Man United vs Leicester Betting Tips, Predictions and Preview

Manchester United vs Leicester predictions and betting tips for this weekend’s Premier League fixture on Saturday plus the best odds for each of our tipsters’ selections.

 

Fixture: Manchester United v Leicester

Competition: Premier League

Kick-off time: 12:30pm, Saturday 24th September 2016

Venue: Old Trafford

 

Manchester United

Three defeats in a week has dented morale at Manchester United. Not only have they been losing games, but their manager hasn’t helped things by publically grilling his underperforming stars. With six points separating Mourinho from his great rival Pep Guardiola, it’s no wonder the Portuguese manager is getting edgy. Can he get his side focused ahead of a crucial clash in the early kick off on Saturday? The way that City are playing, any slip from United would see the gap between the two grow. That makes this a must win game.

 

Leicester

Leicester’s recent upturn fell apart on Tuesday night, after they lost 4-2 against Chelsea in the EFL Cup. The champions had picked up two 3-0 wins on the spin before that, and they were well on their way to victory before the Blues fought back. Losing a game after being 2-0 up leaves some serious questions for Claudio Ranieri. His side have lost the defensive solidity that took them to the title during the Premier League run in. Having been hit for four at Liverpool in their last league away game, the Foxes should be worried about what could happen to them if United find their form.

 

Manchester United vs Leicester Predictions

 

United fans were originally worried that Mourinho would be too defensive as United coach, but there’s been little sign of that so far. His side aren’t looking great at the back in their early games. They’ve conceded five in their last two Premier League outings, which shows just how open they’ve been. With Leicester giving their star forwards a rest in midweek, they should be ready to trouble the Red Devils on Saturday. Of course, Mourinho has plenty of attacking talent of his own. The Foxes have shipped four goals in a game twice in recent weeks, so you’d expect the hosts to get on the scoresheet. For my first Man United vs Leicester betting tip I’m backing over 2.5 goals here and both teams to score, which is priced at 5/4 with Coral.

First Goalscorer Betting Tips

 

Zlatan Ibrahimovic couldn’t save United last weekend, but the forward has made a fantastic start to the season. He’s found the net five times in six starts, hitting three goals in his two Old Trafford appearances so far. The Swede hit his first goal for United in a 2-1 win against Leicester at Wembley, and we see him causing more damage here. The former PSG striker is our Man United vs Leicester prediction to score the first goal when the Red Devils take on the champions on Saturday. He comes in to this one priced at 4/1 with Bet Victor on the first goalscorer market.
