Skinner’s structured approach can test Tottenham’s press
Match context
Tottenham Hotspur Women have lost their way a bit and Manchester United Women are on a rough patch of their own, making Sunday’s match a tough call for both sides and the gamblers. The Red Devils can edge the result, however, because they can cope with Tottenham’s aggressive, high-risk approach and play with the confidence of a team that have been in consistent top-four contention under Marc Skinner.
Manager's approach
The Manchester United manager has installed a disciplined, structured approach to the game since taking charge in 2021 and has continued to get a tune out of a club that has consistently remained in the upper echelon of the Women’s Super League. The Red Devils are fourth with 38 points from 19 games while Tottenham are fifth with 29 points.
Head-to-head
In terms of head-to-head, Manchester United will probably favour the result with three wins from the last five meetings between the two sides - and Tottenham without a win during that time. Their most recent clash was a dramatic 3-3 draw at Manchester United's home, which would be a decent correct score prediction for Sunday’s clash if it weren’t for Spurs’ rotten recent form.
Tottenham are out of sorts
Spurs' form and tactics
Martin Ho’s side have lost their four most recent games and have won just one of their last five in all competitions. Ho took over in July of 2025 and has immediately gone for a vertical, transition-based approach where the front line presses intensely to win the ball high up the field and the team look to play at pace.
Tactical battle and betting
- There is a lot of risk in this approach and it is an all-or-nothing style of play that could be very difficult to sustain over the course of the season.
- Manchester United, on the other hand, build through the thirds, play compact in defensive shape and can disrupt Tottenham’s plans by moving the ball away from the press with an extra player.
- United are without a win in their last two away games, drawing once and losing once, but they can claim the spoils against a disjointed and out-of-form Spurs outfit.
- Back the away team at 1.66 for the win.
High-scoring game likely in north London
There should be lots of space for both teams to attack in this one with Manchester United, at least, capable of exploiting the gaps that Tottenham leave at the back. This could develop into a high-scoring affair and the odds on over 2.5 goals at 1.62 seem a bit on the short side given both teams’ defensive records of late.
