Manchester United Stoke City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

In recent years, Manchester United have revealed several difficulties to beat Stoke City as they haven’t won for three consecutive matches. In the last match in this stage it was verified a 1-1 draw. However, the two teams are going through completely different realities in English football, that is, the home team players fight for the first position and the visiting team to leave the relegation zone. So, and also taking into account the difference of the two teams, risking the Manchester United’s victory for two or more goals is full of value.

Playing at home, Manchester United has only one defeat. In this home match, the coach Jose Mourinho must play in the usual 4-3-3 benefiting from ball possession and the organized attacks, being Juan Mata the main organizer and creator of the offensive process. It should be noted the home team shows some difficulty in the coordination and organization of their defensive line. Apparently the Belgian Lukaku is recovered and should occupy the forward position of the team. In the opposite direction are Bailly and Ibrahimovic, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: David De Gea, Antonio Valencia, Luke Shaw, Phil Jones, Chris Smalling, Nemanja Matić, Juan Mata, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial.

In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Stoke City comes for this match completely devastated after being eliminated from the FA Cup by Coventry. In the championship, the team records two defeats in a row against Newcastle and Chelsea. Due to this black stage of results, the coach Mark Hughes was fired. In this away match, the visiting team’s coach must play in 4-4-2, benefiting the defensive organization and the dead balls for the attack, especially for Diouf: this player is very fast and excellent at finishing. It should be noted that Stoke presents some difficulties in maintaining the ball possession and organization of their block. It seems the coach has Pieters, Johnson and Shawcrossin doubt, all with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Jack Butland, Moritz Bauer, Josh Tymon, Kurt Zouma, Bruno Martins Indi, Darren Fletcher, Joe Allen, Stephen Ireland, Xherdan Shaqiri, Peter Crouch, Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting.
