Saturday 3rd December 2016 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – England – Premier League Betting Tips
Tottenham’s unbeaten start to the Premier League season finally ended last weekend when they were beaten 2-1 away at London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but they now return to White Hart Lane where they’ll be confident of bouncing back against Swansea City.
Tottenham have drifted out to fifth place in the English top flight as a result of their recent defeat, but with a solid home record at The Lane that stands at 4-2-0 9/4 with the joint best defensive record at home in the division (along with Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton), Spurs look in good shape to keep a clean sheet here.
Spurs have been particularly ruthless when facing bottom half teams at home as they hold a record of 3-0-0 5/2 when in these situations with wins over Crystal Palace, Sunderland and West Ham, so a visit from second from bottom club Swansea City also shouldn’t pose too many problems.
Second from bottom Swansea City will make their way to the English capital on the back of winning a nine-goal thriller against Crystal Palace as The Swans ran out 5-4 winners to hand them their first league in 11 matches.
It’s been a long time between drinks for the Welsh side as their previous win in the English top flight was their opening day of the season 1-0 win away at Burnley, but their form has since slumped and they find themselves in the bottom three of the Premier League.
With just one point from their last five away matches, the writing appears to be on the wall for Swansea City ahead of this encounter with Tottenham who still remain unbeaten on home soil this season.
