Betting on Liverpool
Slowly but surely, Liverpool have been improving their performance in the Premier League, and this Sunday’s match against Manchester United may grant them a spot into the European places. Thanks to a four-matches winning streak, Liverpool have 39 points and hold the sixth position in the scoreboard, which gives them a place in the next Europa League.
They also have one game in hand and are only six points away from Champions League places. In this string of unbeaten games, the key for Liverpool has been to keep a clean sheet on every game, getting back to their good defensive performance that places them as the fourth defense without being scored against in the championship with 28 goals conceded.
Apart from that, we can add that the team coached by Jürgen Klopp is one of five teams in the Premiership to have scored at least 40 goals. Besides, they have scored at least two goals in three of their last four matches.
Playing at home, they have only lost once this season against Leeds on matchday 14; therefore, they are the third team with the fewest goals conceded at home, allowing just nine.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Alisson; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konaté, Virgil Van Dyjk, Andrew Robertson; Jordan Henderson, Fabinho, James Milner; Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Núñez.
Betting on Manchester United
Manchester United is one of the most well-rounded teams in Europe, and this Sunday they need to keep their great performance if they are to keep pace with leaders Arsenal. The team led by Erik ten Hag has now gone on a four-games winning streak, and holds the third place in the scoreboard with 49 points,only six points behind Manchester City in second place and 11 behind the leaders, given that they already have a game in hand.
Since the arrival of the new coach, Manchester United have not stopped winning, as evidenced by their Europa League playoff win over Barcelona and Sunday’s victory over Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final.
In terms of their Premier League performance, they have won seven out of ten games and lost only once during their visit to Arsenal since returning from the World Cup break. During that period, they scored 21 times and allowed only seven goals.
Along with Liverpool, they share the fourth place among the tournament’s least beaten defenses with 28 goals conceded, and they are also one of the five teams with at least 40 goals scored on the circuit, with 41 total.
On the road, Manchester United are the third best team in the English league with 20 points from a possible 36 total. However, they have conceded 20 of the 28 goals it has allowed this year in enemy grounds, and has lost four of the five games played this season.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): David de Gea; Diogo Dalot, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Casemiro, Fred; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
JefeBet Prediction
Although we might think that this Sunday’s match should be very close and with few goals, it is fair to point out that both teams’ offensives are going through a pretty good moment and that they are among the best five in the Premier League.
Let’s not forget that Liverpool scored at least two goals in three of their last four home league matches, while Manchester United have scored at least two goals in seven of their nine league games since their return from World Cup action.
It is also worth mentioning that Liverpool vs Manchester United clashes always have plenty of excitement in store for the fans. In fact, in the last six head-to-head clashes, there have been at least three goals scored between the two teams.
Prediction: Over (LIV 2 – MAN 1)
