Manchester United vs Burnley Predictions

• Burnley haven’t scored in their last three league games
• The Clarets have failed to win all of their away trips
• Burnley have seen under 2.5 goals in 62% of their away matches
• United have scored exactly once in all four games under Ralf Rangnick

Blow for United

Manchester United saw their Premier League winning run brought to an end on Monday night as they drew 1-1 at Newcastle. The Red Devils turned in a poor display against a Newcastle outfit who have won only once this term, with those two dropped points putting Ralf Rangnick’s side in seventh.

United now sit seven points shy of the top four and they have a battle on their hands to close that gap. They certainly need to improve from their showing at St James’ Park to have any chance, but will facing Burnley be a turning point for United?

Clarets’ away woes

Burnley are having probably their toughest top-flight campaign since their last promotion with just one win from their 15 games this term. They’ve not been helped by their recent flurry of postponements, but the Clarets come into this one having failed to win in five.

The visitors haven’t scored a goal across any of their last three matches and they have major issues on the road. The Clarets have taken only four points from eight league trips, failing to win any of them. They’ve scored just six times across those eight, leaving little hope for them ahead of this difficult trip.

United’s scoring troubles

Burnley are having a torrid time in front of goal, but so are United. The hosts haven’t been a scoring force under Rangnick, scoring only once in each of their first four games under their new boss.

They are at least seeing some defensive improvement, having only conceded twice across those four games. All of Rangnick’s matches so far have been tight, something which should continue against Burnley.

Burnley have seen 62% of their away trips this season finish with fewer than three goals scored. United aren’t likely to rack up goals in this one and Burnley are struggling to create chances, so take the value available on under 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, the visitors’ struggles on the road have us backing a 1-0 home win.
