Tottenham vs Manchester United: betting tip and bets with odds of 3.60

Current form

Tottenham's season has been mixed. At the start, we played successfully in the Premier League, confirming the status of one of the contenders for a place in the Champions League. However, Ange Postecoglou's team slowed down quickly enough, and injuries to many players intervened, especially in the defensive line. As a result, after almost half of the tournament's journey to the Premier League, the team lost its real chances of winning European Cup places in the championship and began betting on cup tournaments.

Tottenham performed well in the League Cup, where they managed to reach the semi-finals. At this stage, Liverpool was in contention. Even a 1-0 home win in the first game did not allow the Spurs to reach the finals, as they suffered a crushing defeat 0-4 away. Note that in the quarterfinals of this tournament, the Londoners passed their current opponent Manchester United (4:3). In addition, they beat the Red Devils in two head-to-head matches in the Premier League (3-0 away and 1-0 at home). We can say that the Mancunians have become a convenient opponent for Tottenham this season. In general, at the moment, the Londoners are on a six-match winless streak in head-to-head confrontations. Nevertheless, in the Premier League standings, Ange Postecoglou's team takes 17th place in the round before the finish, and goes one line higher in the United States. In the last round, the Londoners lost to Aston Villa with a score of 0:2.

In the Europa League, Tottenham confidently held the overall stage, finished in fourth place and received a ticket immediately to the 1/8 finals. It was at this stage that the Spurs suffered their only defeat in the entire playoffs, when they lost to AZ with a minimum score of 0:1 on the road. Then, in turn, they managed to deal with Eintracht (1:1 at home and 1:0 away) and Budeglimt (3:1 at home and 2:0 visiting). It is impossible not to pay attention to the fact that in the European arena, the Londoners were distinguished by their reliable defensive play: they conceded only 13 goals in the entire tournament, and in five matches they played to zero. Tottenham won their last trophy on the international stage back in the 1983-84 season, when they won the UEFA Cup.

Disqualifications and injuries

Tottenham have a lot of losses in the squad. Injuries to Lucas Bergvall and James Maddison are especially alarming, and it won't be easy in the midfield without them. Plus, Dejan Kuluszewski was also injured. Dragushin and Scarlett will not play in addition to them. Moore's entry into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• Tottenham have won six of their last eight matches in the Europa League.
• Tottenham have not conceded more than one goal in seven consecutive league matches.
• In four consecutive matches, taking into account all tournaments, the Spurs did not win in the first half.

Approximate line–up: Vicario - Porro, Romero, van de Ven, Udoji – Bissuma, Bentancourt, Sarr – Johnson, Solanke, Son.

Current form

Manchester United is having a similar season to Tottenham: failure in the Premier League and success in the Europa League. The main difference is that the team changed coaches during the season, and Eric ten Hag was replaced by Ruben Amorim from Sporting. From the point of view of results in the Premier League, the appearance of a Portuguese specialist did not lead to a correction of the situation. With the round before the finish, the Mancunians are in 16th place, scoring only 39 points. On the eve of the Europa League final, they lost to Chelsea on the road with a score of 0:1, and before that they lost at home to West Ham (0:2).

Manchester United also failed to prove themselves in the national cup tournaments. In the League Cup, he lost to Tottenham in the 1/4 finals, and in the FA Cup, he lost to Fulham in the 1/8 finals, losing in a penalty shootout.

In the Europa League, Manchester United went through the entire tournament without a single defeat. We managed to win eight matches in regular time, and there were draws in six more matches. It is impossible to ignore the fact that the Mancunians are the most productive team of the tournament with 35 goals scored. Amorim's team finished the League stage in third position, ahead of Tottenham by one point. At the 1/8 finals stage, Tottenham did not have any special problems with Real Sociedad (1-1 away and 4-1 at home). The quarterfinal clash with Lyon was the most unpredictable. Then Manchester United drew 2-2 away, there was also a draw at home with the same score. The French scored two goals in extra-time, it seemed that the Red Devils' tournament path would end there, but they scored three more goals in the end and thus made it to the semifinals. Athletic Bilbao was waiting for us at this stage. Everything was decided in the away game, when the Basques were ten down in the first half, lost 0:3, and in Manchester, Ruben Amorim's team scored another victory (4:1). It should be noted that Manchester United has a Europa League trophy in its collection – a triumph in the 2016/17 season, when they beat Ajax 2-0 in the final.

Disqualifications and injuries

Manchester United will not have Martinez, Dalot, Zirkzee, de Ligt and Yoro in the final. Evans' entry into the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• In 8 of the last 11 matches in the Europa League, Manchester United have won in regular time.
• In 10 of the 11 previous LE matches, the Red Devils scored at least two goals.
• Manchester United have not won in the first half in four matches in a row, taking into account all tournaments.

Approximate composition: Onana – Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof–Mazraoui, Ugarte, Fernandes, Dorgu–Garnacho, Fernandes –Hoylund.
