Middlesbrough – Manchester City: 12th March 2017

Form good time for both teams

We must say that Chelsea look better than United at the moment, so the odds a favor. United does not feel great in trips on the “Stamford Bridge” and talking football, Londoners have a much clearer expression in the moment. Although there are clear reasons why Chelsea’s authoritarian leader in England and United’s only six.

Both teams go through excellent form with 5 wins and a draw in the last 6 matches. United pulls hard for a place in the UEFA Champions League, but the Cup is very important for Mourinho. With Super Cup and League Cup showcase, “The Special One” can finish the season in Top 4 with three trophies in the cabinet, which would be a special performance. United’s problem is that he can not keep up such a match 90 minutes.

Without Zlatan, United’s attack has problems

It is true that the “devils” have lost the most points ever when they met ultradefensive team, but Chelsea has a solid defense, hard-opened. Without Zlatan Ibrahimovic suspended, Manchester’s offensive solutions become more limited. Passing game of Conte’s boys is more fluid and location “blue” will not leave many spaces “devils”. With Hazard and Diego Costa in outposts, De Gea will definitely have a hard day on weekends.

Because the stakes are high and both looking to play at Wembley with the trophy on the table, we anticipate a game of attrition in which defenses will be up. We know that when Chelsea opened the match score entering another register, and Conte is a master of closing games. Hence a duel that can enter the break 0-0 and the bet on fewer goals is recommended.
