Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the 2nd week of EPL action, Chelsea (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) welcomes Tottenham (1-0-0) to Stamford Bridge Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Chelsea vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Chelsea is coming off a 1-0 win over Everton in which it tripled its opponents’ expected goals. The home side lost F Romelu Lukaku this offseason, but did add Manchester City F Raheem Sterling.

Chelsea’s 30-year-old M Jorginho scored the lone goal in its opener. Having to keep pace with City, Chelsea will have a difficult challenge Sunday. It beat Tottenham all 4 times last season, twice in the EFL Cup.

As for the F Harry Kane-led Tottenham, it will also look to contend as one of the EPL’s more talented teams.

In addition to Kane, it is led by star winger Son Heung-min. Neither scored despite both getting 90 minutes in Tottenham’s season-opening 4-1 win over Southampton.

Prediction

Chelsea 2, Tottenham 0

Money line (ML)

BET CHELSEA +125.

Man City and Chelsea have the 2 most complete rosters in the league. From the attacking to defense, Chelsea has skill all over the field, and at home against a team it beat all 4 times last season, it has great value.

Tottenham’s strong start to the season covered up Kane’s struggles as he had just 1 shot on target. Tottenham had success against both Liverpool and City last season, but Chelsea consistently had its number.

I expect a similar showing from the Blues in this battle. This will be a good indicator of where each team is as the new season doesn’t have a lot of matches under its belt.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-112).

Chelsea had the 3rd-best defense in the EPL last season, while Tottenham had the 4th best.

Both allowed 40 or fewer goals in 38 matches. Chelsea brought back its 3 key defenders and has arguably the best center defending mid in the world (M N’Golo Kanté).

Tottenham may have won 4-1 last week, but there were just 2.0 expected goals. I would expect the experience to rival the Tottenham playmaking.

Considering each team’s strength, I’d play UNDER 2.5 (-112) here. Also Tottenham didn’t score in any of the 4 matches against Chelsea last season as 3 of the 4 went Under this total.

Liverpool vs. Tottenham odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Liverpool vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Liverpool (25 wins, 2 losses, 7 draws) welcomes Tottenham (19-11-4) to Anfield Saturday. Kickoff is set for 2:45 p.m. ET (USA Network). Below, we preview the Liverpool vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Liverpool is 1 point behind league-leading Manchester City in the table. Both teams have played 34 games and have 4 games remaining.

The Reds have 3 of the EPL’s top-5 scorers. F Mohamed Salah’s 22 goals leads the league, while F Diogo Jota (15 goals) and F Sadio Mané (14 goals) rank 4th and 5th, respectively.

Tottenham has a few superstars on their side as well. F Son Heung-Min is 2nd in scoring with 19 goals, while F Harry Kane is 6th with 13 goals. Manchester United F Cristiano Ronaldo (18 goals) is the only top-6 EPL scorer not in this match.

The Hotspurs need to come out on top to keep its Champions League dreams alive. They sit 5th in the table, 2 points behind Arsenal for a coveted top-4 spot.

Liverpool leads the league in goal differential (+64) behind an EPL-best 86 goals against 22 allowed. Tottenham has 59 goals and allowed 39.

  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +125 | U: -155)

[tipico]

Prediction

Liverpool 3, Tottenham 2

Money line (ML)

PASS.

Liverpool (-220) to win outright is far too pricey for a battle against two top-4 teams. However, the Reds need to win this game, and I expect them to come out on top.

They drew Tottenham on the road 2-2 earlier in the season.

BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-135) is a bit pricey, especially considering Liverpool has the EPL’s second-best defense.

Tottenham has scored in 7 of its last 9 matches, and it should find the net once in this battle.

Among these two angles, I like BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-135), however, the total (below) is my favorite play.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+125).

The value is here. The offenses are that good.

This match features 2 of the EPL’s top-4 offenses – as mentioned, Liverpool is 1st, while Tottenham is 4th – and 5 of the top-6 scorers.

While Liverpool’s defense is legit, it has given up 2 or more goals in 4 of its last 8 matches. Throughout all competitions, Liverpool has allowed 2 or more goals to top-4 EPL scoring clubs in 5 of 6 games this season.

Given the firepower that’ll be on display, OVER 3.5 (+125) is the best bet in this game.  At this value, it’s certainly worth a look.

Manchester United vs. Tottenham odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester United vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Tottenham (14 wins, 9 losses, 3 draws) visits Old Trafford to take on Manchester United (13-7-8) Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester United vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham is coming in as one of the EPL’s most sporadic teams.

The Spurs have won 3 of their last 4 games, scoring 9 combined goals in their last 2 games. They’ve also lost to Burnley 1-0 back on Feb. 23, yet beat the EPL-leading Manchester City the game prior.

Tottenham is led by star F Harry Kane, who is fifth in the EPL with 10 goals, and F Son Heung-Min, who is fourth with 11 goals. Tottenham currently sits seventh on the EPL table.

Man U is coming off an embarrassing 4-1 defeat against Manchester City. United did not play star F Cristiano Ronaldo in that match. Ronaldo and F Edinson Cavani are listed as doubtful, yet apparently both returned to training this week, per whoscored.com.

Man U is 4-4-1 over its last 9 EPL matches. It has scored 45 and given up 38 in 28 matches.

  • Money line: Manchester United +140 (bet $100 to win $140) | Tottenham +190 (bet $100 to win $190) | Draw +245
  • Over/Under: 2.5 (O: -145 | U: +120)

[tipico]

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Manchester United 1

Money line (ML)

LEAN to TOTTENHAM (+190).

Man U oddly has more home losses (4) than road losses (3) this season.

Also, Tottenham is the healthier team and playing far better. The Spurs have outscored their opponents 12-3 over the last four games and have recently taken down Man City for the second time this season.

Ronaldo and F Mason Greenwood are two of Man U’s top three leading scorers, and it’ll likely be down the former and will certainly be without the latter. D Scott McTominay, who has 22 appearances, is also doubtful, another huge blow.

Given Tottenham’s strength with Kane and Heung-Min, I expect the Spurs to annihilate a weak Man U defense, which is 1.36 goals per game.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-145).

United put 1 goal on City last week, and it has had a relatively good attack this season.

It averages 1.6 goals per game. It will have F Bruno Fernandes active. He’s tied for ninth in the EPL in goals. This game will feature three players in the EPL’s top 10 in goals.

Tottenham has 40 goals in 26 games this season and should be going against a weakened and injured United defense.

Liverpool vs. Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Liverpool vs Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On Sunday, Liverpool (12 wins, 1 loss, 4 draws) travels to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium to take on Tottenham (8-5-1). The match is set to kickoff at 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Liverpool vs Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham will be without F Son Heung-Min, one of their best attackers. Aside from Heung-Min, Harry Kane has yet to produce much this season.

Tottenham has scored just 16 goals in 14 games while allowing 17. That’s the four-fewest goals in the league, ahead of just Wolverhampton, Burnley and Norwich City.

It’s the exact opposite for Liverpool who leads the league with 48 goals for. However, star defender Virgil van Dijk will be sidelined Sunday which may give Tottenham a better chance than it would normally have.

The Reds will be getting M Roberto Firmino back though to give them an additional offensive boost, and he’s expected to draw the start. Liverpool has won seven straight against Tottenham.

Prediction

Liverpool 2, Tottenham 0

Money line (ML)

BET on LIVERPOOL (-180).

When you can get any of the top-three EPL teams at better than -200 when playing against a team outside the top three, you take it. Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea are just a level above the field.

With the league’s most dangerous attack, backed by one of the best players in the work, F Mohamed Salah, Liverpool has scored an EPL-leading 48 goals. It’s also conceded just 13 goals against, the third-fewest in the EPL.

Despite the offensive firepower on paper, Tottenham has translated it into just 16 goals. There’s no reason to believe they’ll be able to get it going against a mighty Liverpool defense.

At this price, bet on Liverpool to win.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (+133) as the best value on the total. While Liverpool’s lethal attack could get loose, against the Wolves — a team that’s goals for/against profile is similar to Tottenham, the Reds won just 1-0.

Liverpool has won two of its last three games by a final score of 1-0, and with its defense coupled with Tottenham not allowing much on their end, I’d expect fewer goals in this one.

Tottenham is only seventh on the table due to the strength of its defense, and it should keep that intensity up at home Sunday. The Hotspur have played two of the top three teams, beating Man City 1-0 and losing to Chelsea 3-1.

The Under is the better play at this price.

Everton vs. Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Everton vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Tottenham (5 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws) heads to Goodison Park to take on Everton (4-4-2) Sunday. The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

After starting the season with 3 wins in 4 matches, Everton has struggled to gain any traction, losing its last three after quality draw with Manchester United.

Everton is led by young F Dominic Calvert-Lewin and M Demarai Gray. Everton has 16 goals and has allowed 16 goals in 10 matches. It will be facing Tottenham, a club coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss to Man U last weekend.

With F Harry Kane, one of the most efficient forwards in the EPL having yet to hit his strike, Tottenham has also fallen after a start that included a 1-0 win over Man City.

Tottenham has 5 wins, yet has scored just 9 goals, allowing 16.

PLAY: Our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to TOTTENHAM (+125) as Everton will be without one of its best players in Calvert-Lewin, a 24-year-old English forward who has provided great strength up top.

Tottenham should be able to control the middle and push with pace. It is too talented not to. With F Son Heung-min also expected to play, the Hotspurs should be able to get on the board multiple times.

After following out of the top seven with its loss to Man U, Tottenham needs to bounce back on the road. Against a defense that has been slacking most of the season, Tottenham should be able to get multiple on the board.

Being Kane and Heung-Min and with Everton short Calvert-Lewin, Tottenham should find a way to win.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+115) as the better side here. Both teams give up too many goals. Having each conceded 16 on the season, the Tottenham offense is clearly the one lacking, but the star power is there.

Its two stars combined for 40 last season as Tottenham finished averaging over 1.5 points per game. It is not quite at the same level despite having a relatively similar roster.

With Everton having depth and a more proven scoring attack that should be led by Gray and F Andros Townsend, who are tied with Calvert-Lewin with a team-high 3 goals.

It is down a key piece, but it should have enough talent to get on the board. Everton scored in four of its last five games.

Tottenham vs. Manchester United odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Tottenham vs. Manchester United odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In an action-packed EPL Saturday, Manchester United (4 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws) takes on Tottenham (5-4-0) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Tottenham vs. Manchester United odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

There was hope in the Man U camp that it would cement itself as a top-five EPL side after acquiring superstar F Cristiano Ronaldo. That just hasn’t happened. United was thrashed 5-0 by Liverpool last weekend and has lost three of its last four games while looking completely lost defensively, giving up 9 goals across its last two fixtures.

Tottenham kicked the season off with a win over Man City and was expected to continue to surge. The Hotspurs haven’t produced as expected despite F Harry Kane and F Son Heung-min being among the best forwards in the EPL. Tottenham has scored just 9 goals in nine games.

Despite scoring 7 fewer goals than Man U, Tottenham still sits one spot higher on the table, making this battle of the 6th and 7th placed teams a must-watch game.

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Manchester United 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line with a slight lean to the home side.

Both teams have the capability of competing with the best of the best when they’re at their best; however, we’ve yet to consistently see that from either.

While Tottenham hasn’t looked great against top opponents, it has won two of its last three. That said, Man U has looked awful, and it will be without M Paul Pogba, arguably its best player in the middle.

I’d rather BET on BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-170). The Man U defense will be going against two top forwards in Kane and Son while Tottenham’s defense has also allowed more than a goal per game.

With Ronaldo up top and Man U having notched 16 goals in 9 games, I’d think they should get on the board with ease as well. I expect the offenses to dictate this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-135) as for all the reasons above. United has looked great when it has the ball, but it’s tied with Leicester City for the worst defense of a top-12 side.

If Man U was showing some type of resilience then betting the other side could be smart, but its struggles have been against more than just Liverpool, and it’s allowed far too many goals as of late.

Also both of Tottenham’s top goal scorers haven’t produced like we’ve seen in past years. I expect that to change as the talent is there. Everything points to this being a high-scoring match.

Tottenham at Crystal Palace odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Tottenham at Crystal Palace odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

On an action-packed Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur (3 wins, 0 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Crytal Palace (0 wins, 1 loss, 2 draws). The match is set to kickoff at 7:30 a.m. ET at Selhurst Park. Below, we preview the Tottenham vs. Crystal Palace odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Currently sitting atop the table, Tottenham is the only team in the English Premier League to win its first three games. A failed transfer has F Harry Kane locked in and the Hotspur as favorite.

Tottenham has taken down the Wolves, Man City and Watford; it won each of those games 1-0. As for Crystal Palace, it lost to Chelsea 3-0 to start the season and has two draws since.

M Conor Gallagher scored both of Crystal Palace’s goals in its most recent 2-2 draw against West Ham. Crystal Palace sits 14th in the table but is far better than its record shows.

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Crystal Palace 1

Money line (ML)

BET on TOTTENHAM (+100) as it has shown few flaws. The backline has been elite through three games, in having yet to concede a goal.

On top of having thrived against top competition, Tottenham has arguably the EPL’s most underrated player, in F Son Heung-Min. He has 2 goals on the season.

Heung-Min and Kane should be able to break down a Crystal Palace defense that gave up 2 to West Ham a match ago and 3 to Chelsea to kick off the EPL season. Both draws were against mid-tier opponents and Palace was dominated by arguably the best team in the league.

At +100, Tottenham offers good value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+120) as Tottenham has several lethal scoring options and Crystal Palace should be able to get on the board as well. Crystal Palace has scored 2 goals through three games but notched both last time out.

Tottenham scored just 1 goal in each game and has yet to allow any. That said, the level of talent on the offensive ends should allow numerous opportunities.

At plus-money value, this is a solid gamble for bettors.

English Premier League: Watford at Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Watford at Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

After most of the EPL kicked off Saturday, Watford (1 win, 1 loss, 0 draws) visit Tottenham (2-0-0) Sunday. The match is set to kickoff at 9 a.m. ET at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Below, we preview the Watford vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham won each of its first two matches but was outshot in both. Wolverhampton more than tripled Tottenham’s attempts last week. Against Man City, Tottenham was also clearly the inferior side, but F Heung-Min Son and company have been able to get the results.

The Hotspur will take on an underrated Watford side. It defeated Aston Villa 3-2 to start the season then lost 2-0 to Brighton, a team that’s starting to turn a lot of heads in the EPL. Expect a better match than the odds predict.

Prediction

Tottenham 1, Watford 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+360) as I wouldn’t mind putting half a unit to back Watford. While it doesn’t quite count for EPL action, Watford is coming off a 1-0 over Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup.

It defeated Villa and was beaten by Brighton only after being knocked behind by a 10th-minute goal via corner. Watford has a dangerous attack which could bode well for this being a high-scoring match, especially if Tottenham F Harry Kane makes a showing.

Regardless, Watford has played reasonably well to start the season while Tottenham was outplayed yet found a way to win in its last outing.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-105) as Tottenham won both of its matches by just 1 goal. Along those lines, Watford was held in check last weekend despite a combined 5 goals being scored in its opener.

Of the combined four games by the two teams, Over 2.5 hit only once. Kane is now committed to Tottenham, but it’s still unclear if he’ll play all 90 minutes Sunday.

The star is still rounding into form, and it wouldn’t be shocking if he gets a substitute appearance. Even if he gets all 90 minutes, I’d still expect Tottenham to score just one.

Tottenham at Wolverhampton odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Tottenham at Wolverhampton odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

After most of the EPL kicked off Saturday, Tottenham (1 win, 0 losses, 0 draws) travels to take on Wolverhampton (0-1-0) Sunday. The match is set to kick off at 9 a.m. ET at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, England. Below, we preview the Tottenham vs. Wolverhampton odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham defeated reigning champion Manchester City 1-0 Sunday. Although City was the more dominant side and pressed heavily on the home Tottenham, it was the counterattacking that proved to be the difference in the match.

Tottenham F Son Heung-Min, who tied for fourth in the EPL in goals scored last season, scored the lone goal of the 2021-22 opening match. That’s more than the Wolves had to start their season.

Wolverhampton lost 1-0 to Leicester City Aug. 14. However, it managed nearly double the shots of its opponent, totaling 17 yet putting only 3 on target. It’ll enter as a home underdog in this match.

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Wolverhampton 1

Money line (ML)

BET on TOTTENHAM (+145) as the better side.

Half of soccer in the EPL is the game plan and Tottenham’s coaching staff certainly looked like they knew what they were doing against Manchester City, arguably the most talented club in the league.

The Hotspur will be forced into a different style of play as it’ll look to be the aggressors against a team that ended with 17 losses in 38 games a season ago.

F Harry Kane is setting bridges on fire at Tottenham, so don’t expect him to make the trip.

Over/Under (O/U)

“LEAN” to the UNDER 2.5 (-140) as Tottenham has arguably the most underrated defense in the EPL. It limited Man City to few attempts, as D Japhet Tanganga had an outstanding performance.

Along those lines, while Wolverhampton got shots on Leicester City, most of them weren’t quality as just 3 tried the keeper. Tottenham should have just as competent of a defense.

Without Kane, who would’ve been the best attacker in the match, expect a low-scoring game, one that likely ends with fewer than 3 goals in the back of the net.
