Tottenham and Manchester United are two teams in crisis and are arguably the biggest underperformers this season. Their fall from grace has been well-documented, and their current standings are a far cry from any ambitions either might harbour. As everything stands right now, this is a must-win game for both teams.

Ange Postecoglou is put in a job-threatening position as a loss against The Red Devils can potentially cost him his spot in Spurs. Tottenham have been eliminated from both the FA & Carabao Cups last week, which only further piles up the pressure on the Australian as these two competitions presented the most realistic chance for silverware this season. In the Premier League, the situation is looking bleak as well – Spurs are currently on a 7-game winless streak at home. What all of those have in common is that Postecoglou’s side managed to both score and concede. The most recent 5 of this streak also produced over 2.5 goals. Yet, despite managing to find the net constantly, Spurs’ defence has been their Achilles heel this season.
Manchester United Team News
The situation in United isn’t any brighter, as Ruben Amorim has a plethora of problems on his hands as well. While his job doesn’t share the same insecurity as that of Postecoglou, the mere fact that The Red Devils are 14th and much closer to the relegation zone than Europe speaks volumes of the downfall. United is also in desperate need of points, as their most recent Premer League game was another disappointment – a 0-2 home loss to Crystal Palace. However, the team’s last win did come on the road against Fulham, with a surprising 2-2 draw at Anfield preceding it. If we are to look at United’s travel in recent weeks, it doesn’t look that bad as slotted between the games against Fulham and Liverpool was an FA Cup triumph over Arsenal at The Emirates as well.
Head-to-Head-Games
Spurs have had quite a bit of success in their recent meetings with United, as they have won 3 of the last 5 H2H matches between the two. The Red Devils have no victories in this period, with their last triumph over Tottenham dating back to 2022. Three of the last 5 H2H fixtures produced over 2.5 goals and goals from both sid, es while Spurs have won their previous two meetings with United this season.

Tottenham Hotspur – Manchester United Betting Prediction
I am going with over 2.5 goals and both teams to score here. Tottenham and United are under severe pressure for points and results as their seasons have been hugely underwhelming. Spurs’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, is also facing the very real possibility of being fired should he lose this game,e which,h in my opinion, further adds to the tension and the must-win aura this fixture has. Tottenham has also failed to taste a Premier League victory at home for quite some time, even if their home games have been wildly entertaining. Meanwhile, United’s trips recently could be the highlight of their recent performances, but The Red Devils have already lost to Tottenham twice this season and will surely be motivated for the 3 points themselves. All of this leads me to believe that there will be goals here.
