Command Analysis
Burnley
Current form
Burnley has won the Premier League for 11 rounds. The bet on reliable defense does not justify itself, yet the level of rivals is much higher than it was in the Championship. So, in the last round, the Maroon played away with Brighton, acted defensively, the opponent owned the ball 60% of the playing time and realized two of his few chances (2:0). Scott Parker's team has 12 points, 19th place in the relegation zone, and the gap from the saving 17th line is six points.

Amdouni, Beyer, Cullen, Roberts, Esteve, Worrall and Flemming are injured. Tuanzebe and Foster are in the national team.

Manchester United
Current form
In the last two rounds, Manchester United played against Premier League outsiders Wolverhampton and Leeds. Both matches ended in a draw with the same score of 1:1. After such results, the management dismissed Ruben Amorim. Darren Fletcher will be acting head coach for now. In general, the recent results of the Mancunians do not please the fans: there is only one victory in the previous five rounds. By the start of Round 21, Manchester United is in sixth place. In terms of the fight for the Champions League, nothing has been lost yet: the gap from the top 4 is three points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Maguire, de Ligt, Mainu, B. Fernandes and Mount are injured. Mazraoui, Diallo and Mbemo are in the national team.
Interesting betting trends
In seven of the last eight matches involving the Mancunians, an exchange of goals was recorded.
No more than three goals have been scored in seven of Manchester United's previous nine Premier League matches.
Burnley is not up to the Premier League in terms of level of play and composition, quite naturally it occupies the penultimate place in the table, in the previous two rounds it lost to Newcastle and Brighton without much chance. It's hard to judge what Manchester United will show today without Ruben Amorim. However, when choosing a bet, we will start from the level of the squad, from the tangible advantage in the class of the red Devils. In the first round, they beat the Maroons at home, and we expect them to be able to handle them on the road.
Our prediction is that Manchester United will win by a factor of 1.68
Defensively, Manchester United are vulnerable, they have failed to score in nine of the last ten matches, and the hosts will clearly have a chance to excel. At the same time, the Mancunians have a decent selection of performers in attack, Burnley's not the most reliable defense is unlikely to win back to zero. We expect in the betting tip that the rivals will exchange goals scored.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.72
Betting on corners
On the corners, we note a promising trend based on personal meetings. In six of the eight previous face-to-face meetings in the Premier League, more than nine innings from the corner flag were not played at Burnley field. Accordingly, another bet suggests itself.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is less than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.95
xG (from English "expected goals" translates as "expected goals") is the sum of the probabilities of scoring chances, a mathematical value calculated taking into account the parameters of potential scoring chances, which include shots on goal and dangerous moments without finishing shots.
