Manchester United v Sabah FA prediction

MAManchester UnitedWDWWL
v
SASabah FAWWWLL

What to expect

We expect about 2.1 goals from Manchester United and 0.9 from Sabah FA, so Manchester United come out ahead by a clear distance rather than a nose. Put together, that is around 3.0 goals in the game, and a match we expect to open up at both ends.

Sabah FA come into this on two straight defeats. Recent results are only ever part of the story, but they are worth knowing before kick-off.

Our pick: Manchester United to win. Manchester United are the stronger side on the numbers (xG 2.1-0.9), and we make them about 67% to win. On this shape, taking them to come out on top looks the cleaner play than chasing a bigger price elsewhere.

We put the chance of that landing at about 67 out of 100. The price on offer is 1.11, which works out at about 90 out of 100. The price is shorter than our own read, so there is less in this than it might look.

What the numbers say
Manchester United have won three of their last five.
Sabah FA have won three of their last five.

One thing to watch

Favourites drop points more often than a short price suggests, and one moment can earn Sabah FA a draw or better. The price is shorter than our own read of about 67%, so there's less value here than the number suggests.
