For Liverpool FC the fight to defend their title is getting thinner. Jürgen Klopp’s team has been without a win for five league games and has fallen far behind in the Premier League table. The gap to the new front runner Manchester City is seven points. On Thursday evening, the Reds in north London are facing the next serious test.
Before the eagerly anticipated top game between Tottenham and Liverpool, the odds of the best bookmakers, which are still relatively clear in the direction of the reigning champions, make for a little misunderstanding.
In particular, the fact that the LFC only won two of their nine away games this season prompts us to critically question whether a prediction on the visiting three-man between Tottenham and Liverpool is really the best choice.
A potential bet on a small number of goals may be more interesting because Salah, Manè and Co. in particular also had considerable problems with accommodating the gaming device in the opposing housing. If the lean period continues at the end of the 20th matchday in the English capital, you can also think about a tip on a maximum of two goals during the duel between Tottenham and Liverpool.
Tottenham – Stats & current form
Jose Mourinho started his job at Tottenham Hotspur Football Club with the aim of winning titles. At the end of April, the Portuguese coach will have the first chance to bag silverware. Then the North Londoners have to deal with Manchester City in the final of the English League Cup.
In the Premier League, on the other hand, the Lilywhites are a bit left out in the race for the championship. The capital club is currently eight points short of first place. After all, the Spurs still have some catching up to do and could climb to fourth if they succeed. The prerequisite for this, however, would be that the Champions League finalist from 2019 gets more consistency in their own performances.
Tottenham has the second-best defence in the league
Looking back on the past seven Premier League matches, Tottenham only achieved two full successes. At least the current seventh has been unbeaten in four league games. With the exception of Harry Kane, the Londoners rarely managed to convince. The international striker could meet on Thursday for the first time since January 2019 in four consecutive games in the country’s top division.
The showpiece of the Mourinho team is still the defensive. Only Manchester City have conceded fewer goals (13) than Spurs (17) so far this season. In eleven of the 18 completed matches, a bet on the Under 2.5 would have been crowned with success. At home, more than two goals were scored in only a third of the nine games played.
Coupled with the high importance of the duel against a direct competitor, the corresponding odds on sub-goals should also be kept in view on Thursday between Tottenham and Liverpool. In terms of personnel, “The Special One” definitely has to do without Lo Celso. Aurier, Doherty and Alli could also fail, although a final decision on this should only be made in the short term.
The probable lineup of Tottenham:
Lloris; Aurier, Dier, Rodon, Reguilon; Sissoko, Hojbjerg; Bergwijn, Ndombele, Son; Kane
Last matches from Tottenham:

01/25 2021 Wycombe 1 – 4 Tottenham

Liverpool – stats & current form
Jürgen Klopp is currently experiencing one of the most difficult phases of his tenure at Liverpool FC. While his Reds ploughed from victory to victory and record to record in the previous year, only one year later the same players are once again the epitome of setting top scores – but this time in a negative way.
Not only is the defending champion last five consecutive times in the Premier League without a threesome, the huge fan base is currently shocking, but also the terrible record that the LFC recently failed to score four times in a row. In addition, last weekend’s industry leader failed in the FA Cup against arch-rivals Manchester United.
Liverpool in the Premier League in 2021 still without a goal
If you ignore the 4-1 success in the previous round of the cup against the forced youth team from Aston Villa, the Klopp-Elf is still waiting for their first win in 2021. Confidence has suffered from the recent negative trend and more and more players are critical of the current situation in the table sixth, who is already seven points behind ManCity and is actually doomed to win on Thursday if the hoped-for title defence should still work.
Given these facts and figures, we are far from giving a prediction of the away win between Tottenham and Liverpool. Especially against the background that the men from Merseyside are only 13th in the away table with just eleven points from nine games (2-5-2). A bet on under 2.5 goals, which would not have worked for the last time before Christmas in Premier League matches with Reds participation, is much better verifiable.
Not much has changed in the still tense personnel situation at the Champions League winner in 2019. The failures of Gomez, van Dijk, Jota or Keita weigh heavily. The commitment of Captain Henderson is also on the brink of the important game on the 20th matchday. So the omens could definitely be better.
The probable lineup of Liverpool:
Alisson; Alexander-Arnold, Matip, Fabinho, Robertson; Wijnaldum, Thiago, Oxlade-Chamberlain; Salah, Firmino, Mane
Last matches from Liverpool:
FA Cup
01/24 2021 Manchester United 3 – 2 Liverpool FC

Tottenham vs Liverpool – Direct comparison / H2H balance
In recent years, Tottenham has emerged as something of a favourite opponent for Liverpool. The Reds were able to win five times in a row against the Spurs in the league. If the sixth win in a row and the third consecutive away win in North London follows on Thursday, this would mean a first in the joint history of both clubs.
The Klopp team will also fondly remember the first leg of the current season. In his own stadium, the reigning titleholder prevailed 2-1 thanks to a last-minute goal from Roberto Firmino. Also interesting: In three of the last five Spurs home games against LFC, a maximum of two goals were scored. A good omen for our tip in the upcoming 156th first division duel?
Tottenham vs Liverpool Betting Predictions and Odds by PicksSoccer Experts
“The Special One” versus “The Normal One” – next Thursday it’s that time again. With Jose Mourinho and Jürgen Klopp, two of the best and most successful coaches of their generations face each other in a direct duel. If we believe the odds between Tottenham and Liverpool, then the role of favourites rests on the shoulders of the German coach.
This assessment is not one hundred percent comprehensible, because the reigning titleholder has been waiting for a win for five Premier League games, recently failed to score four times in a row and landed only two away wins in nine attempts over the entire season. The good record in the most recent duels against Spurs (five successes in a row) is not enough for us to place a bet on the guest triple.
Key facts – Tottenham vs Liverpool tips
- Tottenham has the second-best defence in the league with only 17 goals conceded
- Eleven of 18 Spurs games ended with a maximum of two goals
- Liverpool haven’t scored in the Premier League in 2021
Instead, we focus on the number of goals and find good arguments here to give a tip on a maximum of two goals in the top game Tottenham vs. Liverpool. On the one hand, the home side still has the second-best defence in the league. On the other hand, six of Spurs’ nine home games ended with the Under 2.5. At LFC it was even the last five Premier League games in which the corresponding line was not cracked.
