Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Tottenham?
After the whirlwind that was Antonio Conte last season as coach and without Harry Kane, Tottenham bet on a not so well known coach, like the Australian Ange Postecoglou, and gave continuity to a roster that remained in debt.
The Spurs drew 2-2 with Brentford in the first Premier League matchday, a valuable point considering that the rival is a very tough team that aspires to qualify for European competitions. New signings such as goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario, winger Destiny Udogie, defender Micky van de Ven, and midfielder James Maddison saw action and showed interesting qualities, which may excite the fans who are waiting for Kane’s replacement since the striker in the last meeting was a, still poor, Richarlison.
Last season the Londoners finished eighth, with 63 goals conceded, the worst record among the top 10 in the league, so the coach will bet on the central pairing of Van de Ven and Cristian Romero, who was out with a concussion against Brentford.
Postecoglou will be without Uruguayan midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur and winger Ryan Sessegnon.
Why Bet on Manchester United?
Manchester United showed signs of improvement during the last season with the arrival of coach Erik ten Hag, who imprinted an idea of the game and got in Casemiro the positive leader the club needed on the pitch, maximizing the performances of players such as Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.
The Red Devils kicked off the Premier League with a 1-0 victory over Wolves at Old Trafford, after a goal from French defender Raphael Varane and a great defensive performance from the team as a whole.
191 million euros were spent in the market for United and they got goalkeeper André Onana, midfielder Mason Mount, and striker Rasmus Hojlund, who could be fundamental pieces in the starting team, but the latter is injured.
The departure of defender Harry Maguire to West Ham it’s in a tightrope, as well as the future of midfielder Donny van de Beek, who should leave the club to get some playing time.
Final Betting Analysis: Tottenham vs. Manchester United
Although Tottenham had some interesting aspects in their game, there are still many doubts about the defensive level of the team coached by Postecoglou. Meanwhile, Manchester United also has many issues, but they were victorious against a team that is awful at defining chances.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have Manchester United as the favorite, as the Moneyline for them shows +129, meanwhile Tottenham has +200 and the draw is +240.
The last game in London between these two teams ended in a 2-2 draw. Pedro Porro and Heung Min-Son scored for Spurs, while Jadon Sancho and Marcus Rashford scored for the visitors. We should note that the Red Devils have five games without losing when visiting the Lilywhites. In this context, we believe in another heart-stopping draw for this weekend.
Go for a straight win for Manchester United in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 at +129, you will gain $129 for a total payout of $229.
