Odds comparison, Tottenham v United: Red Devils away machine

Fundamental challenge in Champions League key between Tottenham and Manchester United. And if the Red Devils are confident enough about their placement, the Spurs can no longer afford to drop points

BACKGROUND AND STATISTICS

—

After 6-1 in the first leg, Spurs could also beat Man Utd in the return leg for the first time in the league since 1989/90. Furthermore, Manchester United have only won one of their last eight Premier League away games against Tottenham (4N, 3P): 1-0 at Wembley in January 2019.

THE MOMENT

—

Man United have not lost in 22 league away games (14W, 8N): only Arsenal between August 2001-September 2002 (23 games) and April 2003-September 2004 (27 games) recorded a longer series of unbeaten away from home in the history of the English top flight. But Tottenham have won their last three Premier League home games, scoring at least two goals in each case, and have fallen short of four straight home wins with 2+ goals scored since May 2017 (a streak of seven that includes a 2-1 against Man Utd). José Mourinho could become the first former Manchester United manager since Dave Sexton in 1981/82 with Coventry City to win both games of the season against the Red Devils after leaving the club. When it comes to goals, also pay attention to Harry Kane, who could reach 20 goals this season for the fifth time in the Premier League (after 2017/18, 2016/17, 2015/16 and 2014/15), thus becoming only the fourth player in the history of the competition to do so.
