Manchester United vs Tottenham Stats-Based Bet Builder Tips: Mbeumo boon can bloom

Manchester United are chasing a fourth win in a row this Saturday, February 7 (12:30GMT) as they take on Tottenham Hotspur. Last season these teams made a mockery of the idea of the ‘big six’, with both finishing in the bottom six. But the Red Devils are riding a Michael Carrick-led resurgence, as the former Spurs man welcomes his old club to Old Trafford.

Read on for the Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur stats-based Bet Builder. It is all about the numbers.

Both teams to score

United might be looking more cohesive under interim boss Carrick, but one particular frailty remains. The Red Devils still concede more often than not, despite their improved points haul.

The 20-time champions have won their last two games 3-2, each needing a dramatic comeback after the grip started to slip. In fact, eight of United’s last 10 league games have seen both teams find the net. Only Newcastle United and Manchester City have failed to stick one past Senne Lammens.

Premier League Odds

Manchester United to win

United have performed well over the aforementioned period, with a record of five wins, four draws and a sole defeat in their last 10 Premier League outings. Three of those wins have arrived consecutively since Carrick took over.

If United make it four league victories on the bounce, it will be the first time since February 2024, when Erik ten Hag oversaw wins over Wolves, West Ham, Aston Villa and Luton Town. Beat Spurs and next week’s opponents West Ham United and that clout-chasing idiot with the hair will finally get a buzzcut and go away forever.

Bryan Mbeumo to score anytime

While the bulk of the attention has been on the dugout, the biggest difference in United’s last three games has arguably been up front. The return of Bryan Mbeumo from the Africa Cup of Nations has been transformative.

Mbeumo scored against Man City in his club comeback before adding another strike the following week against Arsenal. A busy display against Fulham showed the threat Mbeumo carries.

The Cameroon international is United’s top league scorer this season with eight in 19 games. He has also attempted more shots than any other Red apart from Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha. This is a player who looks to make things happen. The things that usually happen are goals.
