Betting on Manchester United
Manchester United has become one of the most entertaining teams in all of Europe in recent weeks, which has helped them establish themselves among the Premier League elite.
In addition to the midweek draw against Barcelona in the Europa League, the Red Devils have won two games in the domestic competition and have only lost one of their last eight in the English league. This performance has them in third place in the standings with 46 points, five behind the leaders, Manchester City and Arsenal, but the Gunners have a game in hand.
Along with a remarkable defensive improvement, which has seen them allow just five goals in their last eight games, the Red Devils scored 16 goals in that span, aided by Marcus Rashford, who scored 14 goals in his last 16 games.
At home, Erik ten Hag’s men have not let their guard down either and have only suffered one defeat in 11 games, which came on Matchday 1 of the Premier League. Since then, they have scored 26 points, while the opponents have only scored on eight occasions, which makes theirs the second-best figure in the circuit.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): David De Gea; Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Luke Shaw; Fred, Facundo Pellistri; Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford; Wout Weghorst.
Betting on Leicester
Little by little, Leicester has been moving away from the relegation places, and their win over Tottenham (last matchday) is certainly a great incentive for the team. Brendan Rodgers’ side has now gone three games without defeat in the Premier League and is 13th in the table with 24 points, six points ahead of Everton and Bournemouth in the bottom relegation places.
The offense has come to The Foxes‘ rescue in recent weeks as, while they have conceded five goals in the last three games, they have scored 10 goals, including four in each of the last two. In fact, Leicester is equalized in sixth position in the Premier League in the goals scored category by registering 36, but these have not helped them much as they are the third-highest scoring team in the league with 38 goals conceded.
As for their performance as visitors, they have not done too badly, as they have scored the same number of points (12) as they did at home. In their last five outings, they have three wins, but the 25 goals conceded are the second-highest number away from home in the league.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Danny Ward; Timothy Castagne, Harry Souttar, Wout Faes, Victor Kristiansen; Youri Tielemans, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall; Tete, James Maddison, Harvey Barnes; Kelechi Iheanacho.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite the result of the first matchup of the season between these two teams, this Sunday’s match promises a good amount of goals at the legendary Old Trafford.
Manchester United has scored at least two goals in eight official games in all competitions, while Leicester is one of the highest-scoring teams in the Premier League and has conceded the second-most away goals.
Similarly, Leicester knows how to score goals, having scored eight in the last two games, and has scored at least one goal in three of their last four visits to Manchester United’s home ground.
Prediction: Both teams score (MAN 3 – LEI 1).
