Manchester United v Stoke Betting Preview – Premier League 2nd October
Manchester United will be looking to build on their big Premier league success of last weekend, when they tore Leicester apart in a 4-1 win over the reigning champions. That was a much needed response from the Red Devils after a sticky patch of form that they had gone through. The next task for them is facing up to the struggling stoke at Old Trafford on Sunday. The Potters, who have looked a real mess this season, have only taken the two points for the season but one of them did come in a home draw against West Brom last weekend. But is a trip to Old Trafford going to be too much for them to handle?

Manchester United v Stoke Betting Tips
Dropping Wayne Rooney worked wonders for Manchester United last weekend as they blitzed Leicester 4-1 at Old Trafford. That was a much needed win for them and it snapped a two match losing streak that they were on in the Premier League. They have a great chance on Sunday to follow up that victory with another one as they are running in some strong form against the Potters. The Red Devils have won all of their eight previous Premier League games against Stoke at Old Trafford, so you can’t knock that at all. Given the way that Stoke are going at the moment too, this should be a routine victory for the Red Devils. Manchester United are a quote of 20/21 to win to nil and are a price of 3/1 to win by a 2 goals margin.
United are actually unbeaten in their last 16 home games against Stoke in all competitions, winning fifteen of those. They are on a 13 match winning streak at home against the Potters. Will Wayne Rooney feature? United have won five of the last seven in the top flight when he hasn’t started, but he has scored four in his last three at home against toke. Rooney is a 5/4 anytime goalscorer option, with Zlatan Ibrahimovic at 8/11 and Marcus Rashford at even money. While Jose Mouurinho has lost all but one of his last four Premier League matches in October, it’ll be a surprise if he drops this one. The game to go over 2.5 goals will fetch you a price of 13/20. Some good news for United is that in their most recent league title (2012-13), they started the season with four wins and two defeats (as they have this season).
At least Stoke stopped the rot of defeats last weekend when they played out a 1-1 draw with West Brom. They had lost their four top flight games prior to that and have gone D2 L4 from their six Premier League games this season. There’s little sign of a clean sheet coming from them and in each league game this season they have either conceded the one goal or have conceded four. Going forward themselves they have managed just the four goals this season not having managed to score more than one goal in a single match. Given their record at Old Trafford against Manchester United as well, is there really anything running in this game for the Potters?
Well, actually after failing to win any of their first eleven Premier League games against United, Stoke have won two of their last five in a W2 D1 L2 record, but those wins were at home. The Potters have shipped at least two goals in each of their last four visits to Old Trafford in all competitions, a total of twelve shipped in that sequence. So it is likely that they are going to come under some duress again and you can have a wager on over 3.5 goals for the game at a price of 13/8 with online betting site William Hill. Given the way that Stoke’s season has gone, and they have been extremely poor, this could get ugly.

Manchester United v Stoke Predictions
No reason to go against the grain on this one and Manchester United are value for the win, although not in the match outrights. Stoke’s defence has been calamitous and Ibrahimovic is value to get something on the board as he will be a menace in the air. Back United to take this by a two goal winning margin, they should comfortably get over the line in this one. Stoke just have very little to offer and are on a horrible run of form at Old Trafford.
