We found a strong tip for Manchester United vs Everton
It’s a tough match between two teams in bad form, and both are desperate for a win.
The opening match of the 28th round of the Premier League is played between Manchester United and Everton. The Red Devils would be looking to improve on a poor city clash, while Liverpool would be looking to break a ten-match winless streak in the PL.
Team news
A very big difference between Manchester City and United in the city clash, where United led for a long time, but City deserved to win. The huge difference is perhaps shocking even if it was expected that City would have the upper hand.
United have thus lost their last two league games, putting them further and further away from qualification for next season’s Champions League. Based on the play on show, United have little upside, their defence is lousy and they can barely get the upper hand.
Everton’s very hectic season continues, with a poor start to the season and point deduction putting the team in a difficult position. The team seemed to be recovering from this, with results starting to come in, but from mid-December Sean Dyche’s side hit a slump that they need to get out of very quickly if they don’t want a nail-biting end to the season.
The play on show is much better than the results suggest. That gives reason for optimism, but it’s time for the Blues to make their chances.
The team is 18 (!) goals below their xG, so they should be at 47 goals based on their positional scoring, but instead they are languishing in 16th place with 29 goals.
Manchester United continue to have a lot of absentees. In addition to the long-term absentees, Rasmus Hojlund is out, while Harry Maguire and Jonny Evans are both questionable. Idrissa Gueye and Arnaut Danjuma are out for the Blues, while Beto could start up front again.
Free pick for Manchester United vs Everton
Two hectic teams will meet in a match that could be decided by which of the two in-form teams can make the most of their positions. Manchester United’s defence continues to be terrible, almost every team capable of creating situations against them.
They have allowed 17, 22, 16 shots in their three home league games this season, but Luton, Aston Villa have also conceded 20+ shots recently.
Let’s not even overthink it, Everton should be able to easily concede at least 13 shots with this attacking potential, so that’s our bet for Saturday’s clash. It seems to be a strong tip on bet365.
