Tottenham Hotspur will play host to Manchester United in their next league match as both teams look to stabilize in the league. The two sides sit side by side in the league standings, Spurs in 14th spot and United 13th. We have the prediction for the match.
Tottenham Hotspur are having a torrid season. This match finds them on 27 points; just 10 above the relegation region. A return of 13 defeats in their 24 league matches tells the story of their season.
They’ve only managed eight league wins and only one team outside the bottom three lost more matches than Spurs. In the last two games, they suffered elimination from both League Cup and FA Cup.
Manchester United haven't beaten Tottenham in their last five meetings but will come into this game more confident. The Red Devils have also had a poor run but winning four of their last five matches gives them a lift.
A 2-1 win over Leicester City in the FA Cup ensured they recovered from the 2-0 home loss to Crystal Palace. United are in better shape than Spurs and can only look at building on their run.
After playing to back-to-back away draws, United have won their last two matches and kept clean sheets in those two outings. Ruben Amorim’s side has, however, won only two of their last nine away Premier League matches.
There can’t be talk of underperforming teams in the Premier league this season without a mention of these two. If recent form has to be put in consideration, then Manchester United have improved massively, with four wins in the last five. Their last league match, however, ended in defeat against another London side, Crystal Palace.
Tottenham also beat a London side in their last league game but their form at home has been far from great. From their recent matches though, we do expect that both these sides will score. Our prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United is for Manchester United to win and both teams to score.
