Tottenham v Manchester United Carabao Cup Betting Tips 19/12/24

Tottenham and Manchester United go head-to-head in the Carabao Cup quarter-final on Thursday, so here’s our Tottenham v Manchester United Carabao Cup Betting Tips. Both sides head into this competition after decent weekend results and will hope to build momentum. The two clubs will be eager to claim silverware this season, particularly Spurs, who haven’t won a major trophy since 2008. Who will come out on top and progress to the final four? This match kicks off at 8p.m at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. It will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Form and Team News

Tottenham have been in patchy recent form, with just two victories in their previous seven. The North Londoners were on a six-match winless run, including defeats against Bournemouth (1-0) and Chelsea (4-3). Ange Postecoglou’s side responded positively to their winless run on Sunday and thrashed Southampton 5-0 away. Man United are starting to find rhythm under Ruben Amorim and have won four of their last six. Wins over Bodo/Glimt (3-2) and Everton (4-0) came before defeats to Arsenal (2-0) and Nottingham Forest (3-2). United hit back with consecutive victories last week. They came back from a goal down in each win, first beating Viktoria Plzen 2-1 and then edging Manchester rivals Man City 2-1 away.

Spurs still have several players out through injury and suspension. Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended and isn’t available until Boxing Day. Guglielmo Vicario, Richarlison, Ben Davies, Destiny Udogie, Wilson Odobert, Cristian Romero and Micky Van de Ven are injured and unavailable. United are faring better in the injury departing, as Mason Mount and Luke Shaw are their only injury concerns.

Match Winner Bet

The bookies’ pre-match Spurs vs United odds have this one as a potentially close match. Tottenham are the narrow favourites, however, due to their home advantage They also beat United 2-0 in the last meeting in North London and AK Bets has the best odds for a home win at 7/5. A draw has 3/1 odds, provided by VBet. This might not be a bad shout, considering Spurs have drawn three of their previous six, with two stalemates at home in their last two. United are no stranger to drawing on the road either, securing a stalemate in five of their previous nine away. But we can see United coming into this clash on a massive high following their rivalry triumph over City. In addition, Spurs have a deep injury crisis and Liverpool coming up at the weekend, so Postecoglou may rotate heavily on Thursday. This could give United an opening, and an away win comes with good potential value. Betfred have the best odds for a Red Devils win at 9/5.

Over/Under Goals Betting

Tottenham and Manchester United haven’t struggled for goals recently, and another high scorer is expected on Thursday. Spurs found their attacking rhythm during their 5-0 triumph over Southampton. The North Londoners have been involved in some big results at home recently too, drawing 2-2 with Roma and losing 4-3 to Chelsea in two of their last three. United have also been free-flowing in the EFL Cup this season. The Red Devils put seven past Barnsley in their opening fixture and played out another seven-goal thriller in round two, where they eventually edged Leicester to a 5-2 victory. Currently, there’s little value in going for over 2.5 goals, so stretching to over 3.5 in the total goals market looks appealing. At 21/20, Boylesports has the best value here.

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

We might see some rotation during this Carabao Cup game, but Spurs and United still have enough attacking threats who could cover the anytime goalscorer market. Our first pick is the Red Devils’ captain Bruno Fernandes. The Portuguese playmaker spared United’s comeback at the Etihad on Sunday with a late penalty – his second goal in three games. Fernandes is United’s main set-piece taker and has been much more involved in goals since Amorim’s arrival, contributing to five goals in as many games. With 13/5 odds, Bet365 has the best value for Fernandes to score at any time on Thursday. An in-form Spurs player who was rested on Sunday’s win at Southampton is likely to return to the fold here. Brennan Johnson came on for the second half at St Mary’s and the Welshman has been scoring consistently this season, netting 10 in all competitions. Johnson has also bagged two goals in his last three at home, and Paddy Power’s odds for the Spurs striker to score at 23/10 look like great value.
