Burnley are now just three points away from safety in the Premier League. Will they secure a win at Old Trafford against Manchester United, as predicted by our score?
Match Preview
Manchester United secured a 4-2 comeback win over Sheffield United in their recent match. Despite trailing twice, they avoided defeat at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Erik ten Hag, facing rumors of a potential summer departure, still has the chance to guide Man United to Europa League qualification.
This win ended United’s four-game winless streak in the Premier League, following a 3-3 draw against Coventry City in the FA Cup semifinals.
Despite recent struggles, Manchester United remain unbeaten in their last three home league games, including wins over Everton and a draw with Liverpool.
Burnley’s form has significantly improved, with five wins in their last six league games. A victory over United would level them on points with 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.
Thirteen of Burnley’s 23 points this season have come from away matches. They have performed slightly better away from Turf Moor, scoring 20 goals and conceding 32 times on the road.
In the reverse fixture, Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 win with a goal from Bruno Fernandes just before halftime. Burnley dominated possession and outshot United in that match.
Fernandes, with 10 goals, leads Manchester United in scoring, while Lyle Foster and Jacob Bruun Larson have five goals each for Burnley.
Prediction & Analysis:
Despite Burnley’s recent resurgence and United’s inconsistent form, the Red Devils hold a strong record against their opponents, particularly at Old Trafford.
With Bruno Fernandes leading the charge, United is expected to dominate proceedings and secure a convincing victory.
While Burnley’s threat cannot be underestimated, United’s quality and home advantage are likely to tip the scales in their favor.
Our prediction favors Manchester United to emerge victorious with a 3-1 scoreline, reaffirming their pursuit of European football next season.
- Manchester United 3-1 Burnley
