Man United vs Chelsea Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Best Bet Builder Picks

Manchester United and Chelsea both head into Saturday night’s Premier League clash on the back of humbling defeats.

United lost 3-0 at neighbours Manchester City last weekend, while Chelsea were beaten 3-1 by Bayern Munich upon their return to the Champions League on Wednesday.

An absence of European football means United have had almost a full week to prepare for this game, while Chelsea only returned to England early on Thursday morning.

Those factors make 9/5 look like an attractive price for a United win — a result desperately needed by Ruben Amorim, who could otherwise soon be facing the sack.

However, the best football betting sites all make Chelsea favourites. A Blues win can be backed at 6/4, while the draw is available at 14/5.

Man United vs Chelsea betting tips

Manchester United’s start to the season has not been great. However, they gave Arsenal a good test on the opening weekend and beat Burnley in their only other home game so far.

United’s main problem this season has been finishing their chances. They have only scored four goals in their first four league games, despite having an xG score of 8.46.

That issue will surely fix itself before long, especially if Bryan Mbeumo can keep getting into good positions. Mbeumo registered four shots against City, having recorded three against Burnley and five against Arsenal.

I think this could be a big weekend for United — 9/5 is a tasty price — and Mbeumo. He is going to be my FPL captain and I think odds of 5/2 in the Anytime Goalscorer market are tempting. Mbeumo is 17/2 to score first, while you can back him at 7/5 to score or assist.

Man United vs Chelsea: Correct Score prediction

According to the bookies’ odds, the most likely results are a 1-1 draw (7/1) and a 2-1 Chelsea win (9/1).

However, I have a really strong feeling for United. The Red Devils, who have yet to keep a clean sheet this season, are 10/1 to win 2-1. Meanwhile, a 3-1 home win is 20/1. I think both are very possible, but I’d lean towards the latter for value.
