Burnley vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Eight years have passed since the 20th and to date the last English championship of the English record champions Manchester United. Right at the beginning of 2021, however, the Red Devils could set the course early so that they will finally be at the top again in summer. One point in the catch-up game at Burnley would be enough to overtake arch-rivals Liverpool and take the lead in the 2020/21 season for the first time.
The betting providers even trust the Solskjaer-Elf to win. In the run-up to the clash between Burnley and Manchester United, the bookmakers’ odds are clearly pointing towards the guests.
After all, Burnley could only win four of the 15 league games and only marked a sobering nine goals. This contrasts with Red Devils, who averaged three away goals in the Premier League. Because the Clarets will certainly go into this game with full focus on the defensive, we do not expect any more goal fireworks.
Burnley :
Burnley was only able to win four of the 15 league games in the Premier League. The Clarets still have nothing to do with the relegation. In the current table of the Premier League, the men from the east of the county of Lancashire hold 16th place and have five points ahead of the first relegation place.
If Sean Dyche’s selection in the catch-up games secures one or the other point, the club, founded in 1882, could go into the second half of the month with a good cushion.
The Clarets have done extremely well, especially since December. Burnley played seven competitive games in the last five weeks.
It should be noted that almost everything in the selection of Sean Dyche is defensive. The Clarets have only conceded 20 goals in league operations so far, which certifies them to be the best defense in the Premier League. In addition, there has always been a maximum of one goal conceded per game for seven competitive games.
The fact that the Clarets are not in the upper half of the table in view of such strong defensive values is solely due to the lack of penetration of the storm series. Only nine league goals scored correspond to the second weakest offensive in the Premier League.
But if the defensive score was zero, strong results such as the 1-0 away win at Arsenal FC were achieved, which is why this home game on Turf Moor is a surprise in the realm of possible against the English record champions. With a view to the combination of a weak offensive and a strong defense, Burnley’s tip on a maximum of two goals appears to be the more sustainable choice against Manchester United.
Manchester United :
Manchester United also experienced several setbacks in the 2020/21 season. At the start of the season there was a 1: 3 home defeat against Crystal Palace, before just two weeks later the home game against Tottenham was lost 6-1.
Everything looked like the Red Devils were facing another extremely difficult season. The calls for a new coach got louder again when United, to make matters worse, failed in the Champions League preliminary round at Paris and Leipzig and had to make do with the intermediate round of the Europa League.
However, none of these setbacks did any lasting damage to the team. Instead, the English record champions got up again and again and waited for the slip-ups of the competitors, who recently came in rows.
United itself has meanwhile been undefeated for ten league games in a row and collected 26 of 30 possible points in this time window, which resulted in a 2-1 win over Aston Villa on New Year’s Day, tying the points with leaders and arch rivals Liverpool – and that in one game fewer.
Now, in the catch-up game with the Clarets, a single point is enough to take the lead in the standings and greet them from the sunny side for the first time this season. Judging by the fact that the Red Devils are still unbeaten away, scored 19 out of 21 points in seven away games and scored an average of three goals per game (21 goals in total), the trip to the east of the county of Lancashire is under an overall good star.
