The English “El Classico” will happen on the upcoming Sunday at Old Trafford stadium, where Manchester United will host Liverpool. The future competitors are approaching the game in different conditions. Man Utd have gotten the pace. The team only wins lately, both at home and away. As for Liverpool, they are having troubles with their shape, plus there are some squad troubles.
The main goal for Mourinho’s team for the season is to finish in top-four strongest teams in the EPL. Man Utd are currently on the sixth position in the peloton, three points away from the desired position. The Devils have had 10 matches at home within EPL, in which they got five victories, four encounters ended in a draw, and only once did Man Utd lost, which happened on 10th September, the offenders being Manchester City.
Liverpool perform quite good in away matches this season. Out of eleven matches, the Reds have six victories with three draws and two defeats, 21 points gained, the same as Manchester City, and only Chelsea have better away statistics. But Liverpool have troubles too, primarily regarding squad options. Mané has flown away to play in the African Cup, Milner, Henderson are injured and Coutinho has just recovered from injury and haven’t gained the required conditions yet.
Manchester United might not be showing some super football, but due to a large number of individually strong players, the Devils score and win regularly. Besides, Man Utd’s defense is one of the best in the league. Liverpool are not the same, as they were a few weeks before and even a draw in Manchester will be a great result for the Reds.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
