United Face Low-Scoring Spurs at Old Trafford
Manchester United sit 12th after five games while Tottenham languish bottom with just two points. The visitors have managed only 0.4 goals per game overall and none away from home, failing to score in four of their five league matches. United average 2.5 goals scored at Old Trafford but concede 1.5 there, and their own matches have produced three or more goals in just two of five outings. Tottenham’s recent results show three defeats in five, with both teams finding the net in only one of those fixtures. Head-to-head meetings have gone over 2.5 goals in five of the last ten encounters, leaving room for a controlled contest. United’s home form includes two clean sheets in their last three league games at the stadium. Expect the game to hinge on whether Tottenham can create clear chances against a United side that rarely concedes heavily at home.
