Liverpool vs. Manchester United picks and predictions
Prediction
Liverpool 2, Manchester United 0
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
Liverpool didn't look great against Crystal Palace last weekend despite coming out on top and lost their midweek Champions League match at home.
However, they have been terrific at home, and there's no real reason to believe United will be able to keep pace, especially considering how they have looked over the past few weeks.
At -300, Liverpool is far too expensive to play to outright win though. Ultimately, avoid a moneyline play.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET UNDER 3.5 (-110).
Man U hasn't had a dynamic offense this season, averaging just over a goal per game. They have scored multiple goals in just 2 of their last 7 matches and has allowed more than 1 goal in just 1 of their last 6. They have allowed 2 or more goals in just 2 of their last 11 games. Their defense has been solid, boasting 2 clean sheets in their last 3 road games.
Liverpool's offense has been hot, but they are still led on the backline by D Virgil van Djik, one of the best in the world. Liverpool has gone Under this total in 7 of their last 8 games. They have gone Under this in 4 of 7 home matches.
Considering the trends for both teams, take UNDER 3.5 (-110). And you might want to consider something on the alternative UNDER 2.5 (+210) for a chance to double up.
