Manchester United has been disappointing English Premier League fans and bettors all season long with an 11-5-6 overall record. They currently rank fourth on the EPL table and were most recently shocked by Middlesbrough in penalties.

While Manchester United is having a bad season for a team with their skill level, Burnley is just outright bad both on paper and on the turf. They are 1-10-8 in league play and are currently dead last on the Premier League Table. Here are the odds for the matchup courtesy of WynnBET.

Burnley vs. Manchester United Prediction and Pick

While Man United should have little trouble beating Burnley, they are still struggling to perform despite a very talented roster. Therefore, even at reasonable odds considering their talent, I don’t trust this team. Man United is wildly inconsistent. They look amazing one week only to follow up with a total stinker. This might be a down game for Man United as the team is dealing with a bit of a scandal involving striker Mason Greenwood. The 20-year-old scored five goals so far this season but was recently suspended after being arrested on rape and assault charges. His absence will be felt on an offense that already struggles to maintain consistency. On a positive note, the team will have midfield threat Paul Pogba back on the pitch. 

Burnley’s lone win in the EPL during the current season came in the last week of October when they beat Brentford 3-1. So, I am not too keen on betting on them pulling off an upset on the road at Old Trafford. However, with back-to-back 0-0 draws against Watford and Arsenal, a tie is not out of the question. Especially at 3/1 odds. Burnley has tied six of their last nine games in the EPL and a draw feels like the play for them on Tuesday. 

Lean: Draw +300
