After 24 rounds in the Premier League, the Mancunians occupy a modest 13th place, in the last round they lost to Crystal Palace (0:2). The Red Devils are the current holders of the FA Cup and are trying to defend the title. Ruben Amorim's team started at the last stage and immediately created a sensation, knocking Arsenal out of the tournament in a penalty shootout, and from the 61st minute of that game they had to play ten. The 1/16 finals game against Leicester is ahead. This season, the Mancunians knocked this opponent out of the League Cup (5:2) and beat them in the Premier League (3:0) without any problems.

Current form

Leicester are fighting for survival and clearly the bet is now on the Premier League.

After 14 rounds, Ruud van Nistelrooy's men occupy the 18th place in the relegation zone and are two points behind the saving 17th line.

Bet on the total

In the last three head-to-head matches, Manchester United have won by scoring at least three goals. Leicester's defense definitely didn't get any stronger, the same Everton was able to hit their goal four times. We expect that the Mancunians will be able to score at least three goals.

The second bet is that Manchester United's individual goal total is over 2.5 with a coefficient of 2.04

Betting on corners

It should be noted that Manchester United did not serve more than six corners in six of the seven previous face-to-face meetings on their own field. Based on these statistics, we recommend another option for betting on the match.
