Manchester United’s poor form continued as they were defeated in the league by Leicester this weekend. They now face another tough test against Italian side, Atalanta at Old Trafford on Wednesday night in the Champions league group stage. Atalanta had a poor start to the season however had recovered some form since then and hence we expect a close match.
Some of betting predictions for Manchester United vs Atalanta match are:
Manchester United vs Atalanta Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have conceded ten goals in eight league games at an average of more than one per game and have scored an average of two goals per game. Hence betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.55 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Marcus Rashford played his first game of the season after returning from injury and scored and as Manchester United will be looking to rest some of their attackers before facing Liverpool next weekend, betting on Rashford to take over 3 shots at odds of 1.72 (betway) is another safe bet.
As both teams have been amongst the highest scoring teams in Europe over the past season and also have weaker defences, hence concede in almost every game, we suggest betting on more than 3.5 goals being scored at odds of 2.20 (bet365).
Quick Rich
Josep Ilicic scored twice this weekend on his return after missing the start of the season and will be a key player for Atalanta as continue their form. Hence betting on him to have over two shots on target at odds of 3.50 (betway) gives good returns at minimal risk.
As we expect it to be an intense attacking match, betting on more than 3.5 goals being scored and 10.5 corners being conceded at odds of 4.33 (betway) is another good bet.
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams have a strong attack an relatively weaker defence. Their form has been decent this season and hence the match could go either way. Thus we expect the match to end as a draw at odds of 4.00 (bet365).
Bet During the Match
Ole might rest Ronaldo, before the Red devils face rivals Liverpool this weekend, however if Ronaldo still starts the match, betting on him to score at odds of 1.77 (betway) is another safe bet.
