HULL CITY v TOTTENHAM
Sunday 21st May 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
After a torrid season, then a glimmer of hope with a solid run of results at home, it’s all over for Hull City who saw their Premier League survival effectively end with a surprising 2-0 defeat at home to Sunderland who had already been relegated at that point.
This will therefore be Hull’s last Premier League match at their KCOM Stadium for at least another season as The Tigers will bow out against Tottenham here, and although they gave it everything, there must now be a deflated feeling around the club as the Championship looms.
Just one win from their last six league matches overall did for Hull’s hopes of avoiding the drop including the recent back-to-back defeats to Sunderland and Crystal Palace, and with a much higher calibre of opposition visiting this afternoon, further trouble surely lies ahead for the hosts despite possessing a reasonable home record of 8-4-6 27/28.
Onto Tottenham then, and although they ultimately lost their Premier League title race with London rivals Chelsea, there’s been much to celebrate this season as Sours will now go onto the Champions League next season.
During the summer, manager Pochettino is expected to dip into the transfer market in order to bolster his squad as they’ll fight on at least two fronts, and they’ll be desperate to hold onto their star asset, striker Harry Kane, who laid down a marker during the week when he scored 4 goals in Tottenham’s 6-1 demolition of Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Kane currently hold a two-goal lead over Everton’s Lukaku, but you’d have to fancy Kane to notch again here against a fragile Hull defence, along with Tottenham’s 11 wins from their last 12 matches pedigree.
