Analysis: Man United Draw No Bet (-125)
Despite Tottenham`s recent strong record against Man United, being undefeated in their last five meetings, the expert believes Manchester United`s extensive experience in high-stakes tournament matches could provide them with a slight edge. Green notes that both managers have recently rested key players, suggesting they are prioritizing this final. He anticipates a potentially tight contest due to the significant stakes but points to Man United captain Bruno Fernandes as a player who could influence the outcome.
Analysis: Under 2.5 Total Goals (-118)
Green highlights Manchester United`s relatively low scoring rate in league play, where they have averaged just 1.14 goals per game. Additionally, Tottenham will be missing key attacking threats Dejan Kulusevski and James Maddison due to injuries. Green predicts the match could be “a relatively tight, nervy affair, as the stakes are extremely high, and both teams will be desperate to avoid defeat.”
