Tottenham v Fulham Betting Tips – Premier League, 18th August 3.00pm

Tottenham didn’t go shopping over the summer in the transfer market, but they still went out and produced a win out on the road at Newcastle last weekend. So that was a positive start by them and as their new stadium isn’t ready yet, they head back to Wembley for this game. Fulham will have been disappointed not to have gotten anything out of their home game against Crystal Palace last weekend. This is a tough game in which to try and recover. Read our predictions for Tottenham v Fulham for more.

Tottenham News and Form

The Lilywhites got themselves off to a winning start as they collected a 2-1 win at Newcastle. There was some pressure on their shoulders too because they decided not to dip into the transfer market over the summer. They got the job done at St James’ Park through early goals from Jan Vertonghen and Dele Alli. It is Harry Kane who is the 21/20 first goalscorer favourite* (Betting Odds were taken on August 16th, 2018 at 4:13 p.m.) for the game. Surprisingly Kane did get a full game against Newcastle after his efforts at the World Cup in the summer. But again there is still that record over his head of never having scored a Premier League goal in the month of August. Can he break that?

Tottenham went W13 D4 L2 last season in their home games played at Wembley which is where they will be back at this weekend. Spurs have won seven of their last eight home games in the league, the only exception a loss against Manchester City. There will be plenty of expectancy on them to collect three points here and a Tottenham 2-0 option in the correct score market is one of our top predictions for Tottenham v Fulham at 6/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on August 16th, 2018 at 4:13 p.m.). Spurs did average over two goals per game last season at home, conceding under a goal per game on average. The Lilywhites have netted at least two goals in six of their last seven games against Fulham too. Eight of their eleven home wins were to nil as well which offers another option. Spurs are unbeaten in 36 of their last 38 league home games.

Fulham News and Form

Fulham couldn’t get anything out of their efforts against Crystal Palace last weekend at Craven Cottage. They totally dominated the game in terms of possession and they played some really neat, accurate passing stuff. But they couldn’t convert their chances and were punished and that is a harsh lesson they are going to have to learn to deal with in the Premier League. Both Teams not to score in the match is at 3/4 odds* (Betting Odds were taken on August 16th, 2018 at 4:13 p.m.) and Fulham aren’t likely to find possession as easy to come by against Spurs.

The Cottagers do have a very good squad in place though but they won’t be at full strength for this one. Alfie Mawson and big summer signing Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa are doubtful for the game. With Denis Odoi suspended still there are going to be gaps across their back line. That all combines to make this a tough road game and following their misfire against Palace last weekend, there is going to be some early pressure on the west Londoners if they remain without a point after two games.

Tottenham v Fulham Head to Head

Spurs and Fulham met as recently as last year when they contested an FA Cup match at Craven Cottage. Spurs produced a comfortable 3-0 win in that clash. That is a three-match winning streak that they are on now against Fulham. The last time they were together in the Premier League was in the 2013/14 season with Spurs winning both of those games. Spurs have won four of their last five (D1) Premier League home games against Fulham.

Tottenham v Fulham Predictions

Tottenham to win: Spurs will be back on familiar turf in this one at Wembley and we can see them doing enough against Fulham to produce the victory. Fulham will have been disappointed against Palace about not getting on the scoresheet at least. Back Spurs to win to nil.
