Tottenham will play Crystal Palace in the London Derby on October 31. After a prolonged series of failures, Spurs scored two consecutive victories in the Premier League, including beating Chelsea in the derby. Will Roberto De Derbi's players be able to build on a successful streak today? - the answer is in our expert's betting tip. What bets should I pay attention to?
Command Analysis
Tottenham Hotspur
Current form
Tottenham went six rounds without a win in the Premier League. The unsuccessful streak was interrupted on his own field in the match against Coventry (3:1). This was followed by an important victory in the London Derby at Stamford Bridge over Chelsea with a score of 2:0. Spurs left the relegation zone and occupy 14th place with nine points. In general, despite all the problems, the progress of Roberto De Jerbi's team is obvious: in the last five rounds they suffered only one defeat against Aston Villa (2:3). Tottenham's advantage over many rivals now is that the team does not play in other tournaments, and after defeating Chelsea, they spent a week preparing for the upcoming game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bentancourt is serving his suspension. Savinho, Mudrik, Wenger, Simons and Bergvall are injured. Adarabiyoyo, Maddison and Udoji are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of Tottenham's last four matches, more than three offsides have been recorded.
In five consecutive games with Spurs, no more than one goal was scored in the first half.
Approximate composition: Kinski – Gray, van Hecke, van de Ven, Robertson–Tonali, M. Fernandes–Kudus, Gallagher, Tel–Marmush.
Crystal Palace
Current form
Crystal Palace, despite a busy schedule of matches, beat Fulham 1-0 in the 1/8 finals of the League Cup last week. Thus, it was possible to break a series of four matches without a win. In the Premier League standings, Pierre Saget's wards occupy only 17th place, just one point away from the relegation zone. The last victory in the Premier League was on October 11 over Nottingham Forest (3:1), after which the Eagles lost to Brighton (0:5) and Newcastle (0:2) without scoring a single goal. Attacking problems have been present throughout the season: only nine goals scored in eight matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured list includes Riad, Tomiyasu and Sarr. Timber and Strand Larsen are in question.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last five matches, Crystal Palace have lost in the first half.
In six of the previous seven matches, the Eagles had not lost by offside
Tottenham are deservedly the favorites in the betting line for the upcoming match. Spurs broke a series of setbacks, scored two wins in a row, including coping with Chelsea. Roberto De Derbi's team did not play in the League Cup this week, there was much more time to prepare for the game with the Eagles.
Crystal Palace, in conditions of a busy schedule, gives out some bright matches, but nothing more. The Eagles have enough margin of safety to win regularly. In the last two matches in the Premier League, there were defeats without scoring goals from Brighton and Newcastle, obvious problems with creating dangerous moments are present in almost every match. We expect Spurs to score three points today following the results of the London derby.
Our betting tip is for Tottenham to win by a factor of 1.60
Crystal Palace have scored only nine goals since the start of the Premier League season. In the last two matches, the Eagles failed to open the defenses of Brighton and Newcastle. Tottenham withstood the onslaught of Chelsea's powerful attack the day before and are quite capable of winning back to zero today.
The second bet is that Crystal Palace will not score with a coefficient of 2.60
Betting on corners
When choosing a corner bet, we are based on the trend among the guests. In six of the previous eight matches, Crystal Palace made fewer passes from the corner flag than their opponent. It is unlikely that we will be able to improve these statistics today against Tottenham.
Prediction – Tottenham win on corners with a handicap (-2.5) with a coefficient of 1.65
