THE crucial Premier League Easter football fixture start with a massive match for title chasing Tottenham when they host Bournemouth at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
Spurs, are doing everything they can in their pursuit of title favourites Chelsea at the top of the table and when you need to win every remaining game of the Premier League season a home clash against mid-table opposition, like Bournemouth would be high on your wish list.
Spurs\’ look to have learned from their slip-up in the title run-in last season and are impressively, they are still the only side in the top flight that can boast an unbeaten home record and one thing is certain is that they aren\’t going to lose that against the Cherries.
Mauricio Pochettino\’s side are the Premier League in-form team winning their last seven matches and all their last 11 at fortress White Hart Lane and the bookies are taking no chances at the weekend on them making them a very short 1.22 favourite to extend that winning run, which looks the coupon banker this weekend.
Spurs\’ boast the best defence record in the division conceding just EIGHT goals in their 16 home games, but although the reverse fixture finished 0-0 at the Vitality, this game promises a few goals.
Bournemouth are a massive 12.00 among green listed bookmakers to get the shock win and although they\’ve drawn at Old Trafford and Anfield in recent weeks, getting anything from this one looks beyond Eddie Howe\’s side.
In those matches the Cherries did manage to score three goals though and I do fancy them to score again in what I expect to be a good watch for the neutrals and both teams to score “yes” looks the way to go at the general 1.80.
The problem for the visitors is Tottenham will score more and I am taking them to win 3-1 which is 11.00 at Bet365 with in-form Dele Alli, who is the odds-on favourite to be crowned the Premier League Young Player of The Year, getting the opener at 5.50 at Paddy Power.
