Burnley vs Manchester United Odds

The odds and lines below are updated regularly and may differ from the prices shown in our picks, which are captured at the time of publication.

With a roughly 58% chance of triumphing, the bookmakers aren’t giving too much away with their -139 betting odds for Manchester United winning this Premier League clash. Burnley are the outsiders at +400 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

Betting United -0.75 on the Asian Handicap at -110 means splitting stake between -0.5 and -1.0. Therefore, a one-goal win over Burnley means a win and a push, with a 2+ goal victory meaning a full payout.

If you’re wagering on Total Goals, the market is far from clear over whether Unders or Overs happens. Punters expecting both teams to find the net can get -132 when it comes to BTTS Yes.

Bettors love the flexibility that hundreds of markets provide and that is for every Premier League game. The best football betting sites ensure that their customers always have plenty of options.
