Manchester United vs Leicester City Predictions
- Over 2.5 goals has been a winning bet in six of United’s last eight games.
- Leicester have scored four goals in each of their last two fixtures.
- United have 13 wins in their last 14 home games.
- James Maddison has two goals in two games.
Resurgent Foxes head to Old Trafford
Manchester United face a quick turnaround as they entertain Leicester City in the first of two Premier League games on Sunday, having played out an entertaining 2-2 draw with Barcelona at Camp Nou on Thursday.
United boss Erik ten Hag could be tempted to rotate for this clash with Leicester ahead of next week’s second leg with the Catalan giants, while Casemiro will definitely drop out of the team as he completes a domestic suspension.
A United win would be the clear selection for this game if they didn’t have the Europa League tie with Barca to contend with despite Leicester’s good form.
The Foxes have pulled clear of the drop zone with seven points from the last nine available and they have been in good scoring form, so instead the goals markets look a good starting point for this Premier League clash on Sunday.
Both teams in impressive scoring form
Leicester started February with a 4-2 win at Aston Villa and backed that up by beating Tottenham 4-1 at the King Power Stadium last week.
United scored at least twice for the eighth successive game at Camp Nou on Thursday and six of those fixtures have seen at least three goals scored in total, so over 2.5 goals looks a strong option for the main bet.
Hard to ignore United’s Old Trafford record
Leicester have enjoyed some success over United in recent seasons and the Foxes have won three of the last five meetings between the two sides, losing just once in the last six.
However, Old Trafford has been a stronghold for Ten Hag’s men this term and they haven’t lost at home since a Europa League defeat to Real Sociedad in September, with their only domestic loss at home coming in the opening round of fixtures.
United have won 13 of their last 14 home games as Leeds halted that streak with a 2-2 draw last time out. It could pay to be bold in the correct score market and a 3-2 win for the hosts looks a reasonable option – as United have scored exactly three goals in five of their last nine home games but have conceded twice in two of their last three games overall and have just one clean sheet in their last five at home.
Marcus Rashford is the obvious scorer selection but his awesome form means he is a short price to register a goal this weekend, and he played the full 90 minutes against Barca so could see his game time limited in some way. With Leicester expected to score, a James Maddison goal looks a good outsider option as he scored in the wins over both Villa and Spurs as well as providing an assist in the latter game.
