Manchester United win with handicap (-1)
Manchester United win with handicap (-1)
Manchester United scored the same number of points as Newcastle, but lost to them in the 3rd row of the table in additional indicators. With a probability of 85.3% (according to Opta), Erika ten Haga’s team will fall to the Champions League zone at the end of the season.
It is worth noting that the Red Devils impress with their home form. They are on a 13-match unbeaten streak and recently lost to Brighton (1-2) in the first round. The key defensive midfielder Casemiro will return to the squad in the upcoming match. Without him, Manchester United lost 4 out of 9 matches, and with him – 3 out of 20.
Everton are battling to keep their home in England’s elite division. Under the leadership of Sean Dyche, the Toffees bet on cohesion, a rigid structure and a tight defense. Under the new coach, the team creates an average of 1.23 xg per game, with 1.64 xg allowed.
In the last 4 rounds, the team does not lose, or rather, due to banal luck.
Given the number of expected goals scored, Everton hardly deserved to score so many points.
Casemiro’s return will allow Manchester United to significantly improve their midfield balance. I think the favorite will take another win and extend their unbeaten streak.
