Tottenham v West Brom Betting Preview – Premier League 14th January 12.30pm
Spurs have put together a five match winning streak in the top flight and before the break for the FA Cup, they landed an impressive win over Chelsea, snapping the long winning streak that the Blues were on in the Premier League. So the Lilywhites could climb up into second place even temporarily, with a win in this one. Three of the last four between these at White Hart Lane though have ended in a 1-1 draw. West Brom have put together a great season and have a little winning form of their own going. However, once more this season they have struggled when it is has come to facing up against the big guns in the league. Can they grind out a point against the in-form North Londoners?

Tottenham v West Brom Betting Tips
There is certainly no issues with Tottenham’s form at the moment. The Lilywhites are steaming along at the moment and they will be expected to collect another three points when they face the Baggies on Saturday lunchtime. However, with that said, they have won just one of their last seven against West Brom in the Premier League now, with five of those seven having been drawn. The last three league meetings between the two clubs have produced 1-1 draws, including the meeting earlier in the season at the Hawthorns. A 1-1 correct score option at Boylesports on this one is a price of 10/1 and that naturally is going to have some appeal. As will the draw in the match outright. Mauricio Pochettino has seen his side go W8 D2 L0 at home this season in the Premier League, staying unbeaten. This is Tottenham’s longest unbeaten stretch on home soil from the beginning of a Premier League season since 2000/01 (13 games). That run ended against Leeds in February. Spurs are currently on a five match winning streak at home and they have conceded only one goal in their last four games at home as well.
Spurs to win to nil with bookmaker Boylesports is a 20/21 price. The Lilywhites are on a five match winning streak at the Lane and they have conceded the one goal only in their last four there. Tottenham to win to nil at Bet365 is running at a price of 20/21. The last three between these have ended in a 1-1 draw. Spurs are benefitting from Dele Alli being in great form at the moment and he has scored in two of his previous three Premier League appearances against West Brom. Alli can be backed at a 13/10 quote in the anytime goalscorer market, with Harry Kane at 8/11 and going as favorite. Tottenham have scored two goals or more in each of their last five games played now, netting a total of 15 goals in the process. But it may be worth going under 2.5 goals at Boylesports on this one at even money as eight of the last ten meetings between these in the Premier League have gone under the goal line. It is a pretty big trend. Tottenham’s win over rivals Chelsea on January 4th should have given them tremendous belief that they can get in the title hunt. While they are unbeaten in four against West Brom, can they actually find a way to beat them?
The Baggies have put together a very good season but while they are going along nicely, they haven’t beaten anyone above them in the league standings this season. So they aren’t reliable against the big guns in the top flight. Only in 2012-13 have West Brom won more points from their first 20 games of a Premier League season than in 2016-17 (29) so that just shows how well they are going by their standards. Matt Phillips has been in great form, with four goals and seven assists in his last ten Premier League matches. You have a price of 3/1 on Salomon Rondon as their shortest priced anytime goalscorer option though here. Defender Craig Dawson scored at both ends in the 1-1 draw earlier in the season between these at the Hawthorns. West Brom have only gone W3 D3 L4 away from home this season in the Premier League and have picked up just the one win in their last four away from the Hawthorns (D1 L2). They have failed to score in three of their four away defeats this term.

Tottenham v West Brom Predictions
Spurs to edge a win in this one is the most likely outcome. West Brom will give them a good game but Tottenham have started to hum again and are looking full of confidence. The Baggies still seem to have issues when it comes to facing up to the best sides in the league and they are likely to just fall short in this one. Look under 2.5 goals on a home win probably by just the one goal margin at the end of the day.
