Stodgy Fare At The Britannia
It's a huge game for Louis van Gaal if rumours are to be believed but the Potters have the same goalscoring problems.
The two teams with the smallest goal totals per game meet at the Britannia Stadium to kick-off proceedings on Boxing Day. We should not expect the most net-busting match of the festive period!
17 Stoke City matches have so far only produced 30 goals at an average of 1.76 per fixture. Manchester United rank 19th, and therefore face accusations of being dull, after just 36 goals at an average of 2.12 per game.
Both teams defend a great deal better than they attack and 9/5 on under 1.5 goals is therefore the play here. That’s happened in 8 of the Potters’ 17 league outings and a 47% occurrence rate makes the value here self-evident.
