TOTTENHAM remain the only Premier League side unbeaten at home this season and they put that record on the line at the weekend when they host Southampton.
Spurs\’ boss Mauricio Pochettino will relish the opportunity to beat his former side, but despite 12 wins from their 14 home matches this campaign, this mightn\’t be as straight forwards as the layers predict.
The home side have got to win every single remaining game if they are to stand any chance of catching leaders Chelsea and they are 1.72 to get the win at the weekend with Stan James, but before you go steaming into that price remember they will be without the services of top goal scorer Harry Kane and when the England striker doesn\’t feature they are a very different side.
The Saints\’ will arrive in north London in a very confident mood after their 4-3 win at Watford last week and in the last couple of months, Claude Puel\’s side have become the entertainers in the Premier League.
5.50 is the general price among Green Listed Bookmakers that you will get on them inflicting the first home defeat on Spurs\’, but I fancy goals at the weekend and that is the area we have to concentrate on.
In the last six Southampton matches 28 goals have been scored and with new Italian signing Manolo Gabbiadini banging in goals for fun I fancy them to score in this one and with 22 goals featuring in the last five Tottenham games both over 2.5 goals at 1.83 again with Stan James and both teams to score “yes” at 1.83 with most bookies look very appealing.
When the two met earlier in the season at St Mary\’s Tottenham ran out comfortable 4-1 winners, but last year Southampton did win this one 2-1 and this looks a very tough match to call and goals looks the angle to go with again.
