Cottagers Head To The Lane On A High

It’s hard to believe now that early season Tottenham matches were predominantly drab affairs without a lot going on at either end. Say what you like about Tim Sherwood, but for neutrals, Spurs have certainly become more entertaining to watch again!

Here are Tottenham’s last five results across all competitions:

West Brom 3-3 Spurs
Spurs 5-1 Sunderland
Liverpool 4-0 Spurs
Spurs 3-2 Southampton
Benfica 2-2 Spurs.

It’s almost impossible to predict what they’ll do next in terms of win, lose or draw, but goals at both ends are back on the menu. There have been 25 in these most recent fixtures at an average of five per game.

Fulham are the next visitors to White Hart Lane on Saturday and Felix Magath has inspired his team to consecutive victories as they bid to stay in the top flight. It seems that they are suddenly capable of troubling opposition defences, but having conceded 74 league goals, you would still expect the top sides to prosper themselves.

When you add it all up then there seems to be value in backing over 4.5 goals in this London derby at best odds of 10/3 with WilliamHill.
