Tottenham Hotspurs vs Manchester United Football Predictions and Betting: Recent form

It almost looked like it was their lucky year to win the title until everything started falling apart at the end of 2020. The side that was topping the group for most part of October and November is now struggling to get back in the reckoning for a Champions league spot.

They are currently sitting in 6th spot with 14 triumphs and 9 defeats so far. In the last two months, they have lost games against Chelsea, Liverpool, Brighton, West Ham, Arsenal and Man City that put their manager Jose Mourinho under a lot of pressure. In their last game against New Castle, they were forced to settle for a draw.

On the other hand, Manchester United were slow starters but managed to find their A game at the right time. This has helped them stay in the top 2 of the points table with a finite chance to grab the premier league title. To further enunciate this, they haven’t lost a premier league game since that loss to Sheffield United in January and have won against teams like Man City, West Ham and New Castle.

In their last outing against Brighton, Rashford and Greenwood scored one goal each to close the gap to 14 points with one less game played so far. They are looking to keep Leicester at bay with 3 points on Sunday.
