Premier League Leicester vs Manchester United : Expert Forecasts And Bettings

Football journalist, an Africatopsports expert provides a prediction for the Premier League 38th game day between Leicester and Manchester United.

The English champion has been admittedly known already since several weeks. But this does not prevent the Premier League 38th game day from being as decisive as well as exciting. On Sunday afternoon, Leicester City is hosting Manchester United disputing a place in the Champions League next season.

Currently third and fifth in the championship, both teams are at one point distance. (63 points for the Reds and 62 points for Leicester). Anything can happen in this final race. But the Mancunians are favourite. Because they do not need a victory to qualify for the Champions League. The Foxes, however, must absolutely win against Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men if they want to meet the most beautiful European competition.

Manchester United is playing the final game of a long Premier League campaign knowing that a win or a draw against Leicester City will secure them in next year’s Champions League. It’s ups and downs campaign – in and outside the field – ending Sunday at King Power Stadium. The Reds drew 1-1 on Wednesday against West Ham United, while the Foxes conceded 3-0 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur last Sunday.

The least we can say is that Leicester has not been in the great shape since the restart. In fact, despite an important lead over his chasings after, the 2016 England Champion has dropped from 3rd to 5th place now. An uncomfortable position that would allow Chelsea and Man United to qualify for the Champions League.

Facing, Manchester United is not the same since this restart. Unlike Leicester which is sinking, the Reds are brilliant. Undefeated since January in the league, Pogba’s partners have listed 4 victories (Sheffield, Brighton, Aston Villa Bournemouth) before losing points against Crystal Palace at home (2-2) and recently against West Ham (1-1).

Far from dreaming to be qualified for the Champions League at the end of the first half of the season, Manchester United has completely reversed the trend in recent months. In a series of good results, the Red Devils took the lead in the Premier League, just one day from the end of the season. But nothing has been done yet for Paul Pogba’s teammates! They are one step ahead Leicester City (5th). Having not lost since thirteen championship game days, the Mancunian club will surely be satisfied with one point in this game.

At least Leicester has not been in great shape since the restart. Indeed, despite a considerable lead over his chasings after, the 2016 England Champion has dropped from the 3rd to the 5th place now. An uncomfortable position that would allow Chelsea and Man United to qualify for the Champions League. With only 2 wins (Crystal Palace, Sheffield) in the last 8 game days, Leicester is forced to win this game to qualify for the Champions League. A draw, in case Chelsea loses against Wolverhampton, could satisfy the Foxes nevertheless.

Due to injuries, Leicester looses in strength for the absence of Chilwell, Ricardo Pereira and Maddison and the usual substitutes Amartey, Fuchs and Albrighton. Jamie Vardy is Premier League’s top scorer with 23 achievements.

Manchester United had to deal with the injuries of substitute defenders Jones, Tuanzebe and Bailly. Impressive offensively, the Red Devils should be presented with a quartet composed midfielder Bruno Fernandes and forwards Greenwood, Rashford and Martial. Behind, Paul Pogba shines in the middle.

Talking about rates, you can bet on X2 and the total is less than 3.5 for 1.75 in 1xBet. Most likely, the second half will be more effective than the first. Because it will be essentially a confrontation in the cup. In the first half, opponents will act cautiously. And after the break, when one of them will certainly express the need of scoring, the game should open and there will be more chances.
