Manchester United - Leicester City predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of Manchester United and the fact that Leicester City are given 8.10 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

There is no denying Manchester Utd can be satisfied with their last round’s Chelsea draw. It was a difficult game to begin with and a point from an HT/FT draw is nothing to be shy about.

Considering they were visitors playing against a much stronger team, the 1:1 result isn’t too bad for The Foxes. They were tied with Ipswich Town throughout the match.

A quick look at the visiting team’s recent history tells us a lot about their weaknesses. Specifically, we’re talking about the fact that they’ve allowed more than 5 goals over their 3 most recent Premier League outings.

These early stages of the Premier League season have been quite bad for Leicester. They’re dangerously close to the relegation zone and are heading into a very unfavourable matchup in The National Stadium. On the bright side, the season just started, relatively speaking. They’ll have plenty of time to earn some points in the following rounds.

Manchester United already won against The Foxes this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Christian Eriksen, Luke Shaw, Antony will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

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 1.44, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
