Manchester United vs Tottenham: Prediction, Odds and Betting Tips

🏆 Manchester United vs Tottenham: Who Will Win?

Manchester United, in the second half comeback against Aston Villa on Boxing Day, showed us that they have the players to play some outstanding football, but it always seems to be one step forward and two steps back with them at the moment. In their last EPL match against Nottingham Forest, who are battling relegation, they put in an insipid display and threw away their hard work against Villa. They are 7th in the EPL form table, having picked up just 7 points from the last 18 that have been on offer.

You can never be too sure what Spurs team is going to show up this season, but what you can be sure of is that they will put on a show for the viewers. They are currently sitting in 5th place, just one point adrift of Arsenal and Manchester City, thanks to four wins in their last six matches. This included a 4-1 win over Newcastle and a 3-1 win against an in-form Bournemouth.

Manchester United are playing with a lot of pressure on their shoulders as their fans are getting fed up with their inconsistent and dour football. Spurs, on the other hand, and playing freely under their Australian manager, and seem to be loving life at the moment. As a result of this, my money is on a Tottenham win and, if I had to pick a score, I would go 3-1 to Spurs.

Surprisingly, the bookmakers have Manchester United as the favourites to win this match, which is probably mostly due to the fact that they are playing at home. Their comeback against Aston Villa from two down probably had some influence on the odds too.

1️⃣ Manchester United Update

When Manchester United came from two goals down against Aston Villa to claim all three points, pundits and fans all wondered whether this was the turning point for Ten Hag and his men. I knew that they would go on and lose their next match, and that is exactly what they did against a lowly Nottingham Forest. Alongside this defeat to Forest, in their previous six matches, they have also lost to Bournemouth and West Ham. Things are certainly rotten in the state of Old Trafford, and I do not see Ten Hag surviving until the end of the season.

Ten Hag will point to the number of absentees that he has as to why United are hovering mid-table, but the truth of the matter is that he still has plenty of quality at his disposal. United's list of absentees can be found in the table below:

2️⃣Tottenham Update

Spurs finished the 2022/23 season in 8th place, and there was plenty of doom and gloom at the club. They were playing some turgid and boring football, and had missed out on any type of European football this season. However, the sun is shining once more at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium thanks to the entertaining brand of football that they are now playing. Additionally 12 points from the last 18 available has moved them to just one point adrift of the Champions League.

Postecoglou has had his fair of injuries too, but he just gets on with things and does the best with what he has available. Below you can see the absent players for this clash at Old Trafford.
