Manchester United face Tottenham in a game that usually has plenty of goals, we’ve seen 10 goals in their two meetings this campaign.
Spurs have seen BTTS in 83% of their home games . Rodrigo Bentancur is also likely to commit at least 1 foul as he has done in his last 7 league games. I’m tipping Both Teams to Score and Bentancur to have 1+ foul at 1.83.
Goals Galore
Both Man United and Tottenham have been involved in high scoring encounters lately, and their upcoming match is set to be no different. Three of United’s last five games have seen BTTS, Tottenham have a similar record with four of their last five matches. They have also demonstrated attacking threat, averaging two goals per game. However, they’ve been just as prone to conceding, by letting in 1.54 goals per game on average.
Man United have also struggled defensively this season. In fact, they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 of their 24 matches. With both sides having a leaky defence, we should see goals.
Bentancur’s Foul Count
Bentancur will likely feature prominently in Tottenham’s midfield. The Uruguayan is known for his combative style of play, and he has committed at least one foul in every match since November. In total, Bentancur has 12 fouls across these six games, averaging two fouls per match. His tendency to be involved in physical encounters suggests he will likely commit 1+ foul.
Both Team’s Form
Manchester United’s recent form has been a mixed bag. They’ve secured two wins, suffered two losses, and drawn once in their last five outings. Currently sitting in 13th place, United needs to find consistency if they hope to improve under new manager Amorim. A defeat to Spurs would further hinder their chances of a top half finish.
Tottenham currently sit in 14th place, just two points behind United. A win on Sunday would see them leapfrog the Red Devils.
Spurs have had an injury struck season with 11 first-team players sidelined. Defender Radu Dragusin recently provided an update on his ACL surgery. The injuries have forced Spurs to rely on their youth players adding further pressure to their already thin squad.
