Tottenham vs CoventrySee All Odds
Tottenham are bottom of the Premier League and still waiting for a league win after six games, with three draws and three defeats. Roberto De Zerbi's side drew 1-1 at Manchester United last time out but lost Rodrigo Bentancur to a red card and a three game ban. Savio and Lucas Bergvall are now out injured too. Coventry arrive 16th and in form. Frank Lampard's side won 1-0 at Nottingham Forest and then beat Newcastle 4-1 last Monday. A third straight league win would be their first run like it since 1998. Andy Madley is the referee.
Tottenham vs Coventry Bet Builder Tips
1. Tottenham over 6.5 corners
Spurs have won seven or more corners in five of their eight games this season, including three of their four at home. They won 11 against Aston Villa, nine against Newcastle and 11 against Charlton, and they also won ten at Nottingham Forest. Coventry sit deep away from home. They had 33% of the ball against Newcastle and faced 24 shots at Forest. Coventry's opponents have averaged 19.67 shots per game against them on the road this season, against a league average of 14.59. With Coventry happy to defend their box and James Maddison likely to start, Spurs should have plenty of the ball in the final third.
2. Jan Paul van Hecke over 1.5 fouls committed
Van Hecke starts at centre back for Tottenham alongside Micky van de Ven. He has committed two or more fouls in three of his seven appearances this season, averaging 1.34 per 90. He made two fouls against Newcastle, Everton and Manchester United, and he has been booked in each of his last two games. Tottenham's home opponents have won 12.67 fouls per game this season, against a league average of 11.1. Omar Cherif likes to run in behind and Coventry will look to hit Spurs on the break. Madley has averaged 22.74 fouls per Premier League game against an average of 21.84.
3. Jack Rudoni over 0.5 shots on target
Rudoni starts in one of the two attacking midfield roles behind Cherif. He has had at least one shot on target in five of his seven appearances this season (71%), averaging 1.01 per 90. He had one on target against Newcastle, Brighton, Manchester City, Plymouth and Arsenal, which is three of his last four games. Coventry scored four against Newcastle last Monday. Spurs have conceded in three of their four home games, including three to Aston Villa.
4. Milan van Ewijk over 1.5 fouls committed at 9/4
Van Ewijk starts at right wing back for Coventry. He has committed two or more fouls in two of his five appearances this season, averaging 1.0 per 90. Both came away from home, with two fouls at Arsenal and two at Manchester City, and he has been booked twice. Coventry's away opponents have won 13.33 fouls per game this season, against a league average of 11.87. Van Ewijk will face Destiny Udogie and Omar Marmoush down the Spurs left and with Spurs likely to play wide and Udogie sure to overlap down the flank there should be plenty of chances for fouls.
