Not an easy game to bet on, not because I do not think Spurs will win, but because value is thin on the ground for this match.
The bookies are making Tottenham the odds on favourites and no matter how confident I am, it is always very tricky to back a team odds on away from home.
Therefore what I have done is to look at bets that depend on a Spurs away win but offering me better odds than odds on.
I like the look of half time – full time bets and have come up with the following
Tottenham/Tottenham
Draw/Tottenham
Now, providing that Spurs win, the only way the bet can go down is if Blackburn are leading at half time, I do not think they will be doing and so the odds available on the above bets are rather good.
For the result, draw at half time, Spurs winning at full time you can get 17/4 with Unibet, that is just over 4/1.
For Tottenham to be leading at half time and win the odds from Ladbrokes are a very inviting 11/5
Depending on your stakes, you will be certain of a decent profit as long as Spurs win and Blackburn are not leading at half time.
Now, let me justify these bets
In four of Spurs last five games at least one of those bets would have won, that is 80% and looking at Blackburn, the truth is we should really win this game, as long as we win, we should make a profit and the stats back that up.
So these are the bets
Half Time/Full time bets
Tottenham/Tottenham – 11/5 with Ladbrokes
Draw/Tottenham – 17/4 with Unibet
