Manchester United - Arsenal match score prediction: Gunners' advantage

(NLDO) - All eyes are on Old Trafford when Manchester United faces Arsenal (10:30 p.m., August 17). The English derby always holds surprises.

Manchester United are keen to make amends after a less-than-successful 2024-2025 season and fans are sure to believe that new signings Benjamin Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha will help the team improve their attacking play.

Defender Lisandro Martinez is sidelined with a knee injury, while Andre Onana, Noussair Mazraoui and Joshua Zirkzee remain doubts.

In contrast, the Gunners have done well to sign striker Victor Gyokeres from Sporting CP, and experts predict that the Swedish international will be an important factor in breaking down Manchester United's defense.

The likes of Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi and Cristhian Mosquera have also joined the Emirates Stadium outfit. However, Arsenal are a more cohesive unit than Manchester United and Mikel Arteta's side will be keen to prove their worth on the pitch.

Gabriel Jesus is likely to be the only player absent from the away team's squad.

When Manchester United is no longer a formidable opponent, a team that has been runner-up for three consecutive years like Arsenal can win even if they have to play on their opponent's field.

That is why no one was surprised when the bookmakers listed the odds of Arsenal giving Manchester United half a goal, losing money (win 87, lose all). However, that handicap was still not enough, still did not stop fans from betting on the upper hand, so by noon yesterday the odds had changed to Arsenal giving Manchester United half a goal, 97-92.

The price remains the same as this afternoon, but it will most likely change by kick-off time. In any case, Arsenal is still safer.

Don't be surprised if 1-1 is the most popular score with a 1 to 7.1 bet. Of course, this is an English derby and even though they know it's wrong, loyal fans still choose their favorite score for their team. If 1-1 is the cheapest, then 0-1 is the next most popular score with a 1 to 8.3 bet, 1-2 is 8.8, while 0-2 is 1 to 10. The chance of Manchester United winning is not highly rated, so 1-0 and 2-1 have a 1 to 12 bet, while 2-0 has a 21 bet.
