Burnley vs Man United Betting Tips and Odds

Bet365 have the following odds available for this match:

Burnley are at 6/1 to win, a draw is at 14/5, and a Manchester United win is at ½.

Burnley will enter this match in seventh place. They have remained there for some time now, but they are in danger of falling out of it soon if they do not turn around the form they are in. They are looking out of the running for European places for sure now, but they are very much safe in the league. Goals are hard to come by for them with only 19 scored. Manchester United will enter this match still in second place in the Prem after their comfortable win over Stoke on Monday. The Red Devils dominated the match and strolled to remain above a hungry chasing pack that includes Chelsea, Liverpool, and Spurs now for those coveted UCL spots.

At home, Burnley have suffered of late. They have lost three of their last five now at Turf Moor and have only registered eight total goals. That is an issue that has to be addressed, and facing a Mourinho team will not be the greatest of times for them in that regard. The Red Devils have been very good away from home this term. They have lost just twice outside of Old Trafford, and they have won four of their last five without losing any of those now. They have a total of 21 points from their travels so far, and they will expect to add to that in this match.

A no for both teams to score, via Ladbrokes, is at 6/10.

Burnley vs Man United Prediction

The Clarets have experienced a downturn in form of late that is only natural, and that draw at Old Trafford might end up being their high tide for the season. United get the win at Turf Moor to stay second.

Correct Score Prediction: Burnley 0-2 Manchester United

Team News

Sean Dyche is missing goalkeeping Tom Heaton, left back Stephen Ward, midfielders Scott Arfield and Robbie Brady, and striker Chris Wood due to injuries.

Key Man

It has been an ugly run of form of late for the Clarets, but they are still far above the expectations that anyone could have set for them. Ashley Barnes remains a danger man to keep an eye. The tough-nosed striker is a nightmare for defenders in this age as he is combative and just hard to keep down for too long. He can score very tough goals as well as skillful ones, so he's a man to watch here.

Team Form

Burnley have three losses and two draws in their last five matches:

1-0 loss at Crystal Palace
4-1 loss at Manchester City (FA Cup)
1-2 home loss vs Liverpool
0-0 draw at Huddersfield
2-2 draw at Manchester United

Burnley Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Team News

Jose Mourinho is missing Zlatan up front along with center back Eric Bailly and center midfielder Michael Carrick due to injuries.

Key Man

The heart of the United attack comes from the center of the pitch and their true star man Paul Pogba. The Frenchman has been outstanding when he hasn't been injured or suspended, and he came up with two assists, on United's first two goals, on Monday night to help down the directionless Potters. Pogba has incredible range, strength, and skill, and he clearly benefits- along with the team- when he is free to operate further forward.

Team Form

United have three wins and two draws in their last five matches:

3-0 home win vs Stoke
2-0 home win vs Derby County (FA Cup)
0-2 win at Everton
0-0 home draw vs Southampton
2-2 home draw vs Burnley

Manchester United Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-2-3-1

Burnley have suffered a real dip in form, and it should come as no real surprise given their relative lack of options and the number of injuries they have had. Jose Mourinho will complain about his much louder than Sean Dyche ever would, but it's a fact, and it should help United get a win this time around over the Clarets after last month's draw.

Burnley are winless in their last five matches in all competitions.
