The Premier League weekend ends with a London derby as Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham clash on Monday night. The sides have already met this season, with Fulham emerging victorious in a League Cup tie. However, Spurs are unbeaten in the league and will go into this game as big favourites.
To help you enjoy the game, our expert sports betting writers have looked at the key stats relating to the match, in order to produce their exclusive tip.
Even the most optimistic Tottenham Hotspur fan wouldn’t have predicted they would be top of the Premier League table after eight games. However, thanks to the no nonsense managerial style of Ange Postecoglu, and some inspired form from key players, that is exactly where Spurs find themselves.
Probably the most impressive aspect of Spurs’ season so far is the way in which a host of new players have slotted seamlessly into the team. Whisper it quietly, but the departure of Harry Kane may actually have benefited Tottenham in terms of their overall performances.
Mediocre is probably the best word to describe Fulham’s season so far. They’ve not been at their best, but done enough to pick up three victories and look set for another mid table finish.
If there is a cause for optimism among Fulham fans, it will come from their excellent 2-2 draw at Arsenal earlier in the season. That season’s best display proved they can mix it with the best, and they will need something similar on Monday if they are to avoid defeat.
Tottenham have won seven and drawn one of their last eight Premier League clashes with Fulham. In fact, the Cottagers have just one league victory over Spurs since 2008, although they have won two cup games in that time. Spurs lead the all-time head to head by 54 wins to 19.
The current betting odds for the game have Tottenham Hotspur priced at 13/25 to claim all three points. Fulham can be backed at 21/4 to cause an upset. Meanwhile, the draw is available at 19/5.
Spurs are playing some irresistible football at the minute, and it is hard to see Fulham keeping them at bay. Marco Silva’s team will be up for the fight, but there is a big quality gulf here, especially in attack. As such, we are going with the bookies for our betting bonus tip.
Clearly, 13/25 isn’t the most attractive price you will find, but this game makes for an excellent addition to your weekend acca. Check out our other articles for more great Premier League tips.
