Manchester United face an easy FA cup fixture at Old Trafford on Saturday night against Championship side, Watford and will be looking for a win after crashing out of the EFL cup against rivals, Manchester City midweek. Watford have been inconsistent this season after being relegated from the Premier league last year and sit on sixth in the Championship table and have only one win in their last four games.
Some of betting predictions for Manchester United vs Watford match are:
Manchester United vs Watford Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Ole will be looking to rest his first choice keeper, David De Gea for the league match against Burnley after three days and hence we expect Dean Henderson to start at goal for United. Watford have been weak in attack averaging around a goal per game and have scored only four goals in their last five games. Therefore one of the best bets of the match is on Henderson to keep a clean sheet at odds of 1.95, which is a safe way to double your investment.
With Rashford and Bruno Fernandes being a part of almost every game last month, we expect them to be rested and Greenwood to start in United’s attack. Greenwood has been exceptional for United and is one of the most promising talents in the league. Therefore we suggest betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 2.20.
One of the safest bets of the match is betting on total goals scored being less than 3.5 at odds of 1.53 as Watford have been weak in attack and United will be looking to rest most of their first team attackers after last month’s busy schedule.
Quick Rich
Watford have earned almost seven corners per game over their last five matches, while United have earned an average of around six corners per game this season. Hence one of the best bets of the match is each team having over one corner in both halves at odds of 5.50.
Juan Mata will be one of the key playmakers in the absence of Bruno Fernandes and also the first choice penalty taker. Hence betting on him to have a goal and an assist at odds of 8.00 gives high returns at a small risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Manchester United are clear favourites to win the game against a slow, weak Watford side and with United’s bench quality they can overturn any game, even if they give the lead away early in the match. They have been in exceptional form winning five of their last seven games, hence we predict a United win at odds of 1.30.
Bet During the Match
With Cavani injured, if Ighalo starts the match inplace of Martial, who should be rested as he has started the last two matches, we suggest betting on Ighalo to have over two shots on target at odds of 4.60 as he will be leading United’s attack against a weak Watford defence.
Watford overall form: WDLWL
Manchester United overall form: WDWWD
