Man Utd vs Liverpool Betting Tips: Over 2.5 Goals / Liverpool to score 2+

This weekend, an entertaining cup competition is expected, in a match that frequently delivers in the goal markets.

Despite their most recent encounter at Anfield ending in a goalless draw, the seven preceding matches between these formidable rivals each recorded over 2.5 goals. Known for its unpredictability, the contest saw Man Utd suffer a 7:0 defeat on their last visit to Anfield prior to the unexpected goalless draw in December.

In this location, five or more goals were scored in three out of the last four encounters, including a 3:2 FA Cup victory for Man Utd at Old Trafford in 2021. From 2021 onwards, a total of 34 goals have been netted in the eight games between these teams, averaging four goals per match. Of these, Liverpool netted 23, while United scored 11.

Regardless of the opponent, Old Trafford typically offers a lot of entertainment. In eight of the last 11 matches at this venue, more than 2.5 goals were scored. Furthermore, since September, United has lost eight out of their last 17 home games.

Although a victory for Liverpool is anticipated, I am more inclined towards betting in the goal markets. Over 2.5 goals seems like a safe bet, and I also foresee Jurgen Klopp’s team scoring a minimum of two goals. The Red Devils have let in two or more goals in half of their previous 18 home games.

With all of that in mind, I’m putting my faith in a high-scoring FA Cup contest. Over 2.5 goals is my top pick, while I also expect BTTS, and Liverpool to score at least twice at the home of their great rivals.
