Manchester United hosts Tottenham in round 29 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, March 12th at Old Trafford (Manchester)
Manchester United is ranked fifth in the standings with 47 points. The Mancunians have 13 victories, eight draws, and seven losses after 28 rounds. They have long avoided defeats in the Premier League. Despite a large number of draws, the Red Devils scored points in eight matches in a row until last Sunday. On March 6, Manchester United disappointed its fans with a major away defeat to Manchester City (4-1). There was no serious struggle in the city derby: the Red Devils fought off the attacks of the reigning champions throughout the match and suffered their first major defeat in 2022. A goal by Jadon Sancho in the 1st half only slightly smoothed the negative impression of Manchester United’s game.

Tottenham is in seventh place in the Premier League standings with 45 points after 26 rounds. Antonio Conte's team gained 14 victories and three draws and suffered nine defeats. The Spurs are characterized by the instability of the results. For almost a month, they have alternated victories and defeats. Because of such results, they ingloriously left the FA Cup, losing to Middlesbrough away (1-0 after extra time). At the same time, Tottenham players can add to their asset the last Premier League match against Everton. The game in London on March 7 ended with a landslide victory for the Spurs (5- 0). Harry Kane made a brace, and Son Heung-min and Sergio Reguilon scored a goal each. Everton defender Michael Keane also helped the hosts, turning the ball into his own net at the beginning of the match.
Manchester United players need to redeem themselves in front of the fans for the failure in the derby, but it will be difficult to do this. Tottenham is unstable under Conte, but the Spurs know how to find motivation for top opponents, which was demonstrated by their recent match versus Manchester City (2-3). In addition, the Lilywhites will try to make up for a home romp in the game of the 1st round. Another circumstance against Manchester United is a complicated schedule. Last weekend, the Red Devils faced Manchester City, and three days after the game with Tottenham, they will host Atlético Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals. Such a busy schedule could harm the outcome of the game at Old Trafford.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with +0.5 handicap
