Match Preview
Old Trafford has once again become a difficult place to visit, and Manchester United will be confident of extending their strong home run when Tottenham arrive this weekend.
Since Michael Carrick stepped in as interim boss, United have shown a far more aggressive edge going forward, while their performances in big games have been particularly impressive. Wins over Manchester City and Arsenal highlight the renewed belief in the squad, with confidence clearly flowing through the attacking unit.
Tottenham, meanwhile, remain a work in progress under Thomas Frank. Despite lifting last season’s Europa League, consistency in the league has been elusive and their away form continues to be a major concern. Spurs have taken just one win from their last seven league matches on the road and have struggled defensively, conceding multiple goals in recent outings.
Goals look likely again here. United rarely keep clean sheets but continue to find the net with ease, while Spurs still carry enough attacking threat to trouble any defence on their day. With both sides preferring to play on the front foot, an open and entertaining contest is expected.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Tips
Manchester United to Win & Both Teams to Score
United’s home form has been strong and they tend to rise to the occasion in high-profile fixtures. Spurs’ defensive issues make this a solid value angle.
Odds: 21/10
Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams have been involved in high-scoring matches all season, with defensive control often sacrificed for attacking intent. This fixture has all the hallmarks of another goal-filled affair.
Odds: 4/6
Correct Score: Manchester United 3-2
For punters chasing a bigger return, a repeat of United’s recent high-scoring wins could be on the cards. Spurs’ attacking quality should earn them goals, but United’s edge at Old Trafford may prove decisive.
Odds: 22/1
Manchester United’s momentum and strong home record give them the upper hand, but Tottenham are unlikely to go quietly. Expect goals at both ends, plenty of drama, and a narrow win for the hosts.
