Tottenham vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting Tips (19 December)

Still looking for their first trophy in the cupboard, Tottenham could well aim for this EFL Cup as a launching pad but this part will not be easy to negotiate. As a bonus, Spurs have not been convincing at home in recent weeks, having been in four matches without success in all competitions against Ipswich defeat 1-2, AS Roma in C3 2-2, Fulham in PL 1-1 and recently for the reception of the Chelsea Blues in a wonderful 3-4 defeat. We can even announce that Tottenham, before facing Rangers in C3 last Thursday, and Southampton in the league during the weekend, had won only one of their last six meetings in all competitions. We will still remember that the Londoners took out the big piece Man City in the previous round at home 2-1. Opposite us, we find one of the biggest clubs in the country, but a modest team now, Manchester United.

Ruben Amorim, who recently arrived from Sporting, himself confirmed that it was a big club, but a small team. He is right, no longer champion of England since 2013, Man U must be content with national competitions to hide the internal slump with in particular, an FA Cup championship title last year, won against City at the same time. In the Premier League, under the leadership of Ten Hag at the start of the season, the Red Devils shimmered with the 2nd half of the table and still occupy it following their two consecutive defeats against Arsenal at the Emirates 2-0, and Nottingham Forrest at Old Trafford 2-3. Last weekend, United went to the Etihad to challenge their neighbor in bad shape, Manchester City to follow, in the wake of an important meeting in the Europa League on the lawn of Viktoria Plzen to follow, a week decisive for the Mancunians. 

Having just returned from injury against Chelsea, Argentinian international Romero relapsed against the Blues by leaving prematurely in the first half. The latter therefore once again joined boys like the starting goalkeeper Vicario, the Brazilian striker Richarlison, the Frenchman Odobert, and Ben Davies in the infirmary. Arriving for more than 60 twigs from Bournemouth, Solanke slammed 5 goals and offered 2 assists in the PL. Let's also note the good season of Brennan Johnson (6 pawns in PL) without forgetting Maddison (5 goals, 4 PD), and of course, the presence of the South Korean international Son (4 goals, 4 offerings).

Ruben Amorim will have to compose his group without the defensive players Evans, Lindelöf, and Shaw, all three injured. For the rest, it will be classic with in particular the Argentinian crack Garnacho, author of 3 goals and 3 assists in the competition, without forgetting to mention the scorer Holjund (5 TCC goals), Bruno Fernandes (2 goals, 2 PD in EFL ), or Rashford, Eriksen, and Casemiro, all scorers at least once in this edition of the English League Cup.
