Manchester United - Leicester City betting tips and odds

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.62 bring great value considering the fact that Manchester United are indeed firm favourites to defeat Leicester City.

Considering what they’re up against, The Foxes can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 5.50 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

After entering their previous Premier League match as the 3.90 favourites, Manchester United failed to pull ahead for more than half the match. However, the bookies’ confidence turned out to be on point as they dominated the second half and locked 3 points with a 0:2 away win.

Not many people expected a win from The Foxes last round considering the 3.65 odds most bookmakers online gave them. In a surprising turn of events, they dominated the game throughout the runtime, snagging a comfortable 4:1 victory against Tottenham Hotspur.

The Red devils 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.

Based on their recent performance, Leicester’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

With a 3rd during the mid-season, Manchester United are well on their way to a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty of time left, though, and they still have a decent shot at the championship title even.

According to the recent head-to-head records, Man. Utd already has a win over the away team recorded earlier in the season. It was a narrow victory, but a victory nonetheless, justifying the 1.62 odds on a home win.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Scott McTominay, Donny van de Beek, Christian Eriksen are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Manchester United’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.62 at bet365.
