Tottenham v Liverpool Betting Tips: Hey I heard you were a wild one!

Tottenham entertain league leaders Liverpool this Sunday, and entertainment is certainly something guaranteed when Spurs are in action.

Ange Postecoglou’s side head into the eagerly anticipated showdown in 10th place ahead of the first of 4 matches in just 13 days over the Christmas period. Yet they are only 5 points off the Champions League positions such is the nature of this topsy-turvy campaign so far.

Only Chelsea have scored more goals than the 36 Tottenham have bagged after 16 games, while Arne Slot’s Liverpool are the 4th-top scorers in the Prem and have the meanest defence of all the teams, conceding just 13 times in their 15 games.

Liverpool are unbeaten on their travels and have won 5 of their 7 matches on the road. Slot and his men know a victory will guarantee them being top of the Premier League tree at Christmas but will face a tough challenge against a Spurs side whose matches have produced 55 goals so far.

The Great Entertainers

When it comes to value for money for the football produced this term, there aren’t many other sides you’d prefer to watch than these two.

With Tottenham only failing to score once on home soil this season and Liverpool netting in all 7 of their games away from Anfield it’s poised to be a blockbuster of a clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Spurs have won half of their games in front of their own fans and are 2nd-top scorers at home, with only Brentford surpassing Postecoglou’s side's 20 home goals. Liverpool have taken 17 points from a possible 21 on the road and look like the team everyone else needs to stop from winning the title.

Life under head coach Slot couldn’t be much better with The Reds winning 11 and drawing 3 of their first 15 fixtures propelling them to the PL summit.

Open and attacking affair expected

Given how both managers’ philosophies are to play expansive and attacking football with predominantly either a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation the preferred choice from both, I certainly don’t think we’ll be in for a bore draw in this one.

Spurs have scored 8 times in their previous 2 PL games, including a 5-0 rout at lowly Southampton in their last league fixture and put 4 past United last night in the league cup when winning 4-3. M

Meanwhile, The Reds have scored 10 in their previous 4 league games and have only failed to score once all term and that was back in mid-September in the 1-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Match winner on both sides

Both Postecoglou and Slot have an abundance of potential match-winners and game-changers in their ranks. Dominic Solanke, Son Heung-Min and James Maddison are just a few stand-out names at the Spurs manager’s disposal.

Maddison in particular has been in blistering form recently, with 4 goals in his last 5 PL appearances including a brace away to Manchester City last month making him Spurs’ top scorer this campaign.

For Liverpool, the likes of Mo Salah, Cody Gakpo, and Luis Diaz are all capable of proving the difference in what looks to be the game of the weekend. Salah has 13 goals and 9 assists for The Reds already and has either scored or assisted in a staggering 12 of Liverpool’s last 13 goals.

Magic Madders to do the business?

Delving into the various markets on offer for this high-stakes clash, it’s difficult to avoid looking at bets on the way the game will most likely play out. I expect there to be chances, goals, and plenty of them at that.

Possible side bet: 2nd half to produce more goals at 10/11 with StarSports

For the game to have more goals after the interval, StarSports are offering 10/11 on the 2nd half producing more goals.

Seeing as a staggering 22 of Liverpool’s last 25 goals have been scored after the half-time break and away from home they have scored 4 more times after the interval as opposed to in the first half, this does look worthy of a small bet.

Incidentally, Spurs have also struck 6 more times after the break at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium than before the referee’s half-time whistle so the price looks more than fair.

Maddison goal scorer markets have value

In addition, I want to back big-game player James Maddison to do well in this fixture. The 28-year-old is Spurs’ top scorer this season with 7 goals and has 4 assists to his name.

He is best priced at 9/2 with StarSports to score anytime and deliver once again against one of the big boys and 41/20 with Unibet to either score or assist during the match. I wouldn’t put anybody off either of those.

Top tip: Maddison over 1.5 shots at Evens with Ladbrokes

Instead of finding the net or setting one up though, I am tipping the Englishman just to have over 1.5 shots in the game, with best odds of Evens available with Ladbrokes.

Tottenham average the 4th-highest number of shots across the board with an average of 15.6 shots per game and on home soil they have the 5th-highest shots per game ratio with 15.9. So I envisage Maddison being amongst these figures by the time the match concludes.

The attacking midfielder is at the heart of Spurs’ attacks. I feel with the nature of how the game could pan out with plenty of open space and chances for both sides, Maddison might well get some opportunities to test his shooting practice against Liverpool keeper Allison in this one.
