Goal Fest on the Cards at Old Trafford

Goal Fest on the Cards at Old Trafford

Man Utd certainly haven’t started the season as they expected. Solskjaer’s men occupy 15th place in the Premier League table but have played one game fewer than most of the division.

Nevertheless, the Norwegian manager finds himself under increasing pressure following the manner of his side’s defeats in their opening two home games against Crystal Palace and Tottenham.

Forebet is expecting Saturday’s clash to provide plenty of goalmouth action as both teams score and concede a lot of goals. Man Utd have scored 15-goals in their opening six games in all competitions, conceding 12.

Both teams have scored in four of Man Utd’s last six matches heading into the Champions League tie with PSG. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in all of those six games, with three of their last four outings producing over 4.5 goals.

The hosts do, at least, have a good recent record against Chelsea, winning four of the duo’s last six encounters. However, the last time the pair locked horns, for an FA Cup tie in July, Chelsea ran out 3-1 winners. Three of the side’s last five meetings have ended with both teams scoring and three of their last four matches have produced over 2.5 goals.

Chelsea sit seven positions above Man Utd in the Premier League table, but there are only 2pts between them. This means that the visitors could drop a significant number of places if they were to lose and results elsewhere went against them.

However, Chelsea have looked strong on the road this season and haven’t lost on their travels in any 90-minute matches (lost on penalties in the League Cup to Tottenham following a 1-1 draw).

Both teams have scored in three of Chelsea’s last four matches heading into their midweek Champions League clash with Sevilla. Over 2.5 goals have been produced in four of Chelsea’s last five outings.

The visitors have scored 17-goals in their last six games in all competitions and have conceded 9-goals. Both Many Utd and Chelsea have only managed to keep two clean sheets apiece in their last six attempts.

Both teams have been finding the back of the net on a regular basis and haven’t kept many clean sheets. A bet on both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is backed up by the stats and seems like the most valid selection.
