Prediction: 2-0
Leicester City
Manchester United play host to Leicester City at their Old Trafford in the opening match of the 2018/2019 Premier League campaign. The Red Devils failed to win the title last season and, no doubt, they are determined to make amends for the unsuccessful campaign. Jose Mourinho did not make too many changes to the squad in the summer transfer window and, no doubt, the Portuguese tactician has faith in his players. The Foxes head into Friday’s football match following a 2-1 win over Lille in their last warm-up game, but seeing that the Red Devils are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on the visitors. You should bear in mind that Manchester United emerged triumphant in seven of their last eight home games in the English top flight.
