Betting on Manchester United
Manchester United are one of the hottest teams in all of Europe and this Wednesday they have another great opportunity to take a major step forward in an outstanding competition.
The team qualified for the round of 16 of the Europa League after eliminating Barcelona and won the Carabao Cup against Newcastle over the weekend. Now, the Red Devils can also make it into the top eight teams in the FA Cup in front of their home fans.
In the previous rounds, the team coached by Erik ten Hag hasn’t struggled at all: they defeated Everton 3-1 and then Reading by the same score. United also comes into the match with a string of 10 official matches unbeaten, with 23 goals scored and just seven conceded, including five clean sheets.
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.
Betting on West Ham
West Ham’s upcoming difficult away fixture, coupled with several crucial games in the following weeks, presents an intriguing situation.
The team not only has to battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League, but also must consider their upcoming match against United, knowing that they have to compete in the Conference League’s round of 16 the following week. The Hammers have a substantial workload, especially as they seem to have somewhat neglected their duties in the English championship. However, they finished first and undefeated in their European competition group.
In the FA Cup, David Moyes’ team secured wins against Brentford and Derby, both away from home. Despite these achievements, West Ham’s record of 10 games without an away win in the Premier League and only one win in 12 matches is a cause for concern.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Lukasz Fabianski; Vladimir Coufal, Angelo Ogbonna, Nayef Aguerd, Benjamin Johnson; Tomás Soucek, Declan Rice, Lucas Paquetá; Jarrod Bowen, Saïd Benrahma, Danny Ings.
JefeBet Prediction
Manchester United look set for great things this season and this Wednesday’s game looks like a mere stepping stone to the FA Cup quarter-finals.
Not only has West Ham failed to perform on the road this year, but the Red Devils have only lost two of their 23 games this season in all competitions at Old Trafford.
Furthermore, in the last 20 matches between the two clubs at Manchester’s home, the home team has only lost once with 15 wins and four draws.
Prediction: Manchester United to win (MAN 2 – WES 0).
