Manchester United vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
Round 1 of the Premier League also brings the first derby of this season, with Old Trafford hosting the clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. The two teams have kept their coaches and have even made some very good transfers this season. Last season the two rivals faced each other three times, twice in the championship where Arsenal won at home 2-0 in the first leg, and in the second leg there was a draw, 1-1. The third clash took place in the second round of the FA Cup, where Manchester United qualified further after the penalty shootout.
Manchester United:
Manchester United finished the previous season in 15th place in the standings with 42 points, a very poor season for the boys coached by Ten Haag and De Amorim in turn. Although the season was not very good, the management at Old Trafford decided to trust the Portuguese this season also due largely to qualifying for the Europa League final last season, lost to rivals Tottenham, a team that also finished in 17th place in the Premier League, the first above relegation. This season Manchester United will not play in European cups which could be an advantage in the Premier League. In the most recent friendly match, Manchester United finished in a draw with Fiorentina 1-1 after winning on penalties. Manchester United spent 150 million euros on two strikers this summer, Slovenian Benjamin Sesko, 22, from RB Leipzig and Cameroonian Bryan Mbeumo, 26, from Brentford.
Arsenal:
On the other hand, Arsenal continue this season under Mikel Arteta even though the Spaniard was close to winning the Premier League title twice and missed it. Last season Arsenal also finished 2nd in the standings but had a very good run in the UEFA Champions League, where in the quarter-finals they eliminated Real Madrid and in the semi-finals they were eliminated by PSG, the winner of the trophy. In the last friendly match before the start of the new season, Arsenal clearly won at home against Bilbao, 3-0 in the Emirates Cup. Arsenal has been very active in the transfer market and has invested over 200 million euros, bringing in very important players such as Zubimendi Martin from Sociedad, Madueke Noni from Chelsea and probably the headliner, Gyokeres Viktor from Sporting.
