Manchester United fans await better results from their team

Despite all the positive vibes that surrounded Manchester United after the return of Ronaldo, the Reds are struggling recently. In fact, just one win in five games shows that Solskjaer has a lot of work to do and no time. Obviously, the Norwegian boss is under pressure from the United fans and a win here is a good way to earn their respect again.

During this season’s CL games, and after a shock defeat in matchday one to Young Boys, United beat Villarreal in the second game. Incidentally, that is their only win in their last five competitive matches. Also, another concern for the United fans is that their team won just one of their last four home games. Thus a convincing win is what the fans await and nothing less than three points.

Atalanta looking to score early 

Atalanta are leading group F after a hard-fought point from their opening match against Villarreal. Then, La Dea beat the Young Boys 1-0 in another tough match in Bergamo. Hence all matches of this group are very close and the gap between the teams is very little. 

However, the positive point for coach Gasperini is the fact that his team is undefeated in ten away matches. Furthermore, Atalanta failed to score in just one of those ten away matches. And with United’s defensive problems all over the place recently, certainly, Gasperini can take advantage. Especially, with a scoring average of 2.2 goals in their last five away games. 

Manchester United vs Atalanta Prediction

Solskjaer must know by now that having Ronaldo in his team can backfire. First, in order that United can benefit from the Portuguese, he must be more involved in the game. Second, all the team must play for Ronaldo as Real Madrid did. But this could be a problem for many players.

In addition, Solskjaer must find solutions also for his defense that conceded four in their last game. As for Gasperini, the Italian surely knows how to deal with away matches as his team’s record shows.

Despite United being favorites to win with odds of 1.76 at Vbet, we don’t think it will be easy for the Premier League side. As we covered earlier, Gasperini is a master in snatching a point in tough away games. Thus we will back a double chance combined with a total goal bet at Vbet.
