Manchester City: Current form and team news
Manchester City secured the Premier League title by defeating Tottenham (2-0) and West Ham (3-1). This fourth consecutive win makes Pep Guardiola the first manager in Premier League history to achieve this. The team's main goalkeeper, Ederson, is out for the season with an eye socket injury. The rest of the squad is injury-free and ready to complete their double on Saturday.
Manchester United: Current form and team news
The current season has been challenging under Erik ten Hag's management, with the team failing to qualify for any European competition. They lost the final two matches of the Premier League against Newcastle (3:2) and Brighton (2:0), respectively. However, reaching the cup final largely convinced the management of Manchester United not to sack Erik ten Hag.
Manchester City vs Manchester United: Facts to Know And H2H
This match is a repeat of last year's FA Cup final, where Manchester City beat Manchester United 2-1 to complete the second part of the treble.
Manchester City have won both Premier League meetings with Manchester United this season, beating them 3-0 at Old Trafford and 3- 1 at the Etihad.
Manchester United have lost six of their last seven meetings with Manchester City in all competitions.
The Citizens could complete the league title and FA Cup double for the third time, something only previously achieved by Manchester United (1993-94, 1995-96 and 1998-99) and Arsenal (1970-71, 1997-98 and 2001-02). The Citizens did so in 2018-19 and 2022-23 and thus could become the first-ever team to do so in consecutive campaigns.
Manchester City vs Manchester United: Prediction and Betting Tips
It is always difficult to make predictions for the final. However, Erik Ten Hag’s team will likely face creativity problems. Even the fact that Stefan Ortega, and not Ederson, will defend the favorite’s goal does not make us believe in Man United’s victory.
Our betting tip: Man United - Goals total under 0.5 (Megapari odds - 2.22)
