Venue: Old Trafford

Manchester United and Leicester City are set to face off in an eagerly anticipated FA Cup clash on Friday evening. The fixture is expected to deliver a thrilling contest as both teams battle for a place in the next round of this prestigious tournament. In this Manchester United vs Leicester City preview, we analyse the form, head-to-head record, and key betting insights to provide the most accurate predictions and tips.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Betting Tips

Our Manchester United vs Leicester City betting tips point towards a home victory for the Red Devils. Rúben Amorim’s men have shown impressive form, securing four wins in their last five matches, including a crucial 1-0 triumph over Fulham. With a well-balanced squad and a strong defensive unit, Manchester United are favourites to progress in this FA Cup encounter.

Leicester City, managed by Ruud van Nistelrooy, come into this fixture on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 away win against Tottenham Hotspur. However, their overall inconsistency and recent head-to-head record against United suggest they will struggle at Old Trafford. Given Manchester United’s attacking prowess and Leicester City’s vulnerability at the back, we predict goals at both ends but ultimately a home win.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Match Prediction

Our Manchester United vs Leicester City prediction is a 2-1 victory for the home side. United have displayed solid defensive discipline, conceding only three goals in their last five matches while scoring eight. Leicester City, on the other hand, have leaked goals, conceding eight in the same period.

Despite Leicester’s counter-attacking style, Manchester United’s ability to dominate possession and create goal-scoring opportunities should see them take control of this fixture. Expect an intense battle in midfield, with United’s quality shining through in the latter stages of the game.

Match Prediction: Manchester United to win. Bet with bet365.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Correct Score Tips & Prediction

For our Manchester United vs Leicester City score prediction, we anticipate a 2-1 result in favour of the home team. Given Manchester United’s defensive solidity and Leicester City’s recent struggles in attack, a low-scoring affair is likely.

However, with United’s attacking talent, including Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford, breaking down Leicester’s defence should not be an issue. Leicester are capable of finding the net, but their defensive frailties could cost them dearly.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Manchester United. Bet with bet365.

Manchester United vs Leicester City Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Our Manchester United vs Leicester City Over/Under goals prediction leans towards over 2.5 goals in the match. Manchester United have been efficient in front of goal, and Leicester City tend to concede frequently, making a high-scoring game a strong possibility.

Recent head-to-head encounters have also seen Manchester United dominate, scoring at least two goals in four of their last five meetings with Leicester. While Leicester’s defensive setup aims to frustrate opponents, United’s attacking quality should lead to an entertaining fixture with multiple goals.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
