Take a look at the three best-backed bets for Manchester United v Tottenham on Saturday evening.
Arguably the two biggest underperformers in the Premier League so far this season, United have picked up just five points from a fixture list that has seen them face Hull City, Ipswich Town, Everton and Fulham, while Spurs are rooted to the foot of the table having failed to win any of their opening five games.
Spurs have looked good in spells but have struggled to find the back of the net, while Michael Carrick's men have had one good half of football all season, and that came at home to Ipswich.
Nevertheless, bet365 customers are siding with the Red Devils, seemingly not put off by the odds-on quote of 7/10, as the best-backed single as of Friday morning.
Neither side has been defensively robust; despite a kind fixture list, only five sides have allowed more shots on target than United this season, while Spurs shipped three against Aston Villa and Brentford, two at home to Newcastle and three at Liverpool in the EFL Cup.
United's last home clean sheet coincidentally came against Thomas Frank's Tottenham back in February, while Spurs have kept two clean sheets on their travels since New Year's Day.
As such, Both Teams to Score has been the second most popular pick at 8/15.
Despite United's woes, Bryan Mbeumo has been busy in front of goal, scoring twice so far this season and recording the joint-most shots (19) and the most shots on target (six) for Carrick's side, and the Cameroonian is well fancied to put Antonin Kinsky to the test.
bet365's Steve Freeth said: "Mbeumo clearly enjoys playing against Spurs. He has scored six goals against them in nine Premier League games—including in both matches last season—and backing him to register a shot on target this weekend features prominently in bet365 customer Bet Builders.
"It's a feat he's achieved in every game he's started so far this campaign."
Putting the three selections together in a Bet Builder returns a price of 11/4.
