EPL Betting Odds – Manchester United vs Everton
Manchester United began the Barclays Premier League with irregular performances and hasn’t taken off yet. However, the Red Devils are aware they can’t afford to miss the UEFA Champions League in back to back season, that’s why they look for a win this Sunday, October 5 against Everton, at Old Trafford at 7:00 AM ET.
In the seventh Premier League fixture, Man United vs Everton odds, the Louis van Gaal’s team is the favorite to win listed -162 in the money line. On the other side, Everton has +400 and a draw will pay +400.
In the head-to-head history, both teams have played 168 times and Manchester United leads the series with 75 wins and 53 losses. However, the game has some special ingredients. First, Everton has achieved good results playing away from home since the end of last season (5W, 2D, 1L). Furthermore, Manchester has lost eight games at Old Trafford since the beginning of last season, the same amount of losses they have over there in the previous five campaigns (2008-09 to 2012-13).
Another spicy ingredient for the game is the amount of goals both teams have scored this season, Manchester United with 11, Everton 12. Therefore, I think it would be a pretty open match with many goal opportunities. In this aspect, the Red Devils could take vantage, because Everton also is the worst defense in the Premier League so far (14 goals against).
Manchester arrives in the sixth place of the table with eight points, after an irregular campaign (2W, 2D, 2L) and +2 in their goal difference. On the other side, Everton is 15th of the Premier League so far, with six points (1W, 3D, 2L) and -2 in the goal difference.
