Tottenham to win more corners
Manchester United to commit over 10 fouls
Expect an open, end-to-end game with plenty of chances. Spurs’ home matches average 3.5 total goals, and United’s defensive issues should allow Tottenham to dictate play.
Kulusevski has a favorable matchup against Dalot, making his shot on target a solid angle. United's attack leans heavily on Garnacho and Fernandes, who should both get multiple shot attempts.
Meanwhile, Spurs’ pressing style should lead to a corner advantage and force United into a high foul count.
Over 2.5 goals
Spurs’ home matches average 3.5 total goals.
United’s defensive transition is poor, leading to big chances for opponents.
Last 2 meetings: 4-3 and 3-0.
⚠️ Risk Factor: If United decide to sit deep and park the bus, it could reduce scoring chances.
💡 Given the defensive struggles on both sides, this is a strong pick.
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7/10)
Djed Spence to commit 1+ foul
6 fouls in his last 5 games (1.25 per 90).
Will be marking Patrick Dorgu, who draws nearly 3 fouls per game.
Key injury watch: If Destiny Udogie starts, this bet loses value.
💡 If Spence plays, this is a great under-the-radar bet as Dorgu is a foul magnet.
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (6/10)
Dejan Kulusevski 1+ shot on target
If Diogo Dalot plays LWB, Kulusevski could exploit him.
0.66 shots on target per 90, but could see an uptick due to United’s lack of defensive tracking.
United’s defensive shape is weak, especially if Mainoo and Ugarte are out.
💡 Kulusevski’s ability to cut inside and shoot should get him at least one on target.
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7/10)
Alejandro Garnacho 2+ shots & Bruno Fernandes 2+ shots
Garnacho: 51 shots in 23 PL games (2.2 per game).
Fernandes: 2.85 shots per 90, takes penalties & free kicks.
United’s thin attack means these two will take most of the shots.
Spurs’ attacking approach will leave counterattacking opportunities.
💡 Both players should be in good positions to take multiple shots, especially on the counter.
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7/10)
Tottenham to win more corners
Spurs average 7.5 corners per game, United just 5.04.
Amad Diallo’s absence weakens United’s attack, lowering their corner count.
Spurs at home should control the game and generate more set pieces.
💡 This bet stands out as one of the best angles given Spurs’ attacking setup.
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (8/10)
Man Utd to commit over 10 fouls
United averages 11.9 fouls per 90.
Spurs draw a league-high 12.4 fouls per game.
United’s lack of defensive shape leads to unnecessary fouls.
💡 With United’s chaotic midfield and Spurs’ quick tempo, this looks like a solid bet.
Confidence: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (7/10)
Final thoughts & best angle
Expect goals, chaos, and late drama. Spurs should control possession, but United will have chances on the counter.
