Tottenham Hotspur- Ipswich Town and Galatasaray!

 

I have spoken so many times about where the Tottenham talents and those of their head coach lie and suffice to say, they are not defensively! Spurs have kept just 4 clean sheets in 31 EPL starts and those are not Big 6 team numbers and , this is a good one, they have conceded a goal or more in 12 of their last 13 home wins, including against six teams who were either relegated or battling relegation at the time, as indeed are Ipswich. Town, for all their woes and they are many, do score, including in 4 of 5 away games, six goals total ,losing 4-1 at Man City, you know, back when City were quite good and 4-3 at Brentford. In both of those they came out fast and scored VERY early and Spurs have conceded first in their last three EPL games. The hosts also have a bit of an injury crisis and are in Turkey this evening, to play a Galatasary side who are decent and star studded (albeit long in the tooth) as we have discussed multiple times. I think Tottenham will have to prioritise the weekend and that looks the approach, with a couple of players left back in London and replaced by a handful from the academy. They are 100% in the Europa League through three games, so do not "need" a result this evening, but three points against ipswich could take them into the top 4. Galatasaray have scored 10 goals (3+ in each) in three Europa League home games played in 2024 and scored six in two games (3 in each) with Manchester United in the CL last season.

 

 

(Tonight) I expect Galatasaray to score twice, but not huge odds about that, their last two EL games have both produced 3 first half goals and the two games with United were 1-1 and 1-2 at the break and if you wanted a small interest.......1.25 both teams to score in the first half @ 3.26 asian line, might just do.

 

Good luck!
