Manchester United vs Tottenham: EPL Predictions, Odds & Best Bets

Although NFL Sunday is here once again, we also have an exciting matchup in the English Premier League before American football kicks off at one eastern. Manchester United hosts Tottenham as the two squads battle it out at Old Trafford. Our hosts, the Red Devils of Manchester United, have drawn their last two matches, one in EPL and one in UEL competition. In their last home EPL match, they were spanked by Liverpool 3-0.

Overall, Manchester United sits at 2-1-2 on the season with 7 points. Tottenham is right there with them with the same record, however the Spurs are +4 on goal differential while United is at 0. They have had plenty of success in their last few matches, winning three straight, including one on the road in the Carbaao Cup. But on the road in EPL play, they have just 1 point in 2 matches, drawing with Leicester, a match they should’ve won, and losing to Newcastle 2-1.

Will the Spurs be able to perform on the road against Manchester United? Or will they send Tottenham packing after securing all 3 points at Old Trafford?

Can Tottenham Find a Road Win?

Tottenham really hasn’t been tested in their last few matches. They’ve taken down Coventry City, Brentford, and FK Qarabag. Sure, they handled business, but they haven’t performed that well against top class teams this year. The Spurs lost at home to Arsenal, 1-nil, and also dropped a game on the road to Newcastle, 2-1. This team has been a bit lost since Harry Kane left a few seasons ago, and they are still trying to find their identity without him.

Against Manchester United on the road, I could see them struggling a bit. We saw a 2-2 draw the last time these teams played at Old Trafford in January, but the Spurs got the best of Manchester United at home last August. United have not beaten Tottenham since October 2022, which was at Old Trafford, beating the Spurs 2-nil.

Now, Manchester United netted 7 goals in their Carabao Cup match a couple weeks ago, but otherwise their offense has been stagnant. They’ve scored just 5 goals in 5 games this EPL season, with 3 of them coming against Southhampton. With some injuries looming on both sides, I’m not sure exactly what to expect in this matchup, although I do not see their being a lot of scoring.

Best Bet: Man U/Tottenham Under 3.5 (-128) MyBookie

Of course, we’re betting on another under. Look, neither of these offenses have been overly impressive. I mentioned Manchester United netted 7 goals they other day, but against who? Barnsley? Who the hell is Barnsley? Woohoo, you beat up on some no name club. Congratulations.. I guess? Anyways, I trust Tottenham’s backline to perform on the road. They are only allowing 1 goal per match in EPL play this season, with a home shutout to their name against Everton. With some of Tottenham’s top attackers being injured, I think they play a conservative matchup, possessing the ball as much as they can and limiting Manchester United’s chances.

I see the Spurs focusing heavily on defense, considering Son Heung-Min will likely sit after being injured in their Europa League match this week. We took a bit of a pillow by bumping this up to 3.5, but MyBookie was giving up -128 when the rest of the market wanted -135 for that price. I see this being a bit of a stale game, as if you were eating some bland meat. Not much flavor, not much spice, certainly nothing to get excited about.

And that will be perfect for our under.
