  • Manchester United is a -1.5-goal home favorite against Everton.
  • Manchester United has won eight of its last nine EPL home matches following a draw.
  • My Manchester United vs. Everton prediction is the Everton moneyline.

For their second match under new manager Ruben Amorim, Manchester United hosts Everton at Old Trafford.ย 

The Red Devils played to a 1-1 draw at Ipswich Town in Amorimโ€™s debut and followed it with a 3-2 midweek win in the Europa League. Currently, United sits 12th in the league table.ย 

Evertonโ€™s last result in the league proved a 0-0 draw vs. Brentford, despite the Toffees playing with a man advantage. As it stands, Everton sit two points clear from safety.ย

Manchester United vs. Everton Prediction

Based on Evertonโ€™s strong results against Manchester United last season and their rest advantage, my Manchester United vs. Everton prediction is the Everton Moneyline (+475).ย 

Donโ€™t let Unitedโ€™s 5-0 differential over Everton last year fool you: This fixture played incredibly close based on underlying metrics.ย 

So much of Unitedโ€™s success came via the penalty spot. From open play, though, Everton dominated both fixtures.ย 

At home, Sean Dycheโ€™s squad posted a +1.04 non-penalty xGDiff compared to a -2 non-penalty goal differential.ย 

At Old Trafford, Everton won the non-penalty xG battle 1.6-1.15, with the Toffees surrendering both goals from penalty kicks.ย 

The Toffees are finally healthy in defense and carry a rest advantage over Manchester United, who played on Thursday at home.ย 

Itโ€™s also a nice sell-high spot on United, which played to a lucky draw at Ipswich Town last weekend.ย 

The match finished 1-1, but Ipswich recorded a 1.6-0.8 edge on expected goals and a 1.7-1.1 edge on post-shot expected goals, per fotmob.com.ย 

Everton also fits the historical profile of a team that wins outright in this spot.ย 

Since 2012, dogs between +203 and +961 in August, November, December or May are 30% SU, assuming three factors:

  • The underdog lost the previous head-to-head meeting
  • The underdogโ€™s previous game margin is -1 or 0
  • The favoriteโ€™s previous game margin falls between -1 and +2

Over the last three seasons, those underdogs are 14-21 SU, including 6-4 SU this year for a 212% return on investment.ย 

Take a shot on the Everton moneyline as a result.
