Manchester United V Stoke Predictions & Betting Odds

Manchester United v Stoke Betting Tips – Premier League 15th January 8.00pm

Manchester United have managed to collect just the one win in their last four Premier League games and it has been a bit of a frustrating time for them. But they have a pretty strong shot at bagging themselves another three points at Old Trafford though as they play host to the struggling Stoke on Monday night. The Potters are in a real mess down in the relegation zone and on a two-match losing streak in the top flight. This is not going to be an easy way evening for them to negotiate either.

Manchester United News and Form

Manchester United have put together a six-match unbeaten streak of form in the Premier League, taking a win in half of those, but only one in their last four. After three straight drawn matches in the top flight, United won 2-0 at Everton on January 1st to get themselves going again and it did leave them with back to back clean sheets in the Premier League. Manchester United have only picked up a W1 D2 L1 record in their last four home league games surprisingly, and have drawn their last two there, getting stifled out of wins by both Burnley and Southampton. That equates to seven lost points in their last four games, still, overall they have gone W8 D2 l1 this season at Old Trafford in the top flight and they haven’t given up much at the back. The Red Devils have shipped only five goals at home this season and Manchester United to win to nil at William Hill returns 10/11 odds* (Betting Odds taken from January 12th, 2018 at 6:11 p.m.). United have averaged over two goals per game this season at Old Trafford and the 2-0 correct score option should have some appeal, therefore. 67% of the goals that United have scored at home this season have been in the second half of matches, while 80% of the goals they have conceded have been in the first half. Romelu Lukaku top scores for them and heads up the anytime and first goalscorer markets.

Stoke News and Form

Stoke are still managerless going into the weekend and whoever comes in will be looking at the Potters with an eye of trepidation. Stoke are just W1 D1 L5 in their last seven games in a horrible run of form that they have posted. They have managed just the one away goal all season and they have picked up just the one point from their last five away games as well. Their main downfall this seasons has been their defence which has been pretty bad throughout the entire season. Away from the Bet365 Stadium, this season Stoke have conceded an average of 2.45 goals per match and they have not recorded a clean sheet in any of their last six fixtures away from home in the Premier League and none in their last twelve overall. They have been having problems going forward as well, as they have scored in just two of their last six outings now. They need a huge shake up, do the Potters. Three of the seven away defeats that they have suffered this season have been by a margin of at least four goals. Six of the twelve defeats they have take overall this season have been by at least three goals. They may be on a hiding to nothing, as in their last two games against top six sides, they have conceded five goals against both Chelsea and Tottenham. Both teams not to score at William Hill will probably be the way to swing.

Manchester United v Stoke Head to Head

Manchester United were frustrated in a 2-2 draw at Stoke earlier this season and each of the last three Premier League meetings between the two of them have ended in a tie. Manchester United are unbeaten in four against the Potters in the top flight but if you look at the last five between them it is all even with one win each and three draws. Manchester United have won eight of their nine previous Premier League home games against Stoke (D1).
