Struggling Burnley aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Brighton, but given their recent negative record against Manchester United, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Clarets do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team recording only 3 wins in the Premier League this season. With the team conceding 1.80 goals per home game of late, we do not believe that there is big value in betting on the underdogs. Adding to their woes, their injury list is pretty long, with the likes of Foster, Mejbri, and Tuanzebe still being on international duty.
The Red Devils, on the other hand, head into Wednesday’s clash following a 1-1 draw with Leeds United. As both Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount should recover in time to face Burnley, away win seems like a nice betting option. You should know that Ruben Amorim’s men have been scoring 2.00 goals per game on the road in recent weeks. All Diallo, Mazraoui, and Mbeumo are representing their national teams at the 2025 AFCON, but Amorim has strength in depth.
Man Utd are undefeated in the previous eight meetings with Burnley in all competitions. Important players are back for the Red Devils and given the Clarets’ shaky defence, Away Win is our main betting tip for this matchup, alongside Over 1.5 (70% H2H) and Man Utd Over 1.5 goals.
This Premier League match will be played on Wednesday 7 January 2026 at 20:15.
