Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match Prediction
Manchester United have scored freely this season, and only Arsenal and Manchester City currently have better attacking numbers in the Premier League. However, the team’s defensive record is on a par with opponents from the bottom half of the standings. In the previous four Premier League matches, Manchester United not only scored at least twice, but also showed character, fighting until the final whistle. Interestingly, in their last six league games the club have kept a clean sheet only in the derby against Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur are not far behind the hosts. Tottenham Hotspur scored at least two goals in three of their previous four Premier League matches. But the team have also conceded in each of their last five Premier League games. Therefore, we expect an entertaining, high-scoring match. It is also worth adding that at least three goals were scored in six of the previous seven head-to-head league meetings.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes and over 2.5 goals
* For each team, the starting lineup is from its most recent match in this competition.
