At 22:00 Beijing time on April 27, 2024, the 35th round of the English Premier League will be the first to start a match, and the Red Devils Manchester United will face promoted Burnley at home. Who will die in this match? I'm going to give you an analysis of the game below.
The Red Devils, who are playing at home, currently have a record of 16 wins, five draws and 12 defeats, and are sixth in the league with 53 points, with Ten Hag's side having a disappointing run this season. And in the previous FA Cup semi-finals, there was also a more dramatic scene in the competition, Manchester United led 3:0, but was actually tied by the Championship team Coventry, dragged the game into a penalty shootout, Manchester United won by luck. Despite progressing to the final, Manchester United seem to have no chance of winning against Premier League giants Manchester City. After qualifying for the FA Cup, United beat vice-leaders Sheffield United in the round of 29. Manchester United are currently doing their best to secure a sixth place in the league in order to secure a European place next season, so the desire to win is still very strong.
Away side Burnley entered the Premier League as Championship winners last season, but the promoted team have not shown what they are doing, and they are currently second from bottom in the league with just 23 points. However, they are only behind the safety needs and still have relegation hopes for Nottingham Forest. So for Burnley, every game is a decisive battle. They finished bottom of the league in the last round and Sheffield United are unbeaten in two consecutive games.
Although Manchester United's performance this season is questionable, they still have some advantages against promoted Burnley, and in the past six meetings, Manchester United have achieved an unbeaten record of five wins and one draw, and have comprehensively crushed their opponents in terms of head-to-head statistics. Therefore, in this game, I am still more optimistic that Manchester United, which is playing at home, can submit promoted horse Burnley.
