Team Reviews

Liverpool has hit a rough patch towards the end of the season. They were eliminated from the Europa League by Atalanta, despite being considered tournament favorites. In the Premier League, they have only one win in five matches. The team is struggling with scoring goals, even missing clear-cut chances. This is why Liverpool has scored fewer than 2.5 goals in 6 out of the last 7 matches. Betting on Liverpool Total Goals Under (2.5) is available with odds of 1.96.

Recently, Tottenham has faced a tough schedule. They suffered three consecutive defeats, although there were expectations for them to take points off Arsenal or Chelsea. It might happen in the next round, especially since their upcoming opponent has been conceding a lot lately. For instance, Liverpool concedes in the first half at home in 5 out of the last 6 Premier League matches. Placing a bet on 1st Half, Tottenham Total Goals Over (0.5) is valued at odds of 2.13.

Editor's Prediction

Liverpool is favored to win the upcoming match. However, they have recently lost confidence across all lines. Therefore, Tottenham has a chance to earn points in this encounter, especially considering Tottenham has won with a +1.5 handicap away in 9 out of the last 10 head-to-head meetings between these teams. In such a scenario, it's recommended to bet on Tottenham Handicap (+1.5) with odds of 1.86.
