Bet: Both Teams to Score

Confirming all sports betting predictions last season Feyenoord finished far behind the leading pack (PSV and Ajax) in the Eredivisie. However, this year Giovanni van Bronckhorts’ side looks quite impressive with 5 wins after the first 5 match weeks. Moreover, The club of the people has already scored 15 goals allowing only 2. So Feye took control and is now on top of Dutch Eredivisie. It is interesting that even after such a brilliant start betting companies rate Feyenoord’s chances to win the league lower than those of PSV and Ajax.

Managed by Jose Mourinho Manchester United was effective at the start of the new season as it was conjectured by betting experts. Red Devils overcame Bournemouth, Southampton and Hull City scoring 6 and allowing only 1 goal. However, with the respect to all of the above mentioned teams, they are not a part of Premier League’s elite. The first real challenge for Man United was the Manchester derby. That match was particularly tense because of Mourinho’s rivalry with Pep Guardiola. But contrary to all sports betting predictions the Special One failed to prove its value as his team was beaten (1-2) at Old Trafford.

It is clear that UEFA Europa League does not meet Manchester United ambitions. However, it is much better than not featuring in European tournaments at all. While choosing a bet you should take into consideration the fact that this competition will be a good platform for Mourinho to give playing time to footballers who have not played regularly in Premier League. Betting experts think that this time the manager will definitely rule out Mkhitaryan and Lingard after their failure in Manchester derby. In addition, Luke Shaw is reported injured. Therefore, Rashford, Herrera, Martial, Mata and others may get a chance to play on Thursday. As for Feyenoord, they have a good combination of youth, maturity and experience. It should be mentioned that their captain and last season best striker is 36-year old former Liverpool player Dirk Kuyt.

The bookmakers are absolutely sure about the success of Red Devils: Feyenoord – 4,25, Draw – 3,80, Manchester United - 1,80. However, taking into account the fact that United will be without its main stars and van Bronckhorst’s side is in good form you can bet either on Double Chance: Feyenoord or Draw (2,00) or Feyenoord’s handicap (+0,75) (1,77). The Holland team is especially dangerous at home, so they are able to score that is why you can try to bet on Both Teams to Score (1,84). If you believe in Manchester United there is Total Goals by Away Team over 1,5 (1,87).
