Manchester United vs. Leicester City prediction, odds: Expert reveals Premier League picks for April 2, 2022

Manchester United is trying to salvage a tough season, and it will be seeking key points Saturday when it hosts Leicester City in an English Premier League match at Old Trafford. The Red Devils (14-8-7) were ousted from the Champions League with a 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid before the international break and are trying to move into a top-four spot. They are sixth in the Premier League table, four points behind No. 4 Arsenal, but the Gunners have a game in hand, so there is a lot of work to do. The Foxes (10-6-11) are in the 10th position, but they are getting healthy and come in unbeaten in their last four against Manchester United in all competitions. 

Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET in Manchester, England. Caesars Sportsbook lists Man U as the -195 favorite (risk $195 to win $100) on the 90-minute money line in its latest Manchester United vs. Leicester City odds, with the Foxes the +500 underdog. A draw is priced at +350 and the over-under for total goals scored is 2.5.

Why you should back Manchester United

The Red Devils have been spending the money to bring in the talent, but it hasn’t been paying off on the field this season. They are scoring goals, putting up 48 in their 28 games, fifth-most in the league. The defense has been a problem, as Man U has allowed 40 goals. Still, that is six fewer than the Foxes have conceded. Any team with Cristiano Ronaldo (12 league goals) and Bruno Fernandes (nine goals, six assists) can do damage against anyone. 

Ronaldo had a hat trick in United’s last league match, a 3-2 win against Tottenham, and now that European play is done, the team can go all-in on a strong league finish. Fernandes and Ronaldo both will come in on a high after helping Portugal qualify for the Word Cup. Paul Pogba (nine assists), Marcus Rashford (four goals) and Jadon Sancho (three goals, three assists) all should be available to support the Portuguese stars in attack. 

Why you should back Leicester City

The Foxes have been in Man U’s head the past four games, winning the last two in league play and also beating the Red Devils in the FA Cup last year. They have a 9-4 goal differential in the four games, and Jamie Vardy, Youri Tielemans and Patson Daka all scored in the last meeting. Vardy continues to recover from a knee injury, but Tielemans (six goals) and Daka (four) are almost certain to be in the starting 11. Kelechi Iheanacho (two goals, five assists) also should play a role, even if he comes in off the bench. He scored twice in the FA Cup win last year. 

James Maddison (eight goals, three assists) and Harvey Barnes (three goals, six assists) also play major roles in the Leicester City attack. Maddison has two goals over the past three matches, and Barnes has a goal and three assists in the past five. Goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is fourth in the league with 94 saves and is just under 70 in save percentage, and the 35-year-old is a strong leader for the back line.
