Manchester Utd vs Burnley Prediction & Betting tips
Liverpool FC have 64 out of 66 possible points on the credit side. Last weekend, the Reds prevailed against arch-rival Manchester United 2: 0 and deservedly silenced the very last doubters.
Manchester United, however, failed to reduce the gap to the Champions League spot. The fifth in the table is doomed to victory in the coming weeks. In the English week there will be a duel between Manchester United and Burnley at Old Trafford Stadium in the course of the 24th match day!
The return to the premier class is the Red Devils’ big goal, but the Solskjaer team are currently five points behind after 23 of 38 match days. In games like against Burnley FC only a complete success counts.
The guests collected a surprising success last weekend with a 2-1 home win against Leicester (3rd) and gave themselves a little air in the relegation battle. Another point win against a CL aspirant would definitely be a surprise.
Manchester United:
Across all competitions, 22-year-old Marcus Rashford scored 19 goals this season and also delivered five assists. The English team player thus became life insurance for the Red Devils. But in the next six weeks, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will have to do without his top scorer. After losing 0-2 to the Reds, the club confirmed a back injury that Rashford suffered in the FA Cup duel against the Wolves.
A serious loss that makes the chances for the Champions League qualification wane. After his retirement, Anthony Martial and youngster Mason Greenwood (18 years) are only two nominal strikers available. Moussa Dembele, Paco Alcacer or Arkadiusz Milik are already being considered by the media as a possible replacement for the upcoming spring.
In the last two home games in the English Premier League, Manchester United have scored four goals (Newcastle and Norwich). There were three home games en suite with at least four goals over 40 years ago – in calendar year 1977. However, due to the Rashford loss, a bet on it seems to be very risky.
However, the forecast of a martial goal could be more interesting in the duel between Manchester United and Burnley, because the Frenchman has scored in every game against the Clarets. For another martial hit, the betting odds are just over 2.00.
In addition to Marcus Rashford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (who has had a balanced 11-9-11 record since his permanent position as Red Devils coach) also has to do without Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay. Nevertheless, the clear favorite role at home is justified. Finally, Manchester United can currently look back on a strong 6-4-1 record.
The striking problems on the defensive are striking this season. Spanish goalkeeper David de Gea was only able to keep his box clean in four of the 23 Premier League games. So goals against Manchester United are on the agenda.
Burnley:
Sparkling wine or seltzer – head coach Sean Dyche’s Clarets only seem to know the two extremes. The last division of points in the English Premier League was on September 28th. Since then, the current 14th in the Premier League has celebrated six wins and suffered ten losses. With currently 27 points, the Dyche team is currently five points ahead of the first relegation zone.
The team cheered three points, which were not necessarily calculated, last weekend. At the Turf Moor at home, third-placed Leicester City was forced to its knees 2-1. Two series were continued. For the eleventh time in a row, Burnley failed to score in the first half.
The goals from Kieran Westwood and Chris Wood were goals nine and ten, which the Dyche team now scored in series in the second half. Overall, 73 percent of the goals were scored in the second section.
The Clarets – the wine reds – show a way of playing that a neutral football fan doesn’t necessarily like. The term “kick and rush” would be a little too old-fashioned, but in some ways this reflects philosophy. Burnley is the only Premier League team to have a pass rate of less than 70%.
Burnley head coach Sean Dyche (in office since October 2012) has won over 26 of 29 teams in the Premier League in his career. Against the Red Devils, he is still waiting for a win after nine games (four draws, five defeats).
