Tip of the Day

Following a productive international break for England, this weekend sees the Premier League return with a cracking list of fixtures. The pick of the bunch comes at the Etihad on Sunday afternoon with the first Manchester Derby of the campaign. For our latest tip of the day, we highlight a solid value Bet Builder to hopefully earn a profit from the afternoon’s entertainment.

Manchester City vs Manchester United – Over 2.5 Goals

Already six points adrift of Liverpool, Manchester City really need to win this one. However, despite their recent troubles, Manchester United are unbeaten in four against their city rivals. Whichever way this pans out, we expect goals to be on the menu. Manchester United fail to convince at the back, while City have looked vulnerable on the counterattack in their opening three games.

Manchester City vs Manchester United – Erling Haaland to Score Anytime

By his standards, Erling Haaland was below his best in 2024/25, but the prolific Norwegian has looked sharp across City’s opening three fixtures. A danger on the break, set pieces, and City’s penalty taker, he is averaging a goal a game so far this season and can continue that form here.

Manchester City vs Manchester United – Amad Diallo to Score Anytime

United may struggle to contain their hosts but have the players to trouble City on the break. With fitness concerns surrounding the excellent Matheus Cunha, the man to side with is the pacy and direct Amad Diallo. Having broken home hearts with an injury-time winner in the game here last season, Diallo has had a shot on target in all three Premier League games so far and can grab his first goal of the campaign.

What makes our Tip of the Day different?

Choosing the Tip of the Day isn’t random—it’s research and analysis. Our team look at the days fixtures in football, horse racing, tennis and other sports to find strong betting opportunities. We look at team form, player statistics, injuries, motivation and even market movement to narrow it down to the best option. Only when we’re confident the bet offers value do we make it the tip of the day.

What Do We Look for in Our Tip of the Day?

Our Tip of the Day isn’t about chasing the longest odds or the biggest wins—it’s about finding bets that offer real value with a realistic chance of winning. To do this we dive into the numbers: recent team or player form, home vs away performance, injuries, head-to-head records and the wider context of the fixture. We also track market movement and compare bookmaker prices to make sure the tip is available at good, competitive odds.

What Price Do We Look For With Our Tip of the Day?

With our Tip of the Day we look for the sweet spot between value and winning. We usually look for prices that aren’t too short to make the bet unappealing but not so long the risk outweighs the reward. Most of the time our tips fall in the evens to 3/1 range (2.0 – 4.0 in decimal odds) but we don’t limit ourselves to that range if the research points to value outside of it.
