Manchester United vs Burnley Predictions

• Five of Manchester United’s last seven Premier League games have gone over 3.5 goals
• Six of Burnley’s last eight away games in the Premier League have ended with BTTS as a winning bet
• The Red Devils have conceded 13 goals in their last five games
• Alejandro Garnacho has seven league goals in 25 starts

Red Devils fail to convince once more

Manchester United were again disappointing in midweek as they had to come from behind twice at home to basement boys Sheffield United to win 4-2 thanks to late goals from Bruno Fernandes and Rasmus Hojlund.

That came just a few days after the Red Devils gave up a 3-0 lead to be taken to extra time by Championship side Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final. The second tier team thought they had won it in extra time before Victor Torp’s last minute winner was ruled out by VAR for an offside in the build up.

The tie went to a penalty shootout which Manchester United won to reach the cup final, where they will face rivals Manchester City, but the nature of that performance left a bitter taste in the mouth and the Red Devils hardly put that right against the Blades.

They have now conceded 13 goals in their last five games in all competitions and keep having to rely on moments of individual excellence to bail them out of the situations they have gotten themselves into.

The pressure has been rising on Erik Ten Hag and he needs his side to impress in the upcoming Premier League matches to secure a European berth.

Burnley in with slim chance of staying up

Burnley have looked doomed to relegation for much of the season but a run of just one defeat from their last seven league games has given them a chance of retaining their Premier League status.

The Clarets are three points clear of safety, but their poor goal difference means that they are practically four points adrift of Nottingham Forest in 17th and need to start turning their recent draws into victories.

Vincent Kompany’s men have found their shooting boots in recent weeks, scoring in six of their last seven games and putting four past relegation-threatened Sheffield United last time out.

High-scoring clash likely

With Burnley finding the net with more regularity and Manchester United struggling defensively, it may to side with over 3.5 goals in this one.

Despite their struggles, the Red Devils should have enough quality to get the victory and correct score backers should consider a 3-1 win for the hosts.

Alejandro Garnacho has been one of the bright lights for Erik Ten Hag’s men this season and he could be the key to this game, the Argentinian has seven goals in his 25 league games and is fancied to add to that tally.
