The best game of this round takes place at White Hart Lane with the last season runner-up, Tottenham, hosting Liverpool that wants to turn things around after a shameful defeat against Burnley in the previous round.
Tottenham presents almost the same squad as last year, with the team following the motto: “Do not change a winning team”. Their goal is to achieve the top 3 once again but things will be much harder this season, not only because their opponents have much better squads but also top coaches leading the team.
After playing in the Europa League in the past years, Tottenham will compete this season in the UEFA Champions League, which means that they won’t change as many players as they usually did on Europa League and that might affect their domestic campaign.
After presenting a very offensive team with Kane and the team’s big sign for this year, Vincent Janssen, we doubt that Pochettino uses the same approach in this game against Liverpool since they need to play with more cautious otherwise, they can be surprised like it happened to Arsenal in the first round.
On a week where the press talked a lot about a Chinese investor who is willing to spend 800M to buy the club, Liverpool has to clean their image after not scoring a single goal in a game where they had 80% ball possession.
After an excellent start with a victory against Arsenal in a frenetic game, the team suffered a 0-2 defeat on the newly promoted turf, Burnley, in a game where they dominated but couldn’t find the back of the net.
Klopp’s teams are usually much more intense on the 2nd season and we are sure that the same will happen here, with the Reds having the advantage of not playing any European Competition, which allows them to be fully focused on the English Premier League.
In a betting perspective, this is the kind of game where is very hard to pick anyone on the winners market but when looking into the odds we have to play Liverpool +0.25 at 1.86 Pinnacle, a line that allows us to grab money with two different outcomes and that is a great approach in a game that can go either way.
The last game between these two on this stadium ended with a draw to nil, a result that is far from expectable to occur this Saturday.
Both teams should score in this match however, the value presented on the market Both Teams to Score is very low and at these odds, we have to stay away but not without looking for a valuable alternative among the green listed bookmakers.
Harry Kane is priced at 2.50 Unibet to score at any time, which looks to be an interesting price when compared to the one presented by Coral at 2.00, a bookmaker that is much more protected in this market. However, that is not the only value odds on this market, Sadio Mané from Liverpool to score is currently priced at 3.45 at the same green listed bookmaker Unibet, a great offer that you should take advantage of.
These two are the players that should have more opportunities to score on this game and due to their price, we recommend you to take both which guarantees you profit if one of them scores and a jackpot in case both find the back of the net.
