Leicester vs Manchester United: preview, free tip and statistics
15.10.2021 10:00
The highlight of Saturday's round of the English top-flight will surely be the Champions League clash of Leicester, who will welcome title-hungry Manchester United to their stadium.
Background information, news and team form
Leicester certainly had a much better start to the new season in England's top competition. After a great last season, when the Foxes lost their participation in the millionaire competition by just one point behind London Chelsea in the last round, Leicester is now 13th in the table with eight points. Although Leicester did manage to win the English Super Cup against Guardiola's Manchester City at the start of the season after a 1-0 win, and in the following first tough game of the season against Wolves with the same result. But after these games, the Foxes' form was already fluctuating and there were some tough games like the 4-1 loss at West Ham or the 2-1 loss to Brighton. Moreover, Leicester started to lose points on their home ground as well, for example, they drew 2-2 with Burnley, who are expected to fight for relegation. If Brandan Rogers' charges want to continue to think about the European Cup, the English manager must quickly find a recipe for the declining form of last season's Fa Cup holders. The Red Devils finally managed to complete the transfer of Jadon Sancho from Dortmund in the summer, and in addition to his arrival, other big names like Raphael Varane, who is expected to help strengthen United's defensive ranks, and of course the return of Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, who in turn is expected to help the Red Devils' offensive actions. Despite these huge summer signings, the performances of the Manchester Reds have been very fluctuating. One week, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's charges manage to overpower West Ham on their soil 1-2 and then drop out in the following EFL Cup match. The completely unbalanced form is also confirmed by the 0-1 loss to Aston Villa at home or the loss and red card at the ground of Swiss champions Young Boys from Bern. Fans are expecting at least one trophy and an assault on the English Premier League title from the Norwegian pilot this season, should that not happen, the wobbly chair under the Norwegian coach could quickly buckle.
Betdoin's view of the match
The home side go into this match as outsiders at odds of 3.58. A draw is available at bookmakers at odds of 3.62. The bookmakers are favouring the away side United at odds of 2.13. The goal line for this match is written at the classic over of 2.5. Our clever Betdoin algorithm sees value for this match because of the low goal line written in the over bets. Both teams are showing off very good offensive actions and on the other hand, their defences are very unstable. If both teams push through the over should not be a problem.
Absentees and estimated line-ups
The Foxes could see the return of Johnny Evans, who although he missed the Northern Ireland games, is already training with the team but will continue to miss the injured Wesley Fofana, James Justin and Wilfred Ndidi. As far as Manchester United are concerned, Raphael Varane will certainly miss out due to groin problems and Harry Maquire who has a calf problem. A question mark hangs over the start of Fred and Cavani, who both represent their countries at the South American championship.
Leicester - estimated line-up:
Schmeichel - Pereira, Evans, Soyuncu, Bertrand - Lookman, Soumare, Tielemans, Barnes - Vardy, Iheanacho
Manchester United - estimated line-up:
De Gea - Wan-Bissaka, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw - McTominay, Pogba - Greenwood, Fernandes, Sancho - Ronaldo
