LiontipsManchester United vs Tottenham. Predictions (odds 2.15) and betting options for the Premier League match on September 29, 2024.
Command Analysis
Current Form
Manchester United delighted their fans with a 3-0 victory over Southampton in the Premier League, followed by an impressive 7-0 win against Barnsley in the League Cup. It seemed the team would continue to ride this wave of success. However, they faced disappointing draws against Crystal Palace in the league (0-0) and Twente in the Europa League (1-1). One might lament luck or the missed chances, but that won’t add any points.
Manager Erik ten Hag clearly stated after the European match that the team should have scored a second goal, for which they ultimately paid the price. Overall, it cannot be said that the Red Devils appear weak on the pitch. The team creates numerous dangerous opportunities in nearly every match and often holds the advantage, but they do not always capitalize in crucial moments.
In the league standings, Manchester United sits in 11th place with seven points, level with today’s opponent. A victory would bring them closer to the European qualification zone.
Injuries and Suspensions
Unavailable for today's match are Shaw, Yoro, Lindelof, and Malacia due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- In their last 15 Premier League matches, Manchester United has only won twice in the first half
- In four of their last five matches, the Red Devils did not exchange goals with their opponents
- In four of their last five encounters, United players committed more fouls than their opponents
Projected Lineup: Onana – Mazraoui, de Ligt, Martinez, Dalot – Mainu, Ugarte – Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford – Hojlund.
Current Form
Tottenham has secured victories in their last three matches across all competitions, yet they faced challenges in each game that they managed to overcome. For instance, in the League Cup, they scored two late goals against Coventry to win 2-1. Recent European action saw them play a home match against Karabakh, during which they had to play with ten men from the eighth minute after Dragusin's red card, yet they still came out on top with a 3-0 victory.
In the Premier League, Ange Postecoglou's men have a modest seven points after five matches, placing them tenth in the standings. They achieved a 3-1 win over Brentford in their latest outing, although they suffered defeats against Newcastle (1-2) and Arsenal (0-1) prior to that. The Spurs have been inconsistent, making it difficult to predict their match outcomes.
Notably, star newcomer Solanke has gradually found his form after recovering from an ankle injury at the season's start. Dominic has made a mark by scoring against Brentford and Karabakh.

Due to injuries, Richarlison and Odobert will not participate today.

1.76Tip and bets
Since the start of the season, team performances have been unpredictable, making it challenging to place accurate bets on outcomes. On paper, these teams are evenly matched in terms of their line-ups and potential. Manchester United has faced difficulties in finishing, but Tottenham has also struggled at times. The Red Devils benefit from playing at home, which could be a decisive factor today, especially considering Tottenham has only managed one away win in their last eight Premier League matches. Additionally, in their last three encounters at Old Trafford, the London side has yet to secure a victory.
Our prediction is a win for Manchester United with an Asian handicap of (0) at odds of 1.79.
Bet on Total Goals
Both teams are struggling to convert their chances, so we expect no more than three goals today. In fact, only once in the last five matches involving these teams across all tournaments has more than three goals been scored.
Our second bet is for under 3.5 total goals with odds of 1.82
Bet on Corners
We believe the bookmakers may be overestimating the guest team's corner potential. In six out of the last seven encounters at Manchester, Tottenham did not exceed five corners.
Our prediction is for Tottenham's total corners to be under 5.5 with odds of 2.15
