The Key Betting Stats: Ronaldo v Kane - Spurs v United

This weekend is a matchup of two teams struggling to find their form, with Manchester United hoping to bounce back from one of their most embarrassing defeats in club history, as Tottenham Hotspur come off the back of losing their fourth consecutive London derby this season.

Even though these teams are struggling, Cristiano Ronaldo and Harry Kane are that good they could easily drag their teams to wins by themselves and with both their sides struggling to supply them so far this season, they might have to do just that.

This season this far has been a real struggle for Kane. In truth, he hasn’t been able to fit himself in new manager Nuno Espirito Santo’s tactics at all. So far this season, Kane has only been able to manage one Premier League goal in his eight games so far this season, compared to Ronaldo managing three goals in his six matches so far this season.

Winner: Ronaldo

A problem for Kane this season has been that he is only averaging 2.3 shots per game, compared to his 3.9 last season. Ronaldo, however, is averaging 4.2 shots per game, which ultimately make him more likely to have more shots on goal and given how he is dragging United along right now, expect him to keep on shooting and shooting

Neither player has had a headed goal so far this season in the Premier League, but in other competitions, Ronaldo has scored three headed goals in other competitions this season, most notably with his late winners against Ireland and Atalanta. Surely this means Ronaldo’s first headed goal in this season’s Premier League will only be a matter of time.

Even though United's number seven has 1.9 more shots per game than Kane right now, he has only averaged only 0.2 shots on target more per game, with the Spurs man taking more high-quality shots than Ronaldo.

Winner: Kane

Cristiano Ronaldo nowadays is a poacher as all his goals come from inside the box this season. This was further echoed in Serie A last season, with him only scoring once from outside of the box, compared to Kane, who netted four goals from outside of the box in the Premier League last season.

The England captain in the last couple of seasons has become much more of a playmaker, and even though this season he has been off form, he has still been more of a playmaker than Ronaldo. Thus far, Kane is averaging 0.9 chances created per game this season, compared to the ex-Juventus star's 0.7 chances created per game. Kane subsequently has one assist this season with 'CR7' not registering an assist so far this season.

Both of these players are great at scoring with their weaker feet, with Ronaldo scoring six league goals last season with his left foot and Kane scoring three goals with his left foot last season. So far this campaign, all of Spurs' main man's goals this season have come with his right foot, compared to Ronaldo, who has only one goal so far this season with his weaker foot.

So, if Ronaldo is to score, back it to be his right foot.
