Despite Manchester United’s goalless draw at Selhurst Park last weekend, the bookies anticipate that the net will bulge several times when they clash with Tottenham. The Premier League betting sites make BTTS Yes massive odds-on and the same applies to Over 2.5 Goals, with the visitors sure to adopt an attacking approach.
Tottenham have scored nine goals in their five games played so far, with Dominic Solanke returning from injury to make an impact against Brentford. Aside from the North London derby against Arsenal, Spurs have managed to find the net against all their other opponents and they are sure to play on the front foot.
When the two teams last met, they played out a 2-2 draw at Old Trafford in January, with the visitors dominating possession and having more shots on target. It’s hard to work out Manchester United considering that a 3-0 home defeat against Liverpool was followed by a 3-0 victory at St Mary’s, while they dominated the opening exchanges at Selhurst Park.
Perhaps Marcus Rashford will return to the starting lineup, with Rasmus Hojlund also on the bench in south London and they are viable attacking options. It’s hard to be too convincing about either of these sides landing a victory and it could be worth adopting a goals angle as an alternative, with Kobbie Mainoo looking to break up the Spurs attacking play.
