St Etienne – Manchester United Prediction & Preview and Betting Tips (22.02.2017)

Prediction for St Etienne – Manchester United

Win Saint-Etienne Asian Handicap +0.5 @ 1.84

Second European League pick. For this occasion we are going to look at Manchester United in their visit to France. Recall that the “red devils” won 3-0 in the first leg.

St Etienne

– Saint Etienne: Benague and Soderlund are out for injury.

– Saint-Etienne: They are forced to win after the hard defeat at Old Trafford and with nothing more to play after falling in the Cup against Auxerre of Ligue 2, the objectives of the team are to get the comeback and get European place ( They are 5th without a European place with 39 points and 4 points of Lyon, 4th place with Europa League).

One of the points that I support for this pick is that it is the third team less thrashed Ligue 1 with 21 goals against in 26 league games, only behind the 18 goals of PSG and 20 of Nice. As local players have only lost 1 league match of the 13 who have played (0-1 against Nice) and has already tied 1-1 to the leader Monaco. As arguments against, even finishing first group, at home did not pass the draw against Mainz 05 and Anderlecht and only won by the minimum Gabala Azerbaijan.

Manchester United

– Manchester United: Phil Jones and Rooney are doubtful about muscle discomfort.

– Manchester United: Mourinho’s team has been heading the course of the season since December. After many doubts and even being 6th in Premier have Liverpool to 1 point, Tottenham and Arsenal to 2 points and Manchester City (2) to 4 points. With the UEFA Europa League quarter-finals qualifying FA Cup quarterfinal where they will face Chelsea, United will need to rotate several of their key players to avoid forcing injuries and especially a key reason: the final The League Cup.

This Sunday they play the first title of the year at Wembley against Southampton. I would not rule out that Pogba started from the bench and that Ibra starts to start and then be changed if there is no danger of a French comeback. The clear priority of the devil team is the title of Sunday and continue to progress both in the Europa League, where they are the most favorite to the title a priori, as in the Premier.

Between that the United has to focus more on the cupbear title than in this match and the irregularity that usually present the English equipment when they play away from home in international competitions I see no reason why to put the 1X in this match to a quota that me Seems quite interesting.
