Premier League Prediction Manchester United vs Tottenham
On Monday, August 27, 2018, Manchester United will host Tottenham Hotspur for the top match of the third Premier League game day at 21:00 CET. Here are the second and the third of the preseason in direct duel – and thus two teams that have again this season the claim to make it into the top four of the highest English league, in order to also in the season 2019 / 20 again to play in the Champions League, where you will also be stuck in the pottons next Thursday when the groups of the preliminary round are determined in Monaco. But before that, Monday night’s game is about securing three important points in the Premier League. In terms of odds Manchester United against Tottenham only very thinly favored, which is ultimately due only to the home advantage. All in all, two teams face each other at eye level, which is expected to create an exciting game. To tell you how to best tap this week’s top match, let’s tell you at the end of the story in our forecast for Manchester United versus Tottenham Hotspur.
Especially for the Red Devils it is already early in the season to make amends, because last Sunday they conceded away at Brighton & Hove Albion a very bitter 2: 3 defeat, through which the impression, it fit these days not in the Team of the English record champion, has further strengthened. So José Mourinho recently criticized almost everything. From the transfer policy of his superiors, who would not have fulfilled him alleged player wishes, about individual players (specifically Anthony Martial, whose departure is more likely) to the US trip this summer, in the context of which, among other things, a 1: 4 Smash caught against Liverpool FC. The fact that they have also experienced the first bitter setback in the league and after four games with already conceded four goals, although just the defensive is the heart of the club, not a few club-facing observers, the worry lines on the forehead. Tottenham Hotspur is doing a lot better these days. With two victories to kick off, in which the superstars Harry Kane and Dele Alli have met again, you have met the target so far and is therefore to be found in the top flight of the Premier League, in which you want to stay. But in the first major challenge to Newcastle and Fulham, a victory over the reigning runner-up would be required.
Can Tottenham Hotspur land this coup at Manchester United? Or are the Red Devils reporting back impressively, proving that the blunder in Brighton was just an exception of no importance? To find out, let’s take a closer look at the teams.
Manchester United – Actually an intact and strong team
Although Jose Mourinho has also criticized, among other things, he gave his bosses a list of five players, of which he probably has not got one, but on the other hand, one has to say that there was no need for further transfers. After all, ManU has only submitted additional players and even cashed in on the departure of Sam Johnstone and Daley Blind even good money. And with midfielder Fred, substitute goalkeeper Lee Grant and Portuguese Under-21 star Diogo Dalot, the squad was in turn extended to players who should sooner or later reinforce an actually intact and strong team in a very meaningful and consistent manner. It is all the more incomprehensible that the coach, whose allures are well-known at the latest after the historic “I am the special one” press conference during the change to Chelsea London in the Premier League, breaks many of these issues and makes a big difference Brings disquiet to his team, which has now also manifested in poor results. Already in the kick-off match against Leicester City it was due to the early penalty goal of World Champion Paul Pogba that from then on only the game had to be managed, with the foxes having had more of the game in the end. Luck that you did not have against Brighton. All the more problematic: against a well-rehearsed and highly decorated troop like Tottenham even luck may not be enough. Now it’s up to the star ensemble from Manchester to show their colors.
Tottenham Hotspur – Eingesheitheit as a factor of success
Tottenham Hotspur has done absolutely nothing in this summer transfer window, which is known to be closed in the UK. Backup striker Vincent Janssen has returned from Fenerbahce after a year of lending. That’s it! Zero departures, zero new entries. And yet, the Spurs, who have not won a title for 58 years now, again as co-favorites in the championship fight – but at least as a hot contender for a Champions League starting place. After all, they have finished the last three seasons always in the top three, so it has become a real world team under coach Mauricio Pochettino and was officially the most consistent Premier League team alongside Manchester City. A team, however, which should slowly but surely finally succeed in the first title. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fight back year after year against all the advances made by the coaches and players and to keep the squad together, whose huge advantage is clearly the integrity. At the 2018 FIFA World Cup, moreover, in the match for third place between Belgium and England, most of the players were on the pitch, while captain Hugo Lloris even became world champion in the end. If one wants to search for the critical needle in a haystack, then one could at most state that the numerous stops of players within the framework of the soccer world championship made the preparation for the season somewhat more difficult. After all, some stars have just returned from their summer vacation just a few weeks ago. However, as you have presented in the first two games, it is unlikely that the Spurs should get so fast problems …
