Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions
Here is a preview with stats, predictions and betting tips ahead of Manchester United’s Premier League clash with Tottenham on Monday
The 2018/19 Premier League season continues this weekend and the final match in the third round of fixtures will be played on Monday night. It’s a massive game at Old Trafford as two of the top four contenders, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur go head-to-head.
Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur Odds
Manchester United have made a shaky start to the new Premier League campaign. The Red Devils defeated Leicester City in the first match of the season 2-1 at Old Trafford but things soon went downhill.
Jose Mourinho and his players received plenty of criticism for the way they played in the 3-2 loss at Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday afternoon. The defence made too many mistakes, the midfield failed to take control the match and the forwards failed to create enough clear goal scoring opportunities.
There has also been a lot of talk in the media over the future of Mourinho as Manchester United manager and midfielder Paul Pogba. None of this can help in preparation for the match yet United remain the narrow favourites to win the game.
The Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur odds at Bet365 have the home team at 6/5 to take maximum points.
Tottenham Hotspur have a 100% record in the Premier League this season having won both games. They started with a 2-1 win at Newcastle United and followed with a 3-1 win over Fulham at Wembley.
The news of a delay in the opening of their own stadium has put a downer on things for Spurs and they have lost Son Heung-Min to the Asian Games. However, their World Cup contingent have all returned and Harry Kane got off the mark last weekend, to break his record of not scoring in August.
Nevertheless, Tottenham Hotspur remain the slight outsiders to win this game with Bet365, priced at 9/5. The draw is also on offer at 9/4.
