Liverpool vs Spurs Betting Preview

By Ernie Bibby, Friday, April 28, 2023 3:26 am

Neither Liverpool or Spurs will be satisfied with their progress this season, however fifth is still up for grabs and both sides will fancy rescuing their season with a victory on Sunday. This game kicks off at 4:30pm and takes place at Anfield.

 

Liverpool

Liverpool’s midweek victory over West Ham has moved them up to sixth place and they are now breathing down the necks of Aston Villa. The Reds have managed to bounce back from their midseason blip and they’ve now won three matches in a row for the first time since late December.

Jurgen Klopp’s squad is largely injury-free and although they’ve been far from secure at the back, they’ve been producing a high level of finishing in the final third having found the net 11 times across their last three outings.

Anfield has been a fortress for the hosts this season and they’ve suffered just a single defeat in front of their own fans so far this campaign. They’ve netted 2+ goals in each of their last five matches in Merseyside and showed fantastic spirit to come from two goals down against Arsenal over the Easter weekend.

 

Spurs

Spurs have endured an underwhelming 2023 so far and the sacking of Cristian Stellini has done very little to turn the tide. Although their overall form this calendar year hasn’t been disastrous, they’ve struggled to win games against sides in the bottom half and dropped points against both Bournemouth and Southampton have hardly inspired confidence.

Nevertheless, they showed tremendous spirit to battle back from 2-0 down against Man United on Thursday night and they should be able to play their part in an entertaining 90 minutes in Merseyside. With 15 goals across their last three away games and another four at home to the Red Devils just a few days ago, this could be another topsy-turvy contest.

 

Head to Head

Games between these two sides tend to be fairly entertaining and another cracking 90 minutes awaits. Across the last 33 meetings between these teams, there has been an average of 3.49 goals per game and BTTS has landed in 58% of those games.

Liverpool have won 21 of those 33 contests and are unbeaten in each of the last 11 meetings (going back to Oct 2017). The Reds have also won eight of the last ten games against Spurs and current form suggests that this impressive sequence is unlikely to end anytime soon.

 

Key Betting Stats

  • Liverpool home matches have averaged 3.47 goals per game this season. Only Man City and Arsenal have been involved in more entertaining home fixtures.
  • The Reds have failed to score a first half goal in 50% of their matches this season
  • Liverpool have scored 2+ goals in seven of their last eight matches at Anfield.
  • Only five sides have left Anfield with anything to show for their efforts this season.
  • Liverpool will be relying on their full-backs to create opportunities here. Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold have claimed a combined 15 assists so far this season.
  • Spurs have conceded 14 goals across their last five matches. Prior to that, they’d been breached just six times in their previous seven matches.
  • Harry Kane has found the net 24 times this season, 16 more than any of his teammates. The striker has also scored in each of his last two appearances against the Reds.

 

Match Prediction

Liverpool have plenty of momentum and should be able to continue their fine form on Sunday afternoon. Spurs will be looking to stop the rot on the road, yet they could struggle to contain the confident hosts.
