I'm going to predict a win for City.

Man for man, they're probably as good as United, especially with Rooney out of action. Plus, United weren't firing on all cylinders at the weekend, and statistically the home advantage counts for a lot.

What do you guys think?

I really think it depends how many players United can get back and fit for the city game.
City should be able to beat a team like the one United had to put out against Wolves but a near full-strength United will be a different story.
I will personally be waiting for the team news - also how sharp will Tevez be after his jaunt back to Argentina?

Doesn't look good for United in terms of player availability:

I'm with Dave, Fergusson sometimes bluffs and I will just wait for any news. Something like Nani being back can make the market go berzerk!

The market can't seperate the two by the look of it. I think under 2.5 goals is a little skinny. You would expect the match to be a tight low scoring draw probably, but unders is too short IMHO.

I'd be tempted to back the draw after the first goal depending on how the match is playing out.

I'd certainly be tempted to lay the draw in the 90th Min of of Fergie's "Matrix" time awaiting the Utd penalty in the 97th and the howls of the City fans.

A rather predictable bore draw, both teams didn't appear to want to lose!

Do you tend to find that Derby matches have a higher draw probability overall as suggested below??

Yes, it's true. Teams that are close to each other have a tendancy to draw more often than teams that are not, but the market often discounts that fact.
