Premier League, Saturday, 11.05.2024
Weakness of form meets hopelessness. Spurs host the Clarets on Saturday – and there is still something at stake for both teams.
The home side want to at least defend 5th place after four defeats in a row. The visitors, on the other hand, already have one foot in the second division.
Find out who will come out on top and which bookmakers offer the best odds in my Tottenham Burnley betting tip!
I can’t really figure out the Londoners. A few months ago at the start of the season, they were still an outsider candidate for the title.
Now even qualification for the Champions League is in jeopardy. Although nothing is mathematically lost yet, a seven-point deficit with three games left to play is a big weight to carry
One reason for this is, of course, the form of recent weeks. Spurs have lost four in a row recently. The last time they suffered more defeats was in 2004, when they lost six in a row.
However, the capital city team has usually looked good against the basement teams of late. They have only lost one of their last 22 games (14S, 7U).
This one defeat came against the Clarets in February 2022 (0:1). One way or another, the visitors will need a win this weekend.
If Burnley fail to pick up more than a point, they will be relegated from the Premier League for the fourth time, regardless of how Nottingham play Chelsea.
However, there is hope for Kompany’s side. They have only suffered one defeat in five games away from home (1S, 3U).
But the double chance odds in the Tottenham Burnley betting tip are not exactly optimistic.
However, a points split is a real rarity in north London anyway. There has only been one draw in Spurs’ last 46 home games this season.
In general, it can be said that despite all the criticism, the hosts usually do their homework properly at home.
They have won eight of their last ten home games (2N), losing the derby against Arsenal of all teams.
The visitors, on the other hand, have a poor record when facing teams from the top five. They have lost all seven of their games against such clubs.
But Burnley should be able to move forward. After all, Spurs have not kept a clean sheet in 13 home games.
If the Clarets score, you can expect odds of a little less than 1.40 at betting provider Bet365.
There’s no question that the Londoners will also get their opportunities in attack. Heung-min Son in particular is a much sought-after option.
The South Korean scored a hat-trick in the first leg in September. He has scored eight goals in his last six league games against the Clarets
The bookmaker NEObet has odds of around 1.60 on the Tottenham Burnley tip if Son scores at least once.
But James Maddison should also be watched out for from the visitors’ perspective. In his last two appearances against this opponent, he scored on both occasions
I assume that the home side will pick themselves up and show a different face in front of their own fans.
With a win, they would at least secure qualification for the Europa League. However, you never know how much effort the offense will have to put in to make up for the defensive mistakes.
Therefore, my Tottenham Burnley tip is: Victory for Spurs and both teams score!
