Tottenham vs. Liverpool is the matchup we simply have to cover in this preview. One of two EPL derbies this weekend takes place at the Tottenham Stadium in London, and it closes Round 15. The two sides won during this midweek in the UEFA Champions League, boosting their morale additionally before this massive matchup.

Preview

Tottenham (+230) won in Marseille, even though the hosts took the lead. Conte’s unit completely flipped the result in the final attack, taking the top spot in their group and advancing to the knockout stage, and earning the home-field advantage.

The Spurs now have three games in a row without a defeat, at first playing 1-1 at home to sporting before beating Bournemouth 2-3 and Marseille, both on the road. The interesting thing is that Tottenham fell behind also against the Cherries, two goals in that case, yet ended up on the winning side.

We’ve seen both teams to score in their recent four games, and three of them were with over 2.5 hits. The situation is similar when Spurs play at home, with four of five of their recent events ending with goals on both ends.

Liverpool (+110) has been hot and cold in the past five games, winning three and losing two. The Reds are arguably the most inconsistent team in entire Europe. They beat Napoli and Ajax but fail to Leeds or Nottingham. Not to mention that previously, they’ve managed to inflict Man City a loss.

The defense is a major problem for this crew. In the past four wins, they kept clean sheets, and when the back line does its job correctly, there isn’t a single problem in Liverpool’s game.

Since the start of the campaign, the Reds have only two road victories, with two draws and four losses. On six occasions, Liverpool couldn’t keep its net intact, and six of these games were with over 2.5 goals.

Latest News

Richarlison is out for the Spurs, and Son is also injured, and that’s an even greater hit for Conte. Romero and Kulusevski won’t play as well.

On the other side, Diaz, Jota, Keita, Matip, and Arthur are all unavailable. Millner’s appearance is under the question mark.

Head to Head Games

Last year we saw two draws when Tottenham and Liverpool met, the first at the London Stadium, 2-2, and the second at Anfield, 1-1. The last four events were with both teams netting, and three saw over 2.5 goals. Usually, when these two clubs meet, we see plenty of chances and action.

Prediction

The best pick for this event is to bet on both team netting. The reason for such a decision is unstable defenses because neither the Spurs nor the Reds have consistency in the back line, the recent results are showing that. The odds on this are -195, and for those who want to increase the profits, adding over 2.5 goals is even better.

Pick: Both teams to score -195
