Spurs Running On Empty
The former Southampton manager may have an unhappy return with his side in danger of exhaustion despite an improved performance in Dortmund.
At the risk of creating a contradiction having put a value bet on Southampton for relegation, I think they are also worth a punt at best odds of 18/5 with BetFair to beat Tottenham today. If it helps, backing Cardiff keeps the battle at the bottom very tight!
The fact of the matter is that Saints performed really help at Old Trafford, and beat Fulham before that. If they keep those performance levels up here, it could be enough against a Spurs side in serious danger of burnout.
Yes, they pulled off a great second leg victory in Dortmund, but at what cost? A North London derby slog followed by a energy-sapping trip to Germany could catch up with them in a fixture that’s trickier than it looks as Poch returns to his former club.
