Tottenham Hotspur
Current form
Tottenham have been performing below expectations and betting tips in the Premier League so far this season. In the first round, there was an unnecessary draw with Leicester (1:1).

8.10Tip and bets
After two defeats in a row , Tottenham players will clearly be motivated to win the cup match today. Spurs have a noticeable advantage in class, even taking into account the fact that the squad will most likely not be the most important. There is a tight fight for a place in the starting lineup, the reserves will try to prove themselves. Coventry, even in the Championship, is not performing well now and is unlikely to be able to hold off an attack from an opponent who is superior in class.
