Luton visit Manchester United on Saturday afternoon, as they look to build on last week’s excellent draw with Liverpool. Meanwhile, United will be hoping that last week’s win at Fulham will be the catalyst for an upturn in their league form.
The latest sports betting odds for the match have United as big favourites for the win, but do our experts agree with that? Read on to find out their exclusive prediction for this big game.
Last week’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool was comfortably the Hatters’ best display of the season so far. They matched their illustrious opponents and were minutes away from a famous win. The point they picked up in that game keeps them in 17th place, a position they will be delighted to still be in when the season ends.
Whilst that draw with Liverpool was impressive, if they can achieve the same (or even better) at Old Trafford it will eclipse that result and give the Hatters a massive boost for the rest of the season.
The last minute winner from Bruno Fernandes at Fulham gave United a welcome boost last weekend. But in truth, it was a very fortunate victory and one that will do little to appease disgruntled fans.
Erik Ten Hag remains under a huge amount of pressure after a string of below par displays from United. Whilst victory over Luton will do little to relieve that pressure, defeat would possibly spell the end of Ten Hag’s time at Old Trafford.
United hold a big 29-4 lead in the head-to-head between the two teams and it has been 37 years since they last lost to the Hatters. However, Saturday’s encounter will represent their first league meeting since the 199-1992 season.
Before looking at your football betting apps for the current odds on the game, don’t forget to read our statistical highlights. These statistics contain vital information that will give you the best chance of finding value in the betting odds for the fixture.
Manchester United are short priced favourites to win the match and can be backed at just 1/3. Luton are priced at 9/1 to spring a surprise, with the draw available at 5/1.
Having seen how Manchester United are playing this season, a price of 1/3 on them winning a Premier League game seems way too short, even against relative minnows like Luton. United look short of confidence, cohesion and quality, whereas Luton will be in high spirits after their performance against Liverpool.
There is a temptation to go for an away win for our betting bonus tip, as odds of 9/1 do hold some appeal. However, we really like the look of 5/1 for a point apiece. Luton’s direct approach will cause United problems and given the host’s recent frailties, there is an excellent chance of a draw.
