MANCHESTER UNITED VS ATALANTA: BETTING PREVIEW

Manchester United get a break from their Premier League troubles with a daunting Champions League fixture that their manager just can’t afford to lose.

Not only is a win needed for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but a big performance is as well. Here’s a close look at the Manchester United v Atalanta betting options at LV BET.

MANCHESTER UNITED VS ATALANTA: BETTING

Manchester United

The accusations were flying thick and fast following Manchester United’s horror show at the King Power Stadium. Dreams of a Premier League title already look wishful at best after the Red Devils were torn apart in their second loss of the season (4-2) at the hands of Brendan Rodgers and his Foxes. 

For some time, the Reds have been drifting aimlessly – and there seems to be a lot of doubt that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is the man to turn the ship around. His problems are sure to pile up unless he quietens his critics with a performance against Atalanta. 

So far are they off the pace already, that LV BET have them at an incredible 33/1 (34.00) to win the Premier League title.

For a club just two points off the leaders a few days ago, some say surely Solskjaer cannot survive many more bad nights at Old Trafford – and with Liverpool, Tottenham and Manchester City to come in the league, anything except a win on Wednesday leaves an already exposed head coach swimming against a very strong tide.

Are you backing them to do it? A convincing 2-0 United win is on offer at 10/3 (4.33).

Are the fans owed a powerful display – you can back a 4-0 victory at 28/1 (29.00).

If you’re relying on Ronaldo, he is at 59/20 (3.95) to open the scoring at Old Trafford in midweek.

You can get the five-time winner at the same odds to get the game’s final goal, too. 

How about 39/10 (4.90) on the game being level at half-time and United to win the match? 

Will they both fire blanks? No goals during the game is an attractive 20/1 (21.00).

Atalanta 

United fans, look away now. Atalanta certainly know what they are doing away from home.

On Sunday, 24 hours after United were schooled by Leicester City, Atalanta ran out as 4-1 winners over Empoli.

That came after an impressive 2-2 draw at Inter Milan, days after they did the double over Serie A’s Salernitana.

The Italians sit sixth but top Group F with four points from two games. A win this Wednesday, and they’ll have one foot in the next round. 

If you are backing Atalanta to carry on their great form, you’re in the right place.

A 1-0 away win is offered at 16/1 (17.00).

You can even get 25/1 (26.00) on them to leave Manchester with all three points. 

Colombian forward Duvan Zapata is a man in form, and at 7/4 (2.75) to score at any time; he could be one to keep your eye on.

Veteran Slovenian forward Josip Ilicic is a man their fans love – he’s a 9/1 (10.00) bet to close the scoring at Old Trafford. 

The two sides do struggle to keep clean sheets, so a 1/2 (1.50) bet for both to score is certainly worth considering.
