Manchester United v Tottenham Betting Tips [29 September 2024]

Tottenham Hotspur will visit Old Trafford on Sunday to face Manchester United, looking to bag a fourth straight win. The Red Devils have had shaky few weeks and facing Spurs doesn’t ease matters a lot. Let’s look at the stats going into this match and a prediction. Manchester United have this season been the epitome of inconsistency. They seemed to have turned a corner after scoring 10 times in wins over Southampton and Barnsley. Then they were responding to two straight defeats, but have slumped again to straight draws in their two latest matches. The more optimistic home fans will point to a four-match unbeaten run as a sign of improvement. However, it is clear that against Twente in the 1-1 draw, United were underwhelming. It was a similar case against Crystal Palace earlier.

Tottenham have given an impressive response to their loss in the North London derby. They come into this game with three straight wins. Their most recent result came under tough circumstances, Spurs forced to play with 10 men against Qarabag after Radu Dragusin’s early red card. They won that Europa League game 3-0 nonetheless. It was the second straight game they scored three goals in and Spurs will be confident for this. Since their loss to Arsenal, the visitors have scored eight times and conceded two. Spurs will bank hopes on their recent run against United. In their last three meetings with their hosts, Spurs are unbeaten, winning once.

Manchester United will be looking to avoid back-to-back home losses in the Premier League. The same will be the target for Spurs, whose last away league game ended in defeat at Newcastle United.

The story of these two sides has been of inconsistency and both will be at pains to address it. Two of their last three meetings ended in draws and United are coming from consecutive draws as well.

Going by the teams’ recent runs, our prediction for Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur is for a draw.
