Real Madrid vs Manchester United
Club Friendlies
Date: 27 July 2023, Thursday
Kick-off at 01:30 UK / 02:30 CET
Venue: NRG Stadium (Houston).
Both Real Madrid and Manchester United will be looking to build on their perfect starts to the preseason schedule as they take on each other in a friendly on Wednesday evening at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas.
Los Blancos played their maiden exhibition three days ago against Italian giants AC Milan, completing a marvelous second-half comeback to turn a two-goal deficit into a 3-2 victory at the end.
Federico Valverde took advantage of AC Milan’s goalkeeper mistakes to net a brace before Vinicus Junior marked his first goal with the No 7 shirt behind his back to set the final score six minutes from time.
Manchester United had been in action much earlier, beating the likes of Leeds and Lyon in two exhibitions on European soil before traveling to the United States.
The Red Devils started the US tour with a 2-0 victory over Premier League runners-up Arsenal on Friday night.
New captain Bruno Fernandes opened the scoring as Jadon Sancho set the final score on the occasion.
Erik ten Hag can be pleased with his troops’ defensive performances so far in preseason as the Red Devils are yet to concede a goal after three matches this summer.
The matches between Real Madrid and Manchester United have historically brought goal fests and there are no reasons for us not to expect such trend to be continued in this friendly in Houston.
The value is nice with the Over 2.5 goals FT & Both Teams To Score pick at the odds of 1.83. We also like the 2.62 odds offered for Vinicius Junior to score anytime here, following his goal in the second-half appearance against AC Milan on Sunday.
