Burnley vs Manchester United Odds

With a roughly 60% chance of triumphing, the bookmakers aren’t giving too much away with their -147 betting odds for Manchester United winning this Premier League clash. Burnley are the outsiders at +425 which suggests a lower likelihood of winning.

Betting United -0.75 on the Asian Handicap at -114 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 -128 when it comes to BTTS Yes.
