LiontipsManchester United vs Burnley. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (December 30, 2021).
Command Analysis
Manchester United are having two contrasting campaigns in the Premier League and in the Champions League this season. In the main European tournament, Man United earned 10 points from 3 victories and a draw and finished the group stage on the 1st line.
The Red Devils were off to a good start in the Premier League, but later they lost focus and suffered several defeats in a row which eventually led to the sacking of Ole Gunnar Solskjær and the appointment of Ralf Rangnick as the new head coach for MU.
After 17 rounds, the United team are in 7th place in the standings with 28 points scored from 8 victories and 4 draws. The attacking performance of the hosts is unimpressive considering the fact that they have such a star as Cristiano Ronaldo in their ranks. Ronaldo has scored 7 goals in this season.
Manchester United looked colourless in their latest outings. After a narrow win over Norwich (1-0), they barely got a point against Newcastle (1-1).
Lindeloftested positive for COVID-19 and was ruled out. Pogba andMartial are injured, and Fernandesis currently suspended.
This year, Burnley looked impressive in the first rounds of the League Cup but the team couldn't pass Tottenham in the Round of 16. As for the Premier League, the visitors are struggling to stay afloat. Sean Dyche's men are currently in 18th place in the log with only 11 points from one victory and 8 draws.
The Claretshave the second worst attack in the league and average under one goal per game. In the last 5 rounds of the Premier League, Burnley chalked up four points: they drew with Chelsea (1-1), Crystal Palace (3-3), Wolverhampton (0-0) and West Ham (0-0). They also lost to Newcastle (0-1) away.
Burnley will be playing without Cornet and Barnes, who are both injured. Roberts and Stephens are recovering after COVID-19 and will also miss the game.

Tip and bets
The visitors recorded 4 draws in the last 5 rounds, but their attack is too weak and doesn't allow them to climb out of the relegation zone. Manchester United are undergoing major changes in their team, but nevertheless, they are the strong favourites in this match. We are predicting a confident victory for the Red Devils.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1.5) to Manchester United
We think that Ralf Rangnick won't risk experimenting with the line-up, like he did in the last round - the risks didn't pay off, and MU almost lost to Newcastle. The Red Devils won 3 out of 4 latest head-to-head games with a margin of two goals, but today we expect the hosts to win with a crushing score, as they will be looking to redeem themselves for poor performance against the Magpies and finish the year 2021 on a positive note.
Second wager - Manchester United to win by 3 goals
