The second matchweek of the Premier League season will feature a Big Six matchup between Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United. Both teams have undergone changes, with Spurs selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich and United making big signings in the summer.
In their opening matches, both teams had mixed results, with Spurs getting a draw on the road and United winning at home. The betting analysis suggests that there will be plenty of goals in this match.
Tottenham Hotspur started the season with a 2-2 draw against Brentford, while Manchester United narrowly won 1-0 against Wolves. Last season, these teams drew 2-2 in London and United won 2-0 at home. In the 2021-22 season, United won both matches against Spurs.
Tottenham has a new manager and a new style of play under Ange Postecoglou. However, they have not yet replaced Kane and are breaking in a new goalkeeper. In their opening match, both goals were scored by defenders. Spurs’ offense is led by Richarlison and Heung-Min Son, who have had success against United in the past.
Manchester United spent big in the transfer window but struggled offensively in their opener. Their ideal midfield includes new signing Mason Mount, Casemiro, and Bruno Fernandes. Marcus Rashford has been successful against Spurs in the past and will lead the attack.
Both teams have a number of players unavailable due to injury. Spurs’ Cristian Romero suffered a concussion in the opener and is unlikely to play this week. United will be without new signing Rasmus Hojlund and backup goalkeeper Dean Henderson.
The betting analysis suggests that both teams will score in this match, as they have done in six of their last eight league games. The average number of goals in their last ten games is 3.4. The prediction is that United will win 2-1.
Overall, this match promises to be an exciting encounter between two top Premier League teams.
