Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Manchester United vs. Liverpool at English Premier League
Everything is heating up in the English Premier League, with three teams chasing the title. Among them is Liverpool, which heads to Manchester to meet United this Sunday night. The Reds have no room for mistake, and neither do the hosts, who are trying to go up in the standings and make a miracle by reaching the fourth spot. However, that’s already more closer to theory than practical work.
Manchester United
Up and down, up and down—that’s the situation in United’s performances this season. Despite all the signings and money spent, the Red Devils aren’t the top team in the league anymore, though they can have a great impact on the standings by making surprising results.
When playing at the Old Trafford, this unit is mediocre, having eight wins in 14 appearances with five losses and a tie. The goal difference is almost neutral, with 21 goals scored and 20 allowed.
The majority of home matches are efficient, with five of the past six ending over 2.5 goals. Among them is a win over Liverpool in the recent FA Cup clash, which saw the hosts win only after extra time.
Liverpool
This is one of the remaining nine finals for the Reds, who now have to show their character despite all the small problems and issues they have in the physio room. Liverpool’s struggles with injuries this year have been annoying, but even so, Klopp and the crew managed to stay in the race for the title.
When it comes to Liverpool’s games and their efficiency, we don’t need to explain much. A vast majority of them are with three or more goals, and usually, while winning, Liverpool allows a goal, sometimes two.
Jurgen Klopp wants his team to attack and pressure all the time, and he doesn’t mind too much about calming the pace and entering some positional battle on the field. And this is his approach no matter where L’Pool plays.
Manchester United: Onana; Dalot, Varane, Maguire, Wan-Bissaka; Mainoo, McTominay; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Hojlund
Liverpool: Kelleher; Bradley, Konate, Van Dijk, Gomez; Szoboszlai, Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Gakpo, Diaz
As stated, United recently eliminated Liverpool from the FA Cup, 4-3, with the result after the regular 90 minutes being 2-2. The Reds were better in this event, but luck was on United’s side. The opening game of the year, which was at Anfield, ended without goals.
Liverpool has to attack to win here, and on the other side, United won’t be willing to do the same, yet the Red Devils won’t have another option but to accept an intense battle. Our pick here is over 2.5 goals, and another reason for that would be the recent efficiency of the respective matches these two units had with other rivals.
Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
