Manchester United v West Brom Betting Preview – Premier League 1st April 3.00pm

This probably isn’t going to be a particularly comfortable game for the Red Devils who have lost two of their last three at home against the Baggies. Mourinho’s men though are on a big streak of unbeaten form in the league but just before the international break, West Brom went out and put a convincing 3-1 win on the board against Arsenal. Can they upset the Red Devils too?

Manchester United v West Brom Betting Tips

Manchester United are currently riding an excellent 18 match unbeaten streak of form in the top flight, so naturally are going to be hard to pick off, especially on home soil. But they have only produced a W1 D3 record in their last four games at Old Trafford in the Premier League. The Red Devils won 2-0 at the Hawthorns back in December, but they have suffered defeat in two of their last three league home games against the Baggies. That was after going unbeaten in their previous seven against them at Old Trafford. Those two defeats aside, Manchester United have taken a clean sheet in three of the last five against West Brom. Manchester United to win to nil at Bet365 is trading at a price of 20/21. Only two of United’s last eleven home games have featured three goals or more so under 2.5 goals has to offer some value here at a price of 19/20. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is still suspended, but Wayne Rooney has seven goals in his last 10 against West Brom and he is an 11/8 anytime goalscorer option, with Marcus Rashford as 6/5 favourite. United have gone W6 D7 L1 at home this season.

Will the Baggies cause another upset at Old Trafford? They impressively took down Arsenal just before the international break, taking their current form to a W3 D2 L2 record in their last seven, so they aren’t in bad form. It should be noted though that the four wins in that sequence were all at the Hawthorns and they have claimed just the one victory in their last eight league away games. To be fair they aren’t doing too badly in front of goal and both teams to score at Bet365 is a price of 6/5 which may be worth a flutter. The big attacking threat from the Baggies really will come through set pieces, where they excel. West Brom have scored more goals from defenders (12) than any other Premier League team this season. Just to highlight that, Craig Dawson has scored three of their last five league goals. Salomon Rondon is their shortest priced anytime goalscorer option at 10/3. A point out of this would be something of a victory for them, and they will have to battle hard for that with just the one clean sheet collected in their last seven league games.

Manchester United v West Brom Predictions

Draw: This will be a low scoring game most likely and with their success there recently, the Baggies can probably stick in there for a draw as United have drawn three of their last four home games. West Brom’s win over Arsenal last time out will have filled them with confidence.
