Manchester United v Real Madrid Betting Tips – International Champions Cup, 31 July 5.05pm

Manchester United will round off their International Champions Cup action for the summer with a game against Real Madrid. This hasn’t been a summer of interest for the Red Devils as they have produced less than spectacular results and lost heavily against Liverpool on the weekend. Real Madrid starts their new era with a new manager and without Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United News and Form

Manchester United took on Liverpool on the weekend in the International Champions Cup and suffered a 4-1 loss. Jose Mourinho has been disgruntled at all of this and he has been fielding weakened sides. He really isn’t getting anything out of all this as his main stars involved in the World Cup are all held back on a break. The Red Devils have been busy with pre-season friendly matches but are only D3 L1 so far, a run of unspectacular results. Under 2.5 goals is at 27/20 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on July 29th, 2018 at 11:43 p.m.) for the game and that looks a reasonable option. They opened their ICC account with a 1-1 draw against Milan in a dull affair, winning the subsequent penalty shootout. After this, they get back to Europe but they will play one last friendly before the start of the new season as they face Bayern Munich on August 5th and will probably be stronger for that.

Real Madrid News and Form

Real Madrid are making their introduction into the ICC this summer not having played since their victory over Liverpool in the Champions League final back in May. It is a big summer for Real Madrid after having sold off their talisman Cristiano Ronaldo who brought them so much success. They have been out spending some of that cash in getting forward Vinicius Junior and defender Alvaro Odriozola into the club. But how do to they replace someone like Ronaldo though? How do they transition into a new era? They have a new boss in former Spain manager Julen Lopetegui who has to sort all of this out. Will we see any clues about his plans from his line up in this one? More impetus could rest on the shoulders of Gareth Bale. It is a tough game to call and there is an option of 8/13 on both teams to score at bet365* (Betting Odds were taken on July 29th, 2018 at 11:43 p.m.). Real Madrid will also meet Juventus and Roma in the ICC.
