Southampton v Manchester United 17:30
Two struggling sides, for slightly different reasons, meet in Saturday 5:30pm clash this week as Southampton, who go into week 14 fourth from bottom, host Manchester United, who should really be doing better than the 21 points (from 39) they’ve got so far.
The match betting suggests Man Utd will get back on track here with 3 points as they are 1.83, with the Draw 3.75 and Southampton 4.00.
United also took 4 points off Southampton last term and won this fixture 0-1 – if you fancy that scoreline again, you’ll be rewarded at 8.00.
In fact, Southampton haven’t scored against United in the league for the last two seasons! Therefore, a clean sheet for the visitors at 2.62 might appeal too.
We have, however, seen 4 draws in the last 10 clashes, but if you are expecting goals then you might be disappointed as ALL of the last five head-to-heads went UNDER 2.5 GOALS – this can be backed at 1.90.
Other key trends to note are that both teams have scored in 5 of the last 7 repeat fixtures, but with United unbeaten in their last seven away games at the Saints then it might be better to not overcomplicate this one and just side with a Man Utd win.
BEST BET: MAN UTD TO WIN @1.83
