Manchester United vs. Liverpool Prediction, Odds & Match Preview

  • Manchester United is predicted to be a +0.5-goal underdog against Liverpool.
  • Liverpool has failed to win three straight at Old Trafford.
  • I predict Liverpool earns all three points against United on Sunday.

Itโ€™s the marquee Premier League fixture for Matchday 3: Manchester United vs. Liverpool at Old Trafford.ย 

These teams enter Sundayโ€™s match off different results. United fell 2-1 to Brighton on Saturday, while Liverpool captured a 2-0 home win against Brentford.ย 

Old Trafford hasnโ€™t been kind to Liverpool recently. Theyโ€™ve failed to win three straight in all competitions after capturing two straight wins in Manchester.ย 

Hereโ€™s a look at the Premier League odds and my prediction for Sundayโ€™s match.ย 

Manchester United vs. Liverpool Odds, Premier League

  • Manchester United Moneyline: +270
  • Liverpool Moneyline: -120
  • Draw Moneyline: +300
  • Over/Under: 3.5 Goals (+100/-135)
  • Both Teams to Score: Yes (-250), No (+170)

Manchester United vs. Liverpool Prediction: Moneyline

My prediction for Sundayโ€™s fixture is the Liverpool Moneyline (-120).ย 

The last meeting ended 2-2, but it was clear as day Liverpool played better.ย 

Expected goals finished 3.7 to 0.7 in the visitorโ€™s favor. Remove Mo Salahโ€™s penalty, and Liverpool still posted a +2.2 non-penalty xGDiff, per fotmob.com.ย 

That marked the second straight draw in this series, with the first meeting last season finishing 0-0. However, Liverpool won the xG battle 2.4-0.75 and the psxG battle 1.44-0.1.ย 

Timing should also be considered for those matches, with Liverpool playing both on short rest.ย 

Arne Slotโ€™s side also matches two historically profitable betting systems.ย 

Since 2012, favorites priced between -250 and -103 in games 2-10 are 81% SU, assuming three factors:

  • The opponentโ€™s previous game margin is between -8 and -1
  • The previous head-to-head result is between +0 and +4
  • The previous game the opponent was the underdog

Even at -150 or shorter, teams are still 33-13 SU.ย 

One more: favorites shorter than -230 in games 1-20 that closed a favorite in their last game are 68.1% SU, assuming two factors:

  • The opponentโ€™s previous game margin is between -4 and -1
  • The previous head-to-head result was +0 or +1

When those teams are coming off a win, theyโ€™re 69.1% SU. Off a win against a team that was an underdog: 51-21 SU.ย 

For those reasons, expect Liverpool to end their winless run at Old Trafford and to capture all three points.ย
