Tottenham vs Manchester United Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 19th August 2023

Despite the advantage of playing at home, Tottenham will still feel the need to dig deep when taking on a team that ranked third last season in Manchester United for a round two match of the new Premier League campaign on Saturday.

Tottenham failed in their attempt to get the new season underway with a win, as they only managed to split the points in the premiere.

It didn't take Manchester United long to book their first win of this brand new Premier League season, as they claimed all three points in the opening round.

Tottenham step into their next home match this coming Saturday having scored a nice average of 1.9 goals in ten matches. They managed a total of 19 goals, while also allowing 24 goals against. That is an average of 2.4 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet once in those matches.

Manchester United hit the target 15 times in the last ten outings, which creates an average of 1.5 goals a game. They conceded 0.6 goals per match for a total of six goals, while claiming five clean sheets as well.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Prediction

Tottenham Form

Tottenham have seen it all in their last three matches, which gave them four points. Against Brentford, they came out empty-handed in a 1-3 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 1-4 win against Leeds. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 2-2 draw against Brentford. Tottenham won half of their previous six matches on home soil in the Premier League, while also drawing one. They suffered two defeats, while they scored 11 and conceded ten goals.

Tottenham are perhaps an outside bet at best for a title challenge in the league this term, but a top six finish certainty isn't unreachable.

Manchester United Form

Six points is Manchester United have to show from their past three matches, as they beat Fulham by 2-1. This was followed by a 2-1 defeat against Manchester City, before winning 1-0 against Wolverhampton. Manchester United, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn one and lost three in their last six away in the Premier League.

Manchester United go into a new season as candidates for the podium, but will count themselves lucky to achieve more than a third place.

Head-to-head encounters tend to bring out the best in both sides, when it comes to goals. We see no reason for this trend to end here, and we expect an entertaining match once again between Tottenham and Manchester United.
