After consecutive Premier League and Europa League draws, Manchester United is back in action in the top English flight against Tottenham Hotspurs. Spurs will be traveling to Old Trafford on Sunday, 29 September. Tottenham have found the consistency with three successive victories in different competitions before this exciting challenge. Now, let’s explore the right picks for this thrilling clash between English Giants.
Manchester United to win 29/21 (2.38)
Manchester United have produced only one victory in the last five Premier League and Europa League fixtures, concluding two draws. The Red Devils have also been struggling at Old Trafford, winning only two of the previous five league matches in front of the home fans. However, United will be optimistic to bounce back as Spurs are yet to find an away victory this season in Premier League. In the last five H2Hs between two teams at Old Trafford, Manchester United have emerged victorious three times, featuring a draw in the previous meeting. Given the current scenario, we predict Manchester United to get back to their winning ways in Premier League this Sunday.
Both teams to score: Yes 2/5 (1.40)
Since the start of the season, Manchester United have failed to find the back of the net in only one of the previous four home games. Defensively, the Red Devils have claimed three clean sheets in the same number of overall matches, including against Barnsley and Crystal Palace. But Postecoglou’s attacking line looks prepared as Spurs have scored in each of the previous five competitive away games, witnessing four BTTS outcomes. Adding more to this, four of the last five H2H meetings between these two sides have ended with both teams on the scoresheet. Therefore, we expect goals from both ends of the field in this match.
Over 2.5 Goals 11/25 (1.44)
Besides the EFL Cup fixtures against Barnsley, Manchester United’s attack has not been great at Old Trafford recently. However, the Red Devils have rattled the net multiple times in four of the last five home H2Hs against Tottenham who are currently in the same struggling circumstances in the league as United. Spurs have also leaked goals in four of the five Premier League games this season, finding the back of the net nine times. Moreover, four of the last five meetings between Manchester United and the Lilywhites ended with high-scoring totals. Following the above numbers, a total of Over 2.5 Goals will be the most probable outcome for this game.
