Betting on Manchester United
Manchester United have a great opportunity to consolidate their position in the European places when they host Leeds in a rescheduled match from August 2 last year. After 21 games played, the Red Devils are in third place with 42 points, three points behind Manchester City and eight points behind Arsenal at the top of the Premier League.
The team coached by Erik ten Hag is one of the strongest in the tournament, with six wins in the last seven rounds and only three defeats in the last 14 games played. In addition, United are the third-best team in the Premier League playing at home with 25 points from 10 games. What’s more, at Old Trafford they only lost on one occasion when they were beaten by Brighton on matchday 1. They have conceded just six goals, the lowest ratio in the league, and will be without Casemiro, who was sent off last weekend.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): David De Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Fred, Facundo Pellistri; Antony, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
Betting on Leeds United
Traveling to Manchester in midweek does not seem to be good news for a Leeds team that most likely will not be able to get out of the bad moment in which they are immersed. In addition to going seven games without a win, Leeds have just sacked Jesse Marsch as their coach, with the team just one place above the relegation zone. They currently have 18 points, but due to goal difference they are ahead of Everton in the last place for a place in the Championship.
Another not-so-favorable statistic for Leeds is their performance away from home. After 10 games played they have accumulated just five points, the worst tally in the league alongside Bournemouth, and the 20 goals they have conceded on the road are the fourth most in the Premiership.
That poor defensive performance has meant that the 26 goals scored by Leeds, a good amount for a team so far down the league table, has not helped them perform any better this season.
Possible lineup (4-2-3-1): Illan Meslier; Rasmus Kristensen, Luke Ayling, Maximilian Wöber, Pascal Struijk; Marc Roca, Tyler Adams; Brenden Aaronson, Jack Harrison, Wilfried Gnonto; Patrick Bamford.
JefeBet Prediction
There is not much to analyze in this game. Manchester United should win comfortably despite important absentees such as Casemiro, Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial.
Ten Hag’s side have only lost one game at Old Trafford this season and must face one of the worst visitors in the league, who will also have to face this game with an interim manager while the team’s new boss is being found.
In addition, the Red Devils are going through having scored 15 goals in their last seven games, while Leeds have been weak in their defensive lines throughout their performances in the current season.
Prediction: Manchester United to win (MUN 2 – LEE 0).
