💡 Prediction

We envisage that Burnley will likely be able to find the back of the net against this Manchester United lineup, however a single goal probably shouldn’t be enough to give them the result that they want.

Therefore, we’re predicting a very close game with a 1-2 victory for Manchester United at the end of the match. Could easily go either way, this.
