Manchester United Stats & Current Form
Will Manchester United live up to their role as favourites?
Because of 3 wins and 1 draw, they are unbeaten in 4 competitive games. In the most recent home game they celebrated their second 1-0 win in a row: 1-0 against West Ham and 1-0 against Aston Villa in the FA Cup. They played their first FA Cup game of the season against The Villans. It was a shaky win as an Aston Villa goal was disallowed. Man United only took the lead in the 51st minute, with The Villans pushing for an equaliser. But it must also be said that 2 playmakers - Ronaldo and Sancho - stayed out.

Manchester United vs Middlesbrough: Head-to-head comparison
For the first time in almost five years, the two teams will face each other again in a competitive game. In 2016/17 "Boro" made a short guest appearance in the English Premier League before being directly relegated. In the games against the Red Devils, the promoted team remained pointless both times. However, in both games between Manchester United and Middlesbrough, the prediction of goals from both teams was the right choice. In all competitions, Manchester United has won just over half of all duels with 64 wins in 126 competitive games.

Betting Base Prediction & Manchester United vs Middlesbrough Tips
Given the record of the two coaches, the clubs are encouraged that a change of coach was the right decision. Both Rangnick and Wilder provided an upswing, so on Friday there will be two teams that can show a broad chest. In terms of quality, however, the difference cannot be dismissed out of hand and accordingly the odds offered at Manchester United against Middlesbrough are very one-sided.

Our prognosis
This game is probably already decided on paper. Manchester United should no longer be able to take this win. The odds for tip 1 are the same as a bank tip. We can recommend this win bet as a selection in an accumulator bet. Because of the current form of both, we would bet on a yes if both teams score. We are also assuming more than 2.5 goals. Actually, only Boro's results indicate an over bet and their rather weak away defense, although the Red Devils at Old Trafford are also rather weak in defense.
