Tottenham v Burnley

Tottenham vs Burnley Preview

Tottenham picked up a fourth win in five games on New Years Eve when they registered a 3-1 home win against Bournemouth and the north London club will now turn its attentions to this third round FA Cup tie against fellow Premier League outfit, Burnley, who were dealt a 3-2 loss away from home at Aston Villa which left Vincent Kompany's side sitting second from bottom in the English top flight table.

Previous wins against Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest and Everton should give Tottenham plenty of confidence ahead of this upcoming cup tie and although Ange Postecoglou's side suffered a 4-2 defeat away from home at Brighton recently, Spurs now return to home soil where they have posted three wins on the trot.

The bigger picture shows that Tottenham have racked up nine wins out of their last 12 home games in all competitions while 10 of these 12 home games have also resulted in three goals or more being scored, so this upcoming fixture against Burnley looks like being an entertaining affair.

In addition, Tottenham have scored two goals or more in nine of these 12 home games and this should stand Spurs in good stead for this upcoming FA Cup clash.

Onto Burnley, and the Lancashire visitors were dealt a second defeat on the trot last time out in the Premier League when they found themselves on the end of a 3-2 loss away from home at Aston Villa which followed a previous 2-0 defeat at home to Liverpool, so this upcoming trip to the nation's capital looks a tough one for Vincent Kompany's side.

Indeed, Burnley have managed to capture just two wins out of their last 14 matches in all competitions which came in the form of victories over Sheffield United and Fulham although it should also be noted that The Clarets have also been handed no fewer than 11 defeats within this period as well.

Eight of these 14 games have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals as well, so the prospects of a few goals at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Friday night look promising especially as five of Burnley's last eight outings on the road have also seen three goals or more scored, while the visitors have managed to collect just one win on their travels during this period.

Tottenham v Burnley Verdict

Burnley have managed to keep just one clean sheet in their last eight away games overall and considering Tottenham's impressive run of results on home soil at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, this looks like being a fairly straightforward home win here for Ange Postecoglou's side who will be looking to go into the hat for the fourth round draw at the first time of asking.

Therefore, our main bet will be Tottenham win @ 1.50

Other side bets worth considering:

Tottenham win & Over 2.5 goals @ 2.10

Correct Score: Tottenham 3-0 @ 11.00
