Manchester United vs Liverpool Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 7th April 2024

Much more than mere points are at stake when Manchester United clash in a derby with rivals Liverpool in Premier League this coming Sunday at Old Trafford.

Sitting top of the table, Liverpool claimed 70 points after 30 rounds, while Manchester United have amassed 48 points. This ranks the latter as number 6 in the Premier League before the next round.

Although Manchester United trail after Liverpool by double digits, beating the league leaders in the Premier League still holds a lot of prestige.

The Red Devils are confident they will be scoring goals in their next assignment in the Premier League, as they show off very admirable numbers from their past ten matches. The hosts scored 2.1 goals on average per match, or 21 goals in total, while allowing 17 goals against, for an average of 1.7 per outing. They managed two clean sheets along the way.

Liverpool scored 27 goals, conceded ten and managed two clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Manchester United played The Reds. The pair split the points in a 0-0 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.
