Our tipster thinks that value could lie in backing Mauricio Pochettino’s team to net in both halves against the Cottagers at Wembley on Saturday
Tottenham Hotspur welcome Fulham to Wembley in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men started the season with a superb 2-1 win against Newcastle United at St James’ Park while the Cottagers saw their return to the top tier soured by a disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Crystal Palace.
Latest odds
Spurs have finished inside the top four in each of the past three seasons and, therefore, it is no surprise to see the hosts as short as 1/4 (1.25) with William Hill to register a win against Slavisa Jokanovic’s men.
Fulham are available at a chunky 10/1 (11.0) to stun Spurs by winning at Wembley, while the same firm go 24/5 (5.80) that the Cottagers collect their first Premier League point of the season this weekend.
Team news
Harry Kane is still searching for his first Premier League goal during August, an incredible run that now spans 14 matches and 988 minutes.
Son Heung-Min is away on international duty at the Asian Games and, so, will play no part at Wembley.
Denis Odoi is suspended for Fulham, Tim Ream is not expected to be fit to start and Alfie Mawson is out until at least September, but Joe Bryan could play despite limping off against the Eagles last week.
Solid Spurs
Fulham have failed to find the net in four of their last five outings, while only Manchester City and Manchester United conceded fewer goals than Spurs last term.
William Hill go 17/20 (1.85) that Pochettino’s team shut out the Whites at Wembley, while the same firm offer 19/20 (1.95) that the hosts win to nil.
Prediction
Spurs looked sharp at St James’ Park and they will be in the mood to get amongst the goals when they play in front of their home supporters for the first time this term.
As such, William Hill’s 10/11 (1.91) quote for Pochettino’s side to score in both halves could represent real value for punters ahead of Saturday’s match at Wembley.
