This weekend’s early kick-off (Saturday, 12:30 pm GMT) sees Tottenham host Manchester United at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in what promises to be an intriguing Premier League clash.
Both sides sit level on 17 points after 10 games, and with neither finding consistency yet, this one could be tight.
Terry Foord takes a closer look at the form, stats and best betting insights ahead of this compelling clash.
“Inconsistent” is probably the best word to describe Tottenham right now. Some might call it “Spursy”, but as a West Ham fan, I’ll stay out of that debate.
After suffering back-to-back defeats — 2-0 to Newcastle in the EFL Cup and at home to Chelsea — Thomas Frank’s side bounced back with an impressive 4-0 Champions League win over Copenhagen. That result lifted them into the top ten in the league stage, but their home form remains a concern — they’ve won fewer than they’ve lost at home this season.
Manchester United arrives off the back of a disappointing 2-2 draw away to Nottingham Forest. Despite leading through Casemiro, they needed an 81st-minute Amad Diallo equaliser to salvage a point.
It’s now four games unbeaten for Rúben Amorim, with three wins and a draw — and while United have scored 10 goals in that period, they’ve only kept one clean sheet, highlighting their defensive fragility.
Tottenham’s recent record against United is strong — they’ve won the last four and are unbeaten in seven. United’s last away victory in this fixture came back in 2021, when they won 3-0.
Goals are usually on the cards: we’ve seen over 2.5 goals in four of the last seven meetings, and both teams have scored in three. That said, Spurs’ home Premier League form is worrying — one win in five, losing three during that spell.
Tottenham are unpredictable right now — and while they’ve looked solid in Europe, that home league form (1 win in 5) is hard to overlook. I can’t back them.
United, on the other hand, have only won once away from home this season — albeit against Liverpool — but there’s value in the goals market. They’ve scored 2+ goals in four of their six away matches, and given how leaky both defences are, goals should flow here.
I’m backing over 2.5 goals, and taking Manchester United to score 2+ as a strong secondary angle. For a bit of fun, a 2-2 correct score also fits the data and current form nicely.
3pts – Over 2.5 goals – 4/6 (Bet365)
1pt – Manchester United to score 2+ goals – 1/1 (Bet365)
0.5pts bet builder – Both teams to score, over 2.5 goals, Kudus & Van De Ven to have 1+ shots 11/4 (Bet365)
0.5pts Correct Score – Tottenham 2-2 Manchester United 12/1 (Bet365)
