Tottenham welcome Man United to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday afternoon, in a clash that almost guarentees goals and drama. Remarkably, both sides go into this game nowhere near where they should be in terms of the table. Tottenham are sat 15th in the league, with Man United sat one place above them in 14th. Two points seperate the two sides who are significantly underperforming this campaign.
It’s almost guarenteed that when Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs side are involved, we see goals – especially in front of their home fans. This season Tottenham league games are averaging 3.54 goals per game, with this rising considerably to 4.17 goals per game at home. Tottenham have seen BTTS land in 10 consecutive home league games, finishing: 1-2, 1-2, 2-2, 3-6, 3-4, 1-1, 1-2, 4-1, 4-1 and 3-1. Ange Postecoglou has come under huge criticism this season failing to be flexible around his style of play, that has seen his side keep just 5 clean sheets in 24 games.
Today’s visitors are also having a massively underwhelming season, scoring goals has definitely been a concern for United this campaign. However, with Spurs’ style of play and evident defensive vulnerabilities, we are backing United to get on the scoresheet here – like all of Spurs’ last 10 visitors have. Having said this, United have actually scored in 8/9 games in all competitions and have won 6 of these.
These two sides met in the EFL Cup earlier on this season, which ended in an outstanding 4-3 win for Tottenham. The scoreline could be something similiar today. This is a fixture that has historically seen goals, with 2 or more goals in 12 consecutive meetings and BTTS landing in 9/12 of these.
We are pairing BTTS with Tottenham corners here. No side has recorded more corners in the Premier League than Tottenham – winning 180 corners in 24 games, averaging out at 7.50 per game. This averages out at 8.17 at home. Tottenham have won 5 or more corners in all 12 of their Premier League home games.
TIP: Both Teams to Score & Tottenham Over 4.5 Team Corners @ 2.00
