Premier League Odds

Liverpool v Tottenham (Mon, 20:00, SS1)

Recommended football betting tip:

Both teams to score @ 5/6 – BET NOW

Tough match odds to call here with both teams fairly evenly matched. Spurs are in better form and occupy third place in the Premier League table but Liverpool are tough to beat on home soil, with no side having won at Anfield in any competition this season.

Therefore we’re better off turning to the both teams to score market for this fixture with Tottenham boasting some solid goalscoring stats away from home this campaign. Spurs have scored in every league away match since the defeat at Old Trafford back in August and since then Redknapp’s side have netted in every league fixture. Liverpool may be unbeaten at home in the league but they don’t keep many clean sheets. Only three sides have gone to Anfield this season and failed to score so an away goal looks likely, whilst Liverpool themselves have only twice failed to net on home soil this term.

Premier League Preview

Both teams picked up comfortable wins in midweek to keep alive hopes of European qualification. Spurs sit third and are now a best price 1/8 to finish in the top four and 1.56 (exchanges) to earn a top three place. Liverpool sit sixth after their 3-0 win at Molineux and are now a best price 1/7 to finish sixth or higher at the end of the season and 11/4 to finish in the top four.
