Manchester United - Southampton betting tips and odds

If you’re looking for a relatively safe result bet, a home win at odds of 1.61 is a solid option. That said, Southampton may yet be able to pull off a surprise, maybe even in the form of a stalemate.

Southampton stand next to no chance at beating the hosts in this match. For instance, most bookies online offer odds of 6.40 for an away win, indicating a very small chance of success.

The previous round for Manchester United was quite uneventful, all things considered. The away game at Arsenal saw a draw on half-time and a 0:0 draw at the end – not exactly a treat for the fans.

Southampton’s latest Premier League performance against Aston Villa can’t be called bad, all things considered. Although Southampton were the home team, their opponents were much stronger and took home a narrow 0:1 win after taking the lead in the first half.

The Saints’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 6 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

The Red devils are currently 3 points behind the table leaders. There’s still plenty of time, however, and they seem poised to take another three points this Tuesday. The Champions League dream seems like a reality at this point but with 3 points behind the leaders, a league title is still within their grasp.

The two teams already met this season in the Premier League, with Manchester United taking the victory. It’s understandable why most bookies consider them the favourites, though the advantage is not overwhelming.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
