Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Tottenham Hotspur to Win – 1.57

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Both Teams to Score – 1.73

Tottenham Hotspur to Win

Tottenham have become a formidable force at home since the arrival of tough Italian taskmaster Antonio Conte and four wins and a draw from five Premier League assignments in North London is an impressive haul. Spurs have also won each of their last five meetings with Southampton in the capital and they can harness home advantage against the Saints again on Wednesday.

Both Teams to Score

While Tottenham’s results under Antonio Conte have been strong, Spurs still have improvements to make defensively and they have kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 matches in all competitions. That record suggests Southampton can notch a consolation effort this week and backing both teams to register appeals as a result. It’s also worth noting that both teams to score landed in 100% of the last five encounters between Spurs and the Saints.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton

With keen tactical discipline, a strong work ethic and an aggressive streak, Tottenham are starting to show all of the characteristics of an Antonio Conte-coached outfit and Spurs performed impressively to beat Brighton 3-1 in the FA Cup last weekend.

In the Premier League, Tottenham have lost just once in ten assignments since Conte’s arrival and though they were roundly outplayed by Chelsea (2-0) on that occasion, the defeat wasn’t enough to derail the club’s charge towards the top four.

Indeed, should Spurs win their two games in hand, they will replace Manchester United in fourth place and with Harry Kane back to his best and Heung-min Son back from injury, the Londoners are building a real head of steam.

Their opponents on Wednesday, Southampton, should provide Spurs with another stiff test however, and the Saints have lost just one of their last six Premier League fixtures.

Southampton showcased their steely resolve with a 1-1 draw against leaders Manchester City in their most recent Premier League tussle, though their record against Spurs in North London suggests they could struggle to upset the odds again on Wednesday.

The Saints have been toppled on each of their last five visits to play Tottenham in the capital and with star striker Armando Broja out injured this week, their chances of reversing that run have been dealt a major blow.

Spurs have pocketed 13 points from 15 available at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium under Antonio Conte and the hosts are priced generously to post another positive result at home against Southampton in midweek.

Safe Bets

Harry Kane is playing his way back into top form for Tottenham and the England international has racked up an impressive 21 shots in his last four Premier League appearances. Four of those efforts were registered when Spurs last played Southampton on December 8^th and Kane hit the target with two of those strikes. The 28-year-old should be a threatening presence again in Wednesday’s rematch and you can back him at 2.15 to notch over 1.5 shots on target.

Get Quick Rich

We’ve tipped Tottenham to gather maximum points this week, though braver bettors should consider backing Southampton to score first in London. Spurs have conceded first in four of their last five matches, while the Saints broke the deadlock in each of their last three meetings with Tottenham. The away side are available at 2.75 to find the net before their hosts again this week.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton first goalscorer

Heung-min Son has a superb record against Southampton and the flying South Korean attacker has scored an incredible 11 goals against the Saints since 2016. The 29-year-old tends to save some of his best work for games against the Hampshire based club and backing Son to score first at 4.0 on Wednesday could be a smart ploy.

Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton Team News

Japhet Tanganga, Eric Dier and Oliver Skipp are all considered doubtful for Tottenham, however, even if the trio are available, Antonio Conte could choose to field the same XI that performed so well against Brighton. That would mean January signings Rodrigo Bentancur and Dejan Kulusevski would remain on the bench.

Armando Broja and Lyanco are both absent for Southampton this week, in a major double blow for the Saints. Alex McCarthy and Nathan Tella are also sidelined with injuries. Valentino Livramento should be fit enough to start at right back again following his comeback against Coventry.

Starting Lineups

Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris – Sanchez, Romero, Davies – Royal, Winks, Hojbjerg, Reguilson – Son, Moura, Kane

Southampton: Forster – Bednarek, Stephens, Salisu – Livramento, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Walker-Peters – Redmond, Armstrong, Adams

Highlighted Player

Kyle Walker-Peters

Kyle Walker-Peters came through the youth ranks at Tottenham before moving to Southampton in 2020 and Wednesday’s game will be a significant one for the fullback as a result. Walker-Peters was booked when the Saints last played Spurs in December, so expect the 24-year-old to put plenty of biting tackles in this week.
