Command Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur
EnglandCurrent form
For the first time in a long time, Tottenham won two matches in a row. First, in the Premier League, they managed to defeat Southampton 5-0 away with class. Then there was a home victory in the League Cup against Manchester United (4-3). The Spurs' performance in these matches is impressive, but at the same time, the game with the Red Devils clearly demonstrated that the problems in defense have not disappeared, and experienced opponents are able to take full advantage of this. Interestingly, in the semi-final of the League Cup, the Londoners will now play against their current opponent, Liverpool.
Despite the good recent results, the situation in the Premier League is not the most pleasant for Tottenham. With 23 points, Ange Postecoglou team is approaching the start of the 17th round only in the tenth position. Of course, the density of results is very decent, there is still a long stretch of the season ahead, but the instability of the Spurs is alarming fans. Home walls do not particularly help the team - only 13 points scored in eight matches played. At the Tottenham Hotspur arena, not only Arsenal, Chelsea, but also modest Ipswich scored three points. Even an impressive attacking game on their home field (20 goals scored) does not always help to achieve a positive result.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bentancur remains suspended. Vicario, Odobert, Richarlison, Romero and Davies are all out with injuries. Van de Ven and Udoja are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Tottenham have not lost in the first half in their last four matches
- Spurs have scored at least three goals in nine of their last 12 Premier League games
- The bet on both teams to score has played in the Londoners' last six home matches in the Premier League
Probable line-up: Forster - Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence - Sarr, Bissouma - Johnson, Maddison, Son - Solanke.
Liverpool
EnglandCurrent form
In the last two rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool failed to win, although the opponents were far from the most difficult. First, a fighting draw 3:3 was recorded away from home with Newcastle. Then, playing with ten men from the 16th minute, the Merseysiders drew with Fulham (2:2). As a result, Arne Sloth charges are still in first place in the tournament table, but they have allowed Chelsea to get two points closer to them, although they still have a game in hand.
Liverpool defense has begun to fail frequently, which is why the team has repeatedly achieved success. Now, Salah attacking efforts are not always enough to regularly take three points. Last week, the Merseysiders beat Southampton with class in the League Cup, but still conceded (2:1). It is undoubtedly important to note that in this confrontation, Arne Slot gave many leaders a rest and made full use of the rotation opportunities.
https://www.liverpoolfc.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Liverpool have an away game against Tottenham ahead. The opponent is quite convenient for the Merseysiders, as they managed to win seven of the previous ten head-to-head encounters. Let us add that this season in the Premier League the Liverpool team has not lost a single away game – five wins and two draws.
Disqualifications and injuries
Only Bradley and Konate will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Liverpool have not lost in the first half in three of their last five matches in all competitions
- In 12 of the Merseysiders' previous 16 Premier League matches, more than three goals have not been scored
- Both teams have scored in six of Liverpool last eight Premier League games
Probable line-up: Alisson - Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson - Gravenberch, Jones - Salah, Szoboszlai, Diaz - Jota.

1.92Tip and bets
We think that we shouldn't expect any feats from Tottenham today. The Spurs spent too much energy in the cup battle with Manchester United, and there are practically no opportunities for a full rotation of the squad. Liverpool won against Southampton with little bloodshed, Arne Slot gave many leaders a rest, it is obvious that the bet is made on the game in London today. Tottenham defense regularly fails in matches with strong opponents, which the same Manchester United took advantage of. The Merseysiders beat the upcoming opponent in seven of the ten previous face-to-face matches, which we expect this time too.
Our prediction is a Liverpool win at odds of 1.78
Bet on total
Taking into account Tottenham recent high-scoring matches, bookmakers are expecting a goal-scoring extravaganza and are offering a very high threshold for the total. Meanwhile, only twice in the previous ten head-to-head encounters have the opponents scored more than four goals. We don't think we should expect a high-scoring game.
The second bet is total under four goals with odds of 1.67
Bet on the exact difference in the score
There is no huge gap in class between the rivals, it is unlikely that the favorite will win by a landslide. Moreover, Liverpool has won its last three victories in personal meetings with an advantage of one or two goals.
Prediction: Liverpool win by one or two goals with odds of 2.55
