Chelsea - Manchester United betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.73 is a solid option. That said, Manchester United may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

If betting odds are anything to go on – and they are - Manchester United will likely get overrun by their opponents with little hope of winning. Considering how one-sided this matchup is, they may want to cut their losses and focus their energy elsewhere.

Chelsea played at Leicester City in the previous round and absolutely dominated the entire match. An early lead turned into a complete fiasco for the opposition, exceeding even the most optimistic of predictions in a 0:3 win.

Manchester Utd are recovering from a harsh 4:1 loss at the hands of Watford in the previous round of the Premier League. It may have been an away game for them, but they were still favourites and much more was expected of them.

The Blues have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

Manchester Utd may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

The hosts are the league’s leading team at the moment, though there’s plenty of time to change that fact. They’re not likely to run into much resistance this Sunday, but the Premier League title is still up for grabs.

As clear underdogs in the game on Sunday, Manchester Utd will have to fight hard just to defend their number 8th table position. It’s too early in the season to accurately predict how it will all play out, though, so they can still hope for a Europa Qualification, which is currently 3 points away.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.73. They soundly defeated Manchester United last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, Mason Greenwood have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 1.91, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
