Value Bets from Our Algorithm

Our value bet selections are the product of a sophisticated algorithm that analyses a wide array of football data.

It cross-references this analysis with live market odds to identify bets that offer genuine value.

Player Focus Bets

Based on recent form and historical data, our top picks for the Anytime Goalscorer market in this match between Burnley and Manchester United:

• Jaidon Anthony is worth considering in the anytime goalscorer market due to his consistent involvement in Burnley’s attacking phases and his ability to arrive in scoring positions from wide areas. He has already scored four league goals this season from 15 appearances, showing a solid return for a winger, while averaging close to one shot per game, which highlights regular goal attempts rather than reliance on isolated moments. With over 1,200 minutes played, Anthony is clearly trusted to play a key attacking role, and his tendency to cut inside and carry the ball into dangerous areas makes him a genuine threat, particularly in matches where Burnley are forced to play on the front foot at home.(Burnley)
• Benjamin Šeško is an interesting anytime goalscorer option due to his shot volume, physical profile and role at the focal point of Manchester United’s attack. Despite limited league starts, he has still managed two Premier League goals while averaging close to two shots per game, underlining a willingness to get attempts away whenever United sustain pressure. Standing at 195cm, Šeško offers a major aerial threat against a Burnley defence that has struggled to deal with crosses and second balls, while his ability to stretch defences also creates chances in transition. With United likely to dominate territory and supply him regularly in the box, Šeško has the profile and opportunity to convert chances if the game opens up. (Manchester United)

Quick Betting Angles

These Quick Betting Angles cut through the noise and turn stats into actionable insights for Burnley vs Manchester United on 7 January 2026 at 8:15 PM.

1. Betting Angle (Both Teams to Score): Both Teams to Score is a solid bet in this match given the attacking potential of both teams. Burnley are likely to push forward at home in search of points, and despite their defensive struggles, they often manage to create opportunities. Manchester United, while solid going forward, have shown vulnerability at the back, conceding in four of their last six league games. With both sides capable of finding the net, this fixture has all the ingredients for goals at both ends.
2. Betting Angle (Total Goals): Over 2.5 goals is a compelling option due to both teams’ tendency to play in open, high-tempo matches. Burnley, while struggling defensively, often create chances when playing at home, and with Manchester United’s attack, goals are usually on the agenda. United, who have scored and conceded in a number of their recent away games, are likely to exploit Burnley’s defensive weaknesses. Given both teams’ attacking threats and vulnerabilities at the back, this match has a strong chance of seeing more than 2.5 goals.
3. Betting Angle (Home Advantage): Home advantage could still play a factor for Burnley, even though their recent form at Turf Moor has been mixed. Burnley have registered two wins, a draw, and four losses in their last seven home matches. While they’ve managed victories over Sunderland, Nottingham Forest, and Leeds, they’ve also struggled against stronger sides like Arsenal, Chelsea, and Newcastle. Their 2-0 win over Sunderland and 2-0 victory over Leeds show that Burnley can still be resilient on home turf, but the 3-1 loss to Fulham and 0-0 draw with Everton highlight their inconsistency. Given their need for points in a relegation fight, the home crowd could provide a boost, though their defensive vulnerabilities remain a concern when facing a team like Manchester United.
