Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Monday’s Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Manchester United (0 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Liverpool (0-0-2) Monday to Old Trafford with kickoff set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Both teams have started this season extremely disappointing. Liverpool has 2 draws after finishing 2nd in the league last season. They did lose star F Sadio Mane this offseason.

Liverpool drew Fulham 2-2 and then Crystal Palace 1-1. Liverpool did beat Manchester City 3-1 on July 30 to win the Community Shield which does showcase the potential this squad has.

As for Manchester United, they seem to be imploding. United has lost their first 2 games and were absolutely destroyed by Brentford their last time on the pitch.

They lost 4-0 to Brentford and 2-1 to Brighton. Despite having superstar F Cristiano Ronaldo, United has actually yet to score as their lone goal was technically an own goal.

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Manchester United 0

Money line (ML)

PASS.

These money line odds are nasty, and mainly because Liverpool doesn’t feel that much better than United, especially on the road. Similarly, betting on United just feels like a waste of money at this point.

I would personally stay far away from betting either side here as both are just not proven enough so far this season.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+155).

When it rains, it pours, and that’s how it felt watching United against Brentford.

Brentford scored 4, but a few of those were on GK David de Gea. Those mistakes won’t be repeated. Brentford had just 1.8 expected goals. Man U has not scored a goal aside from Brighton’s own goal.

Liverpool had only 7 shots on target through the 2 games. Losing Mane is a big deal for their attack with F Mohamed Salah expected to carry a heavier load.

Also, Liverpool had one of the best defenses in the EPL last season and should limit the struggling Man U attack. Considering it all, and I like the Under 2.5 (+155) as the best value in this match.

Liverpool vs. Manchester United odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Liverpool vs. Manchester United odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Liverpool (22 wins, 2 losses, 7 draws) hosts Manchester United (15-8-9) at Anfield Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Liverpool vs. Manchester United odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool has had a difficult last two weeks, playing 2 Champions League matches and also taking on Manchester City twice in that span. It was a successful 2-0-2 in those 4 matches.

F Mohamed Salah leads the EPL with 20 goals and F Diogo Jota (15) and F Sadio Mane (13) are in the top-5 as well. Liverpool also has allowed the second-fewest goals in league play.

Liverpool sits second on the table while the F Cristiano Ronaldo-led Manchester United is fifth. Ronaldo netted a hat trick in a 3-2 win for Man U last weekend and has 15 goals in 26 EPL matches.

Man U is 2-2-2 in its last 6. It lost 5-0 to Liverpool on Oct. 24, 2021, with Salah netting 3 of the 5 goals. Man U has scored 52 and allowed 44 in 32 EPL games this season.

[tipico]

Prediction

Liverpool 3, Manchester United 1

Money line (ML)

PASS.

Liverpool hasn’t been beaten at home, but it does have 3 home draws in 15 league matches at Anfield. I wouldn’t bet on Liverpool to win outright at -270.

The value just isn’t there, and given the prior stats, it makes betting on Man U not wise either.

BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE at -133 isn’t necessarily worth the value either. Throughout all competitions, Liverpool has allowed a goal in 4 straight matches.

Considering Liverpool’s defensive dominance, the play for BOTH TEAMS NOT TO SCORE at -103 is the better side.

Liverpool has allowed just 22 goals in 31 games and didn’t allow a goal in 4 straight matches prior to taking on Benfica April 5. That’s the better value, but I’d PASS on both there and play the total.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN to the OVER 3.5 (+125).

Liverpool dropped 5 on Man U the first time these two teams played, and after a tiring two weeks, there could be a reason to believe the home side’s key forwards may get a rest.

If Salah, Mane, and Jota are in the starting lineup, I’d upgrade this to a full play, especially considering Man U gave up 2 to Norwich last weekend. Man U’s 44 goals allowed is the second-highest of any top-10 club.

Man U is weak defensively and Liverpool will expose those flaws.

On the opposite end, Man U has scored 3 goals in 2 of its last 4 EPL matches and has scored in 3 of its last 4 league matches. It has a capable offense that should be able to get at least one on the board.

Given the importance of this game for Liverpool’s place on the table, it should bring its firepower; however, I’d wait until the lineups are named to play this battle of powerhouses.

Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the most anticipated EPL game of the weekend, Liverpool (5 wins, 0 losses, 3 draws) will visit Manchester United (4-2-2). Kickoff from Old Trafford is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool could be the most balanced club in the EPL, with a talented attacking trio and arguably the best defender in the world, 30-year-old D Virgil van Dijk. The undefeated club will be a road favorite Sunday.

The Reds’ attack is led by star F Mohamed Salah, who had the league’s most goals entering the weekend. F Roberto Firmino and F Sadio Mane both rank in the top ten in goals scored as well.

Manchester United will have its hands full, especially because it looks likely it will not have F Bruno Fernandes or F Marcus Rashford available. Midseason addition F Cristiano Ronaldo and M Paul Pogba will have their work cut out.

Man U was thrashed 4-2 by Leicester City last weekend in EPL action but picked up a 3-2 mid-week victory over Atalanta in the Champions League.

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Manchester United 0

Money line (ML)

BET on LIVERPOOL (+127) as the best bet in this match.

Liverpool has shown far fewer flaws so far this season despite both sides having ultra-talented players. Man U is inconsistent in its play as we’ve seen over the last week.

While United should be better at home, Liverpool will more than likely prove to be too much. The Reds come into the weekend with the most goals in the EPL and their attacking trio is in great form, and they’ve only given up 6 goals in 8 games.

Manchester United has tied Everton, lost to Aston Villa and lost to Leicester in its last three EPL matches.  Even at home against a surging Liverpool, it stands little chance of even a draw.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the ALTERNATE TOTAL UNDER 2.5 (+145).

Why? Because there are typically fewer goals in massive EPL matches.

Both Chelsea and Liverpool lead the league in scoring, yet it resulted in a 1-1 draw when they played. Even when Liverpool took on Manchester City, despite 4 goals being scored, there were just 7 total shots on goal.

Last season, Man U and Liverpool had two of the top-five scoring offenses. However, in their head-to-head matches, Liverpool won one 2-0 and the other was a 1-1 draw.

With van Dijk looking to play all 90, expect Man U’s defense to be energized at home. Down key strikers, their offense may not have the same fortune.
