Tottenham Struggles Persist, But Goals Markets Offer Value
Tottenham’s Tough Run Continues
Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham are enduring a difficult season, managing just two wins in their last 10 competitive matches. Their 5th-place finish last season feels like a distant memory as Spurs languish in the bottom half of the Premier League, 11 points off the top four.
Despite the downturn, Postecoglou refuses to deviate from his attacking philosophy. His high-risk, high-reward approach has drawn criticism from some pundits, with Jamie Carragher suggesting, “nobody has ever won anything playing like that.” However, the Aussie manager remains steadfast, focusing on his players’ reactions rather than results.
Spurs vs Newcastle: A Goal-Heavy Contest Looms
Postecoglou’s men return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to face Newcastle, a fixture that promises excitement. Spurs have averaged 2.5 goals per game at home this season, with their attacking prowess ranking among the league’s best. However, their high defensive line remains a vulnerability, especially against a Newcastle side fresh off a commanding 2-0 win at Old Trafford.
Eddie Howe’s men are in sensational form, scoring 16 goals in their last five competitive matches. With both teams favouring an attacking style, this clash could mirror last season’s high-scoring encounter, where Spurs triumphed 4-1.
Liverpool Clash: More Goals on the Horizon
Following their Newcastle matchup, Spurs face Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-final. History suggests another goal-laden affair, with their last league meeting ending 4-2 in Liverpool’s favour and a December cup clash producing a 6-3 thriller for the Reds. Both teams to score and over 3.5 goals landed in both matches, reinforcing the value of this betting market.
Final Thoughts
While Tottenham’s form may concern fans, their matches consistently deliver goals. Whether against Newcastle or Liverpool, the Both Teams to Score & Over 3.5 Goals market offers excellent value for bettors. With Postecoglou’s attacking philosophy unlikely to change, expect more high-scoring spectacles from Spurs
