Leicester City vs Manchester United: betting odds 16 Mar 2025
Leicester City — Manchester United betting tips 16 Mar 2025
The scent of the Championship is becoming stronger around the King Power Stadium. Leicester City’s dire form has dragged them closer to the relegation battle, and their only real hope against Manchester United is the visitors' potential fatigue following their recent Europa League clash, especially given Manchester United’s limited squad options due to an extensive injury list.
Leicester City have now lost five consecutive matches without scoring a single goal. Over 450+ minutes of football, they have created chances worth only 1.53 xG, while their opponents have amassed 8.47 xGA and converted them into 13 goals. That level of efficiency highlights Leicester’s struggles at both ends of the pitch. Their last goal came in the FA Cup against none other than Manchester United—who eliminated them in the fourth round.
Manchester United progressed in the Europa League this week, but their second-leg win over Real Sociedad was overshadowed by two controversial penalties awarded in their favour. Bruno Fernandes bagged a hat-trick, having already played the full 90 minutes against Arsenal before that. Despite his heavy workload, it’s hard to imagine Manchester United’s captain being rested here, especially with the squad stretched to its limits. Their injury list remains lengthy, with 10 first-team players out across all positions, and Patrick Dorgu serving a three-match suspension. This means Ruben Amorim will have little choice but to rely on his core starters once again.
Even if Manchester United take the lead, they will likely switch to energy-conserving mode, as no one wants to risk injuries ahead of the international break. However, against such a struggling opponent, they should still be able to find the net at least twice.
