As the new Premier League seasons start, Manchester United play Leeds United in the Penines Derby on Saturday afternoon at Old Trafford. Both teams have made some good signings this season with United getting Sancho and Varane while Leeds signing Firpo from Barcelona and Jack Harrison from City. Both teams have had a poor pre season, however had impressed in the league last year and hence we expect a close match.
Some of betting predictions for Manchester United vs Leeds United match are:
Manchester United vs Leeds United Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Manchester United and Leeds, both teams have relatively stronger attacks than defences and as teams try to settle in with their new formations, we expect less defensive stability, hence betting on more than 2.5 goals being scored at odds of 1.61 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Bruno Fernandes had a dream season last year getting the most goals and assists for Manchester United and he is also the first choice penalty and freeckick taker. Leeds United conceded almost 1.5 goals per game last season per match and hence betting on Bruno to get a goal at odds of 2.20 (bet365) is one of the best bets of the match.
Leeds United had earned the third most corners last season, while Manchester United also earned more than five corners per match , hence betting on over 10.5 corners being earned during the match at odds of 1.85 (betway) is another safe bet.
Quick Rich
Patrick Bamford had his highest scoring season last year and was the fourth highest scorer of the league and with Manchester United yet to confirm the signing of Varane, their defence is still unstable, hence betting on Bamford to get a goal at odds of 3.50 (betway) gives good returns at minimal risk.
With Manchester United missing key players due to injury such as Rashford, Cavani and Bailly we expect it to be a close match and betting on the final scoreline to be 2-2, 3-2 or 2-3 at odds of 7.50 (betway) is a good bet.
Win/Lose/Draw
Though Manchester United have a stronger team, they are missing key players due to injury and hence we expect it to be close match as Leeds have the ability to upset any team. Hence we expect the match to end as a draw at odds of 4.50 (bet365).
Bet During the Match
With Cavani and Rashford out, Martial is expected to start as the striker for United and though he had a disappointing season last year, with Sancho, Fernandes and Pogba behind he will be provided loads of quality chances. Therefore if he starts upfront for United betting on him to score at odds of 2.30 (betway) gives good returns.
