Red Devils vs. The Blues: Which Team Will Win?

Asides the El Clasico, one of the biggest games of the weekend is the clash between Manchester United and Chelsea. A long-standing rivalry between two of England’s biggest sides will play out right before our eyes this weekend.

And there’s plenty to look out for – and also bet on.

Manchester United

It’s not every day you see Manchester United ranked 15^th on the Premier League log. However, the Red Devils have had a very strange start to their football season. After four games played, the Solskjaer’s side has yet to draw a game. However, they have lost two and won two.

A 2-1 win over PSG has now seen them win two of their last two, scoring six goals and conceding two goals. Speaking of conceding, Manchester United have conceded at least one goal in five of their last seven games.

United’s games have not been short of goals this season. None of their games this season, across all competitions, has had less than three goals scored. The same cannot be said about Chelsea.

Chelsea

Frank Lampard’s Blues have now drawn their last two games. Before their goalless draw against Sevilla, Chelsea succumbed to a last-minute Southampton as they squandered their early lead over the Saints. Although they have scored seven goals in their last three games, they have only won once.

Eighth on the table, Chelsea have played one game more than their opponent in this clash. But they are only two points above them. With 13 goals scored in five league games, they are one of the league’s top scorers.

Red Devils vs. The Blues: The History

Ole Gunar Solskjaer and Frank Lampard will be managing sides in a game that they have plenty of experience playing in. The club legends now have to find a way for their teams to pick maximum points from this clash as they look to climb higher up the table.

Both managers have clashed four times. And the Norwegian has defeated the English manager three times.

Only two of the last 10 games between these two sides has ended in a draw. In the last meeting – which was in the FA Cup – Chelsea came out on top after a 3-1 win over Man. Utd. The result of that game also underscored how much goals are usually scored in this clash.

Eight of the last 10 editions of this game has produced at least two goals. With both sides fired up for this game, it’s a must-watch clash. More importantly, it’s one to add to your bet slip. What’s your prediction for this game?
