Manchester United vs Liverpool Match Prediction

Manchester United vs Liverpool Match Prediction

In the last six head-to-head matches between rivals at Old Trafford, the Merseysides have not scored more than once. Liverpool have scored only twice in the last ten matches at Manchester United. Both teams have scored in six of the last seven head-to-head matches on the Manchester United field.

Manchester United

The Red Devils are playing successfully this season. This week the Mankunians brought Roma to Old Trafford with a score of 6:2 in the first semifinal match, thanks to which they made a significant claim to reach the Europa League final. And after the first half "Manchester United" was inferior to the Romans with a score 1:2. Since the return game is essentially a formality, the mood for Liverpool will be almost combative.

Although without this, Leaver is a good irritant for Manchester United. The confrontation between rivals is called the "Northwest Derby". This derby is often viewed by players and fans as the most important derby for both clubs, surpassing in importance even the intra-city derby against Everton and Manchester City, respectively.

In fact, the team of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer no longer claims to be the champion. At the moment, the “red devils” have settled on the second step in the Premier League table. They are ten points behind the leading Manchester City and it is unlikely that they will be able to win back against the current leader. Although it is necessary not to lose the handicap over the third Leicester, which is currently four points with one game in hand.

In general, during the championship Manchester United played better away, although in the last home games they almost did not stray from the winning move. At Old Trafford, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's players have won five of their previous six matches and ended in a draw. It should be noted that Manchester United has one of the best attacking lines in the current championship. On average, Mancunians score 1.9 goals per game, which is the second highest in the Premier League.

Forward Anthony Martial and defender Phil Jones will miss the match due to injuries.

Liverpool

Now for Liverpool is the period of important matches, in which every point earned is worth its weight in gold. The reigning champion takes only sixth place in the standings. Jurgen Klopp's team is four points behind the fourth Chelsea, but the situation at the top of the tournament is so tight that at the end of the championship the Reds may be left without any European cups at all.

On the road, Liverpool have earned as many points as at home, namely 27 each, although they played one less game. In the last away matches, Jurgen Klopp's wards managed to beat Sheffield United (2:0), Wolverhampton (1:0), Arsenal (3:0) and also ended in a draw with Leeds (1:1). In total, in 16 matches on the rivals' fields Lersysides have only seven victories. Six meetings they ended in a draw and lost three times.

The guests' infirmary remains full. Injured are defenders Nathaniel Phillips, Joel Matip, Joseph Gomez, Virgil van Dijk, midfielder Jordan Henderson, striker Divock Origi and goalkeeper Kuivin Kelleher. So, what is the soccer bet prediction for today?
