3-3 draw, stands out as a particularly exciting match. With 67% of these games seeing over 2.5 goals, City's away performances have been both dominant and entertaining, highlighting their strength on the road.
