Everton v Man Utd: Predictions, tips and best bets as tasty Toffees eye Red Devil breakthrough

If there was ever a time for the Toffees to end their barren run of results against United, it’s now.

Everton are second in the Premier League form table when looking at the last five games, picking up 13 points out of a possible 15 and scoring 12 goals in the process.

Whatever David Moyes has put in the water at Goodison, it’s certainly having an impact on a side who were serious relegation contenders just a few weeks ago.

Speaking of relegation, Man United find themselves sitting 15th in the standings ahead of this fixture. Ruben Amorim has only started his job at Old Trafford but with the defeat column gaining weight, it won’t be long before the Portuguese manager is fighting for his job.

Here, we take a closer look at the fixture and pick out some of the best bets along the way.

Good luck and please gamble responsibly.

Everton v Man Utd bet builder

Beto to score anytime – 12/5

Everton to win – 6/4

Both teams to score – 17/20

Under 9.5 corners – 1/1

 

Beto to score anytime

In his 30 Premier League appearances last season, Beto scored a mere three goals. In has last three outings under David Moyes, the forward has scored four. Incredible.

Whatever magic the Scot has used to kick his striker into gear has certainly worked, with the Guinea-Bissau man looking to strike in four straight Premier League games.

Form is a strange thing, but once it’s there you can’t bet against it. We’re backing Beto to give the Man United defence a run for their money.

 

Everton to win

Speaking of form, you really can’t bet against Everton at the moment. Not only are the Toffees unbeaten in five league games, but they also won four of them and have scored 12 goals along the way.

United, on the other hand, are in the midst of a serious injury crisis.

If that wasn’t enough, Amorim’s men are also in poor form, losing back-to-back league outings against Crystal Palace and Tottenham.

 

Both teams to score

This bet hasn’t landed in four straight meetings – all of which ended with Man United picking up comfortable wins with clean sheets.

The Red Devils are not in the position to continue that run, and we’re backing both teams to get on the scoresheet in this one. 

 

Under 9.5 corners

While we are expecting goals, this is not shaping up to be an exhibition of attacking football. On the contrary, we can see this becoming a somewhat attritional affair.

This bet has landed in Everton’s last two games and we expect that trend to continue.
