Notably, Tottenham has scored 48 goals, making them the third-best attack in the current Premier League season.

In the last round, the Red Devils suffered another defeat in the league – their 11th this season. This time, they lost 0-2 at home to Crystal Palace. Note that in their last eight Premier League matches, Ruben Amorim's side has secured only two victories (1 draw and 5 losses).

Tottenham vs. Manchester United: Match Prediction
Both teams have underperformed this season, finding themselves in the lower half of the standings and out of contention for European spots. They have conceded many goals, but Tottenham has an edge with their superior attacking play, having scored 20 more goals than Manchester United. I believe that Tottenham's stronger attack will help them avoid defeat in the upcoming match.
Interestingly, in the first round, Ange Postecoglou's team thrashed their opponents 3-0 at Old Trafford. Additionally, Tottenham has not lost in their last three Premier League meetings with Manchester United, scoring two goals in each of those matches. It's worth noting that Manchester United has conceded at least two goals in 6 of their last 8 league games. Therefore, my prediction is Tottenham Individual Total Over 1.5.
