Tottenham Hotspur will no doubt take great confidence from Liverpool’s absolutely sensational Champions League comeback against Barcelona last night. The Reds overturned a 3-0 first leg deficit by defeating Barca 4-0 and thus booking their place in the final, where they will meet either Ajax or Tottenham, who trail 1-0 ahead of tonight’s match….
Spurs were outclassed by Ajax at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the first leg last week and they face a tough task in the Netherlands for this second leg. Mauricio Pochettino’s men didn’t enjoy the greatest of preparations for the game as they had two players sent off during a 1-0 Premier League defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday and it was yet another Spurs game that featured very few goals.
Under 2.5 goals is 6/5 with Bet Victor and we’re backing this impressive Ajax unit to nullify the limited attacking threat of Tottenham, who have lost four of their last five matches by a 1-0 scoreline. In fact, Spurs have lost nine of their last ten away games in all competitions and the Ajax win at 23/10 is too good to ignore.
The Dutch side offer a real threat from set pieces and, with that in mind, Matthijs de Lijt is a juicy first goalscorer bet at 33/1.
