Tottenham Hotspur host Burnley at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday afternoon in a Premier League fixture that could have a huge impact on both Spurs’ battle for Champions League qualification and Burnley’s hopes of beating the drop. As we look ahead to this season-defining Premier League fixture we will provide in-depth match insights, expert betting tips and the latest form and odds from our betting partners at Betfred.

Form

Spurs have a mountain to climb if they’re to pinch fourth place in the Premier League. Four straight losses have seen Ange Postecoglu’s side fall seven points behind Aston Villa, albeit from one game fewer. Spurs lost 4-2 at Liverpool last weekend whilst their last home league game saw them lose 3-2 against fierce rivals, Arsenal. Tottenham Hotspur have taken 60 points from their 35 matches so far.

Saturday’s visitors, Burnley are five points from safety with just two games to play having earned just 24 points from their 36 matches. The Clarets suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to Newcastle United last weekend to bring a three-game unbeaten run to an end.

Tottenham Hotspur v Burnley: Head-to-Head

Spurs have already defeated Burnley twice this season. The reverse fixture at Turf Moor ended 5-2 in favour of the side from North London with Son Heung-min scoring a hat-trick for the visitors. The two sides met at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the FA Cup third round in January and it was again Spurs that emerged successful.

Burnley have never won at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with their last away win at Spurs coming at White Hart Lane way back in January 1983.

Betting Tips

There is so much at stake in North London on Saturday; Spurs’ hopes of a top four finish will be dashed if they fail to claim all three points whilst anything but a win for Burnley will consign Vincent Kompany’s to an immediate return to the Sky Bet Championship. Whilst this could result in a rather cagey encounter, neither of these sides are particularly solid at the back. We’re tipping a wide-open match at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with over 2.5 match goals, a solid betting selection at odds of 2/9.

Son Heung-min netted three times in the reverse fixture and the Spurs captain was back amongst the goals away at Liverpool last weekend. Below are some goalscorer markets in which you should consider backing Son Heung-min.
