Manchester United vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips on March 9, 2025
Game Prediction
A match between Manchester United and Arsenal will take place in the 28th round of the English Premier League on March 9, 2025. The guests from the capital are obviously set for victory in the “lair” of the crisis old enemy.
Our prediction for the match Manchester United vs Arsenal
The team from Old Trafford has already noticeably weakened in the previous season, becoming the last in its Champions League group and finishing the Premier League only in 8th place. Nevertheless, it won the FA Cup and ten Hag continued to work thanks to that. The club from the capital, having returned to the Champions League and having reached the play-offs there from the first place in the group, was again in 2nd position (Manchester City got a couple of points more and retained the title).
It is obvious that now Arteta’s footballers will remain vice-champions at the inner arena. They have significantly pulled away from their pursuers, but have taken 54 points, 13 points fewer than Liverpool, even though the leader has got a game in hand. Taking into account the elimination from the cups, the obvious priority for the spring is the Champions League. There, the English club went straight to the 1/8 finals. As for the first match with PSV, it did not notice the opponent, having crushed it with a 7-1 score in Eindhoven. Eric did not hold on to his position in Manchester until the end of autumn. On the other hand, nothing has changed (at least for the better) under the leadership of his successor, Ruben Amorim. The Portuguese specialist has already been eliminated from the League Cup and finished the winter with 12 defeats and 33 points in the Premier League, which results in 14th place. Last week, the team, after a draw, was eliminated on penalties, resigning the powers as trophy holders, in the cup meeting with Fulham. And on Thursday, the club, starting the Europa League play-offs with Real Sociedad, limited itself to a draw.
MU is currently playing boringly and poorly. Onana concedes 1.44 goals per round on average, and his partners respond with only 1.22 goals. The guests from London have got a much more pleasant ratio – 1.89/0.85
