J-Rod Can Prey On Spurs' Injury Crisis

The England hopeful has scored eight league goals away from home since the start of November.

Spurs showed plenty of spirit in Benfica on Thursday night but character can only get you so far. The 2-2 draw against last season’s Europa League finalists stopped the rot after three straight defeats but those efforts make take their toll on Sunday.

Tim Sherwood was unable to field a recognised centre back in Portugal and the Londoners have now conceded 10 times in four outings. Southampton are still dreaming of hunting down Manchester Utd for seventh spot in the league table and a run of three away wins in their last four gives them a chance.

One man in particular tends to look razor sharp when the Saints are on their travels. On current form, Jay Rodriguez is well worth a second look at best odds of 5/2 (Bet365) in the anytime goalscorer market.

The former Burley striker has found the net regularly after a slow start to the season and with 12 league goals he is on a par with Giroud and ahead of Rooney and Van Persie.
