Liverpool vs Tottenham 12/5 Bet Builder – Mark O’Haire
Liverpool and Tottenham both suffered Champions League losses in midweek and will be eager to bounce back when facing off at Anfield on Super Sunday. The two teams were also beaten in their most recent Premier League matches, though the spotlight remains firmly on crisis club Spurs as they continue to slide towards the bottom-three.
Winless in 11 EPL outings, losing five on the spin in the top-flight for the first time since 2004, Tottenham’s plight has been dreadful for a far longer period than that. Spurs have earned a disastrous 0.87 points per game across their last 38 Premier League fixtures, with recent performances really unravelling under interim boss Igor Tudor.
Tottenham now begin MD30 of the Premier League only one point outside of the drop-zone before facing a Liverpool side that’s tabled 12 triumphs in the past 15 league meetings with Spurs, suffering a solitary reverse in that same sample. It looks a tall order for Tudor’s dysfunctional and injury-ravaged visitors.
Match Result –
Liverpool to win
Liverpool are W10-D3-L0 in their last 13 home league fixtures with Spurs, and whilst the Reds have been far below their own sky-high standards during their title defence, they have still managed W14-D3-L5 at Anfield thus far. Arne Slot’s troops are averaging 2.09 goals per-game during that 22-game sample and are worthy favourites.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Tottenham have leaked multiple goals in 11 of their previous 13 fixtures, though Spurs have still managed to get on the scoresheet often enough themselves. The strugglers have notched in 23 of their most recent 26 with Both Teams to Score banking in 11 of their past 14. Meanwhile, 10 of the last 11 EPL meetings at Anfield delivered Both Teams to Score profit.
Team Stats – Tottenham 8+ shots
Spurs have fired in at least eight shots on each of their past seven league trips to Anfield and despite their dreadful Premier League campaign, Tottenham have reached this shot tally in 79% of their away days thus far, averaging 10.07 attempts per-game on their travels. Liverpool have also faced 8+ shots in 12 of their 14 home EPL encounters.
