Manchester United - Burnley match score prediction: Rain of goals at Old Trafford

(NLDO) - The determination to hunt for an early season victory will push Manchester United to attack aggressively and score many goals when hosting newcomer Burnley at Old Trafford.

Coach Amorim hopes that the duo of Mbeumo and Cunha will help overcome the crisis.

Manchester United are under immense pressure after failing to win their first three games of the season, so they will be showing great determination as they host Burnley at 9 PM on Saturday (August 30).

Manchester United began their Premier League campaign with a 0-1 defeat to Arsenal, followed by a 1-1 draw with Fulham at the weekend.

However, their performance seemed far better than the result, and it's reasonable to believe that Bruno Fernandes and his teammates need to regain their form and pride after their midweek League Cup defeat to fourth-division side Grimby Town (11-12 on penalties).

With both Lisandro Martinez and Noussair Mazraoui unavailable due to injury for the home side, and Garnacho having moved to Chelsea, Manchester United still had enough depth in their squad to overwhelm newly promoted Burnley.

After their 0-3 defeat to Tottenham, The Clarets quickly bounced back with a 2-0 victory over Sunderland in front of their home fans. Burnley were considered an easy opponent, and experts believed they were unlikely to spoil Manchester United's party at the "Theatre of Dreams".

The problem with this match is that Burnley are not afraid of Manchester United – the struggling giants – so they will open the game to attack, playing on equal terms, believing this is a rare opportunity to stir up Old Trafford. If they continue to believe that the Red Devils are out of form, Burnley will certainly pay the price.

Former player Chris Sutton predicts Manchester United will win 1-0. But Arsenal legend Paul Merson insists the Red Devils will win convincingly 3-1.

Prediction: Manchester Utd - Burnley 3-1

The name Manchester United no longer excites many fans, but the odds for the match were surprisingly low, with the home team favored by 1.5 goals, winning at 82, and losing at full cost. Even more surprising was that after two days, the market shifted towards the home team, resulting in the Red Devils being favored by 1.5 goals, winning at full cost, and losing at 85.

The bookmakers revealed that 62% of the bets were placed on the home team, while Burnley received only 38%. However, insiders suggest that discerning bettors only put down money at the last minute and won't bet on the favorite. Nevertheless, betting on the favorite is still more fun.

The most favored score remains 2-0 with odds of 6.3, while 1-0 pays 6.7. Surprisingly, 2-1 has significantly higher odds at 8.8, and 3-0 pays 8.3. These figures suggest that people believe the match will not have many goals (perhaps because the Over/Under odds are set at 2.5 to 3 goals). A draw is also surprising, with 1-1 odds at 9.2, while 0-0 pays 14.
