Both Teams to Score
Despite Burnley’s struggles, United have hardly been watertight on the road this season. Under Amorim, they kept just two clean sheets across 24 Premier League away matches, and even against teams in the relegation zone, defensive lapses have been common.
Burnley’s desperation for points should force them to play with greater urgency, particularly at Turf Moor where they have little choice but to attack.
United have seen goals at both ends in eight of their ten away league games this season, and with Fletcher unlikely to immediately transform their defensive structure, backing both teams to score makes sense.
Tip: Both Teams to Score (Yes) @ 7/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Burnley and Manchester United both score at least one goal each.
Over 1.5 Goals
Goals have been a recurring theme in United’s away fixtures, with eight of their ten league trips producing over 2.5 goals, let alone clearing a modest 1.5 line.
Burnley’s defensive record has also been alarming, conceding multiple goals regularly during an 11-game winless run.
The Clarets have trailed at half-time in a joint-league-high ten matches this season, suggesting they are frequently chasing games, which tends to open them up further. With United ranking top of the league for total shots attempted, the ingredients are there for at least two goals in what could become an open contest.
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least two goals scored in the game between Burnley and Manchester United
Matheus Cunha to Play 3+ Shots
Matheus Cunha arrives at Turf Moor in strong form and with a proven track record against newly promoted sides. The Brazilian has been involved in nine goals across his last seven Premier League starts against such opposition, and his confidence appears to be growing after scoring three times in his last five league appearances.
United’s approach under Fletcher is likely to be front-foot as they look for an immediate response, and Cunha’s willingness to shoot early and often should see him heavily involved in the final third.
With Burnley conceding territory and chances regularly, backing Cunha to register 3+ shots looks sensible here with the attacking burden falling on the Brazilian in the absence of Amad Diallo and Bryan Mbeumo.
Tip: Matheus Cunha to Play 3+ Shots @ 11/25
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Matheus Cunha plays at least three shots against Burnley.
