Manchester United 2, Tottenham Hotspur 0
Moneyline (ML)
MANCHESTER UNITED (+140) is a strong play on the road in this mid-week EPL clash.
The Red Devils have won 4 straight meetings with Tottenham (+175), and ManU has kept a clean sheet in 6 of the last 8 matches in EPL play. It has also won 4 of the last 5 trips to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with a draw on June 19, 2020.
One concern for ManU is the fitness of midfielder Bruno Fernandes, who is doubtful to play. He was seen with a walking boot and crutches recently.
Over/Under (O/U)
UNDER 2.5 (+115) might be the best play on the board at plus-money.
While the Spurs have cashed the Over 2.5 goals in 5 of the last 6 EPL matches, ManU has cashed the Under 2.5 goals in 5 consecutive matches. Tottenham will have a difficult time penetrating the net against ManU, which has 3 straight clean sheets in EPL play.
