Manchester United - Leicester City betting tips and odds

Manchester United are firm favourites in this matchup, and backing them may offer surprising betting value. It’s a very safe bet, though we suppose an upset is not outside the realm of possibility. We wouldn’t count on Leicester City winning, though.

Considering what they’re up against, The Foxes can’t set their ambitions too high in this match. Playing as visitors at odds of 6.25 for an away win, calling them underdogs seems like an understatement.

The hosts are coming on the back of a strong performance against Tottenham Hotspur last round, in which they snagged a 3:2 win, right here in The National Stadium. They were seen as slightly stronger going in, but things still could have gone either way had they not scored early.

The Foxes’s victory against Brentford in the previous round of the Premier League was narrow, but it agreed with most betting predictions. They dominated the pitch from start to finish and the fans at their home stadium were quite pleased.

Experts have pointed at Manchester United’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Premier League games.

The home team in this match find themselves number 6th on the league standings, with 1 point needed for a Europa qualifying spot. Time is quickly running out, though, so an opportunity like this to work towards that goal is quite valuable to Manchester United.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Leicester carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Manchester Utd as somewhat more likely to win.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Danny Ward, Marc Albrighton, Ryan Bertrand have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

Though some punters may prefer more exciting options, the Under 3.5 Goals market is a solid opportunity for this fixture. It offers a surprisingly solid balance between risk and betting value – though the returns on their own aren’t much to look at.
