Tottenham – Manchester United Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (27.4.2023)
Tottenham are slowly but surely losing the pace in the Champions League qualifying race, and the Lilywhites desperately need a victory over Manchester United. The Red Devils, on the other side, are searching for their fourth consecutive Premier League victory, so let’s take a closer look.
Tottenham vs. Manchester United: Initial Situation
Tottenham are sitting at the fifth spot in the Premier League with 53 points (W16, D5, L11) and a 58:51 goal difference. The Lilywhites are six points behind the Red Devils (W18, D5, L7; 46:37 GD), who have two games in hand on Tottenham.
Tottenham Stats & Form
The Lilywhites are coming off Sunday’s embarrassing 6-1 defeat against Newcastle on the road. They were down 5-0 after just 21 minutes of play. It was their second league loss in a row, and the Lilywhites have only won two of their previous nine matches in all competitions. In their last nine outings at home, Tottenham have recorded six wins, two losses, a draw, and a 13:7 goal difference.
Harry Kane scored a consolation goal versus Newcastle, and the 29-year-old elite striker now has 26 goals on his season tally. Kane has found the back of the net in five of his last six appearances in the Premier League. Heung-min Son has bagged 12 goals in 41 appearances in all competitions this season, while Ivan Perisic is the team’s best assist-maker with 11 dishes in 40 matches.
Manchester United Stats & Form
As I’ve mentioned, the Red Devils have won three straight matches in the Premier League, outlasting Nottingham Forest 2-0, Everton 2-0, and Brentford 1-0 in the process. Last Sunday, they beat Brighton on penalties in the FA Cup semifinal after 120 minutes of goalless football. The Red Devils bounced back from last week’s 3-0 road defeat against Sevilla that eliminated them from the UEFA Europa League.
Marcus Rashford leads the way for Manchester United with 28 goals and ten assists in 49 appearances in all competitions this season, while Bruno Fernandes has accounted for ten goals and 13 dishes across 49 matches. The Red Devils have struggled with injuries of late and cannot count on defenders Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez, midfielder Scott McTominay, and winger Alejandro Garnacho.
Tottenham – Manchester United: Head-to-Head
Since a heavy 6-1 home loss to Tottenham in 2020, Manchester United have won four straight matches over the Lilywhites, including a couple of victories at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. In their first meeting of the season, Manchester United beat Tottenham 2-0 as slight 2.30 home favorites. Six of the previous eight encounters between the Lilywhites and Red Devils have seen both teams score.
Tottenham – Manchester United Odds
The bookmakers are expecting to see a tight battle at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. They slightly favor Manchester United over Tottenham, and Unibet Sportsbook offers the best odds on either side to win. Over 2.5 Goals pays 1.70 at BetVictor Sportsbook, while Both Teams to Score YES sits at 1.65 on Unibet.
I’m looking for both teams to find the back of the net, and the reason is pretty simple. Tottenham’s defense has been awful lately, yielding a whopping 14 goals over the last five matches, and with Harry Kane up front, the Lilywhites should be able to score against Manchester United. The Red Devils have allowed 14 goals in their previous six games on the road and miss a couple of key defenders.
