Liverpool Manchester United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match is the occurrence of few goals in the first half. Liverpool has a solid defense that is the least leaked of the Premier League and is even stronger when it plays at home where it suffered only 1 goal in the 7 games so far, and this goal was scored in the second stage. Manchester United, in turn, tends to take a very defensive posture against great quality teams and should focus on defending effectively and then attacking, even more knowing the speed of Liverpool strikers who reach the opponents's goal in a few touches. In view of these factors, we believe that Manchester United will put many players in the defensive sector to make it difficult for Liverpool to attack, and because of that, there should be no more than 1 goal in the first stage.

Preview
Liverpool and Manchester United meet at Anfield, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier League. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 2, tied 2 and lost 1. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Premier League, played on 14‑10‑2017, they tied (0‑0).

Analysis Liverpool

After 13 wins and 3 draws, the home team is in the 1st position, havinf won 42 points so far. In the last match, they have won in an away match against AFC Bournemouth by (0‑4), after in the previous match they have won (1‑3) an away match against Burnley. In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got a home win against Napoli by (1‑0). In the last 7 home league matches Liverpool has a record of 6 wins and 1 draw, so they have won 19 points out of 21 possible.

They haven’t lost any of the last 16 matches for this competition. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have been able to score first and have done so in 13 of the last 16 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in advantage in 10 of those 13 matches and have held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in 12 of them. In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 8 of their 11 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Liverpool is making an excellent campaign in the Premier League, comes from 5 consecutive victories, managed to reach the lead in the last round and is looking for 3 more points to stay in first place. The team is very well organized and has a good balance between the offensive and defensive sectors, having scored 34 goals, being the third best attack of the competition, and suffered only 6, having the less leaked defense, being a team that attacks a lot, creates several opportunities, arrives with speed to the attack, but manages to maintain the solidity in its defense that leaves very few spaces. Playing at home, such as Sunday's match, Liverpool has played very well, has the second best campaign of the competition and suffered only 1 goal in the 7 games that it played at home, again showing the enormous strength of its defense, especially in the this type of situation, worth noting that the team has won 4 of these matches for 2 or more goals of difference. 
For the confrontation against Manchester United, coach Jurgen Klopp should keep the same lineup of the last round where he won with an excellent offensive and defensive performance, highlighting striker Salah who has resumed his great football and scored 3 goals in the last match of the Premier League match.

Confirmed Lineup: Alisson, Nathaniel Clyne, Andrew Robertson, Dejan Lovren, Virgil van Dijk, Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum, Naby Keïta, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mané.
Coach: J. Klopp.

Analysis Man Utd

The away team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 26 points won, after 7 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Arsenal, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Fulham, by (4‑1). In their last match, for the UEFA Champions League, they got an away loss against Valencia by (2‑1). In the last 8 away league matches Manchester United has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 24 possible. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Manchester United is campaigning far less than expected in the Premier League but has managed to close a series of 4 games without winning in the last round and now seeks 3 more points to try to get closer to the qualifying zone for the next season's European competition. The team has yielded less than it can in the offensive sector, since it has only the sixth best attack of the competition with 28 goals scored, but the biggest problem has been the defensive inefficiency, as it suffered 26 goals and has the sixth most leaked defense, so much so that it conceded goals in 11 of the last 12 Premier league games and these 11 matches had goals from both sides. 
Playing away from home, such as this Sunday's match, Manchester United has encountered great difficulties, won only 1 of the last 5 games and 7 of the 8 games in this type of situation had goals from both sides. 
For the confrontation against Liverpool, coach José Mourinho will not be able to count on defender Smalling because of injury and, aside from this player, he should repeat the lineup of the last match where he had great performance after several rounds presenting bad football.

Confirmed Lineup: David De Gea, Diogo Dalot, Ashley Young, Victor Lindelöf, Matteo Darmian, Eric Bailly, Jesse Lingard, Ander Herrera, Nemanja Matić, Romelu Lukaku, Marcus Rashford.
Coach: E. ten Hag.
