Tottenham vs Manchester United Odds

*Odds taken June 18, 2020.

Harry Kane In, Dele Alli Out

One of the reasons why Tottenham is in eight position (out of possible 20) is that this team was struggling with injuries earlier in the season. The side that reached the final of the Champions League a year ago was without their best player Harry Kane for a long time.

He got injured on the first day of 2020, after which he missed 15 matches. Kane got over his injury during the COVID-19 suspension, but he’s still far from being 100% fit to play. Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho probably isn’t going to include him in the starting lineup, but Kane might feature in the second half as a substitute.

It’s a similar situation with Heung-Min Son, Tottenham’s second-most prolific scorer (after Kane). The Spurs’ third-top scorer Dele Ali will also have to miss the clash with Man Utd. The reason is not an injury, but a suspension.

Champions League Dreams of the Red Devils

Manchester United is currently in fifth place, which may lead straight to the Champions League if the UEFA decides to banish Manchester City from the competition. As Man City is likely to finish second, another place might open up in the Premier League that would lead to the elite continental competition.

Of course, the Red Devils don’t want to rely on luck. Instead, they want to secure a place in the Champions League by getting to the fourth position. To get there, they need to leapfrog Chelsea, a team that currently has only three points more. What this means is that winning is a priority for Ole-Gunnar Solskjaer’s boys.

Tottenham vs Manchester United Picks

Manchester United has shown that it has what it takes to beat Tottenham. The Red Devils beat them in December, but also on two other occasions in 2019. An important thing to say is that in their previous meeting, the Red Devils were without several of their key men, including Paul Pogba.

Furthermore, back in 2019, Bruno Fernandes was still playing for Sporting Lisbon. Today, he’s one of Man United’s crucial players.

Our Pick: Manchester United

Tottenham vs Manchester United Prop Bets

Manchester United should win this one, but it’s not going to be an easy game. The Spurs’ manager is famous for the Mourinho bus which he likes to part in front of the goal. That said, finding the net against Tottenham is going to be a very difficult job for the Red Devils.

For that reason, you better aim for bets focused on a low number of goals, such as the following:

• Manchester United to win 1-0 (+750)
• Half Time/Full Time Draw/Manchester United (+450)
• Tottenham vs Manchester United – Time of First Goal: 71st to 80th Minute (+1600)
