Liverpool vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips, Preview

For all of Spurs’ misfiring’s this season, going forward has never been the issue. Their issues can be shown by just the 1 clean sheet in 12 games in a surprising 1-0 win away at Frankfurt as well as Liverpool being priced at just 1/6 to score 2+ today. Despite that, they’re fairly on form at the other end and are nicely priced to force 2 saves out of Alisson here.

Against Nottingham Forest, one of the higher flying sides in the PL, Spurs managed 22 shots and 5 on target in a 2-1 defeat. Their last PL away day summed up their season as they hit the target 4 times yet lost 4-2. When they’ve faced Liverpool this season, they failed to hit the target once and managed 9 SOT’s over the other 2 games, landing this selection in both.

Liverpool are obviously one of the more resilient back lines in the league but they still leak chances. They played the worst attacking side in the league in Leicester last time out but before then had 4 saves vs West Ham and 3 vs Fulham. This leg has landed against Liverpool in 6 of their last 8 games.

When Spurs play, corner counts are often high. When Liverpool play, corner counts are often high. No sides games have seen more corners than Spurs, including the 2nd highest corners in their game on the road. They also have the 2nd most corners taken P/90 of any side on the road in the PL this season, only trailing Liverpool themselves.

Spurs have averaged 7 corners P/90 this season, including 6.31 P/90 on the road in the PL. They’ve landed this selection in 8 games straight, including both legs vs Frankfurt and a road trip to Chelsea. Against Liverpool in the league this season, they managed 7 corners. They also had 4 against Liverpool at Anfield when they were bounced out the cup. Everton, Fulham, PSG x2, Aston Villa, Man City, Newcastle and even Southampton have landed this selection vs Liverpool recently.

Romero’s recent foul record doesn’t warrant this price at all. To start with, Romero has been booked in both of his last 2 games, including just a 45 minute outing vs Forest before he was hooked to stop chances of a red card. All in all, Romero has committed a foul in each of his last 8 games, including 2+ in 4 of those games.

Romero’s missed all 3 outings vs Liverpool this season but picked up a card in the home fixture last season. Liverpool’s attacking line, whichever lineup is deployed, often draw fouls with the nature of their system. Diogo Jota draws 1.01 P/90, Salah 1.02 P/90, Gakpo 1.16 P/90, Diaz 1.21 P/90 and Nunez 1.25 P/90. Of the likely culprits to bring one of them down, Romero ranks highly and is nicely priced here.

Spurs have been void of any real quality without Dejan Kulusevski in the starting XI recently. One of the few bright spots for Spurs, Kulusevski has spent just over a month ruled out with injury and since his return picked up his first start on Monday vs Nottingham Forest.

Immediately on his return, a 16 minute cameo vs Wolves, Kulusevski was backing drawing fouls. Prior to injury, in his 24 minute cameo vs City, he was fouled there too. When these sides faced off in the league earlier this season in the 6-3, Kulusevski was fouled 3 times by Alexis Mac Allister, Diogo Jota and Luis Diaz, landing this selection after 34 minutes. On his probable return to full 90’s, I expect Kulusevski to be the key to Spurs’ counter attacks and more than likely to be dragged down.
