ANALYSIS

(2u) Both Teams to Score @ -125

The Premier League battle for the top four is reaching a dramatic conclusion, and Spurs vs. Leicester will certainly have major ramifications.

Leicester, who have been very disappointing since the restart, secured an absolutely priceless 2-0 win over Sheffield United in their last outing, and with Manchester United to play on the final day, they’re guaranteed to at least have their destiny in their own hands – regardless of what happens in North London on Sunday.

However, Brendan Rodgers will be absolutely desperate to secure a positive result here, not least because Chelsea have two tough fixtures remaining, but this could be the difference between needing a win and needing a draw on the final day.

Spurs’ situation is a little different; they must simply try and win their last two games and secure Europa League football for next year. Not the same carrot Leicester has dangling in front of them, but an incentive to win nonetheless.

Jose Mourinho’s side are in good form and possess a great home record this season, and I do believe they’re rightly favorites on Sunday, but I’m much happier backing both teams to score at -125.

67% of Spurs’ games this season have seen both teams score (the highest percentage in the league) and at home they’ve only failed to score twice since August.

As for Leicester, they’ve fired just two blanks on the road since September, which is why this Both Teams to Score tip is of interest.

(1u) Harry Kane to Score First Goal @ +410

I’m also throwing a point toward Harry Kane scoring first at +410.

Kane has a whopping 12 goals against Leicester in just nine league games, and his brace against Newcastle will give him the confidence to kick on and finish the season strongly.

As the home side, the impetus will still slightly be on Spurs, and +410 for the England skipper to find the net first is worth the play.
