Manchester United – Leicester betting tip, prediction & odds 10/30/2024

EFL Cup, round of 16, Wednesday, 10/30/2024 at 8:45 p.m.

Sacked! Erik ten Hag had to vacate his post as head coach of Manchester United. It has not yet been determined who will succeed him. Ruud van Nistelrooy will take over the reins on an interim basis, having previously worked as an assistant coach under ten Hag.

He will play his first competitive game in his new role in the EFL Cup game against the Foxes on Wednesday. In my Manchester United Leicester betting tip, I expect a spectacle and go for the classic bet “Over 2.5 goals” at Winamax.

One win in the last eight games, the Red Devils need a change. Ten Hag was released on Monday, two days before the EFL Cup match against Leicester City. Before that, ManU lost 2-1 to West Ham in the Premier League.

It was their fourth game without a win in a row of five games at Premier League level. Internationally, things have also been sluggish, with three draws from three games in the Europa League. The problems at such a traditional club are many and varied.

I’m not really optimistic that it will be enough to get past Leicester City, even though the team should be clearly superior to the promoted team on paper.

However, Manchester is the clear favorite with odds of around 1.35 at the oddsmakers Betano and Co. Leicester’s win odds (8.00) are close to double digits, and you get 5.25 for a draw.

Regarding the match outcome, I only find the “double chance X2” at 3.10 interesting. The hosts are in the midst of a transition, the defense is sometimes wild and only four goals have been scored in the last four games.

Their self-confidence is also not at its peak after the miserable results in recent weeks. The only clean sheet since mid-September was in the away game against Aston Villa (0-0).

So, of course, I’m looking at the odds for at least one Leicester goal, which are great at 1.66 at Oddset, with 1.82 for both teams to score.

I find the bet interesting because the guests have scored in every Premier League match so far, and club icon Jamie Vardy is still in good form, who also made my betting friends prediction come true with his goal in the last league game against Nottingham.

I advised you to bet on 1-2 Leicester goals, the 2016 English champions lost 1-3, suffered a setback after two wins, and are now ranked 15th in the table.

The 17 goals conceded in nine games are bad, but at the same time, the Foxes have scored the most goals in the lower half of the table.

ManU are only one place higher in the table with two points more than the Premier League returnees, but with eight goals scored, they have the third-weakest offense, although with 177 attempts on goal, ManU are among the teams that create the most chances.

At the same time, however, there is a lack of conversion, with just 4.5 percent of balls finding their way into the goal; only Crystal Palace is even more wasteful in the top flight.

Oddset has two odds boosts ready for the EFL Cup game. The first is the halftime final score bet with the option Manchester United/Manchester United at 2.05 and the second offered variant is that Rasmus Hojlund scores the first goal of the game.

Those who bet on the change of coach effect could have found a suitable one with the first quote, significantly more lucrative than the 1.36 for the hosts’ victory over 90 minutes.

I am primarily expecting a turbulent game. Manchester United want to show a reaction to the defeat and secure the victory at home. At the same time, like Leicester, the Red Devils repeatedly stumble when playing against the ball.

According to “Expected Goals against”, both teams are high up the list, which also speaks in favor of both teams scoring, and ultimately for at least three goals in the game.

For at least three goals, Winamax offers a 1.52. There is also a 15 euro no deposit bonus waiting for you, as well as a 100 euro freebet credit for a 100 euro deposit.

The advantage I see in the over 2.5 goals is the cover for significantly more results, all of United’s clean sheets would be covered, and I certainly don’t want to rule out a 3-0 or 4-0 win after the restructuring of the team management.

The last duel in Manchester would have been the right choice, because ManU won 3-0, followed a little later by Leicester’s relegation to the Championship.

Conclusion: The statistics show that neither Manchester United nor Leicester are the defensive great powers of England.

Offensively, however, both teams are well positioned. The hosts play out many chances, only use too few. With the guests Vardy in particular continues to take pictures regularly.

First and foremost, I’m expecting a game in which the hosts are ahead of the game from the first minute to a reaction after the defeat against West Ham. Before especially the attack has some catching up to do after four goals in four games.

At the same time, counter-attack opportunities should present themselves for the Foxes. With a few rotations to be expected, I expect a turbulent EFL Cup match!
