LiontipsManchester United vs Tottenham. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (March 12, 2022).
Command Analysis
This season, Manchester Unitedare experiencing a difficult campaign in the Premier League. They dropped out of the top-4 after their devastating defeat to cross-town rivals Manchester City (1:4). Before that, the Red Devils beat Leeds (4:2) and drew against Watford (0:0).
Today's hosts are fifth in the log with 47 points from 13 wins and eight draws. They are one point behind Arsenal, but the Gunners have three games in hand. Ralf Rangnick's side has the worst defense among top-10 teams, allowing 38 goals in 28 games.
In the Champions League, Manchester United enjoyed a successful group stage but couldn't beat Atletico Madrid (1:1) in the first knockout round. They will be hoping that the second leg will secure their ticket to the next round of the competition. In the FA Cup, Rangnick's team lost to Middlesbrough in a penalty shootout (1:2 P).
The hosts will be without Greenwood, Varane, McTominay, Shaw,and Ronaldo.
The Spurs could use a little luck this season. Tottenham had been doing well in the Conference League, too many players tested positive for COVID-19 before their last game against Rennes, and the team had to forfeit, thereby losing the chance to qualify for the playoffs.
Tottenham lost to Chelsea in the League Cup semifinals, and they were beaten by the same Middlesbrough (0:1) in the Round of 16 of the FA Cup.
According to the Premier League standings, Antonio Conte's side currently sits in 7th place with 45 points after 26 games. The Spurs have scored 40 goals this season but conceded over a goal per game on average. Tottenham crushed Leeds (4:0) and Everton (5:0) in their last two games.

Our prediction - Manchester United to win
Man United have won five of their previous ten games at Old Trafford by a narrow margin. As Tottenham are not in the habit of giving away points easily, we expect a tough battle for the hosts. Still, the Red Devils should capitalize on their home advantage and win this match.
