General match analysis

Manchester United have won just 1 of their last 5 matches, while Tottenham have failed to win any during the same period and have lost 3 times. At home, United score an average of 2.5 goals and create chances worth 2.51 xG, while Tottenham allow opponents 1.9 xG on the road. The visitors are yet to score in two away matches, despite averaging 1.17 xG, pointing to a problem with finishing their chances. United average 24.5 shots at home compared to Tottenham’s 10 shots away, although their defence concedes 1.5 goals per match. United’s advantage in both the number and quality of chances makes them the more convincing side, but their inconsistent results leave a draw as a realistic possibility.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest case for BTTS - No is Tottenham’s away scoring record: an average of 0.0 goals scored and no goal in 100% of these matches. In their last 5 matches, the visitors averaged 0.6 goals, while Manchester United scored 1.8, further pointing to an imbalance in the teams’ chances of finding the net. Tottenham did, however, create chances worth 1.73 xG per match over this period, and United conceded an average of 1.4 goals, so an away goal cannot be ruled out. Even so, BTTS - Yes landed in 40% of Tottenham’s last 5 matches and did not occur in any of their away games, making it more likely that at least one team will fail to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Manchester United average 17 shots and post an xG of 1.92, while Tottenham allow opponents an xG of 1.90, giving the hosts a clear chance to score. The visitors’ potential is harder to convert into goals: they have averaged 0.6 goals in their last 5 matches, despite creating chances worth an average of 1.73 xG. Over the same period, United averaged 1.8 goals, while matches involving the two teams featured 3.2 and 2.2 goals respectively. Despite the hosts’ attacking potential, the Under 3.5 goals line is the stronger side: it has been landed in 67% of United’s analyzed matches and 100% of Tottenham’s. The 2.55-goal projection accounts for both the chances United create and the visitors’ weaker finishing, making a result with no more than three goals the most likely outcome.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Manchester United were drawing at half-time in 67% of their home matches, while Tottenham were level at the break in 50% of their away fixtures; neither team scored before half-time in those matches. After the break, the hosts average 0.67 goals at home, and both of their home goals so far came between the 76th and 90th minutes. United create more chances: their average xG is 1.92 compared with Tottenham’s 1.17, and they record 17 shots per match against Tottenham’s 10. Over their last five matches, the hosts averaged 1.8 goals, while the visitors averaged 0.6, supporting a United win after a closely contested first half. However, the risk of a draw remains significant, as United have yet to win any of the three home matches included in the sample.
