The fact that Tottenham were playing in the Champions League last year due to the fact that they finished fourth in the league the year before that actually led to their league position suffering and they consequently didn’t qualify for this year’s Champions League. That means that I would imagine they will nick the fourth placed spot this season due to the fact that Arsenal will be competing in this year’s tournament and so will have to divide their attention between their European and domestic campaigns. Also, Arsenal have had their midfield decimated by the departures of their captain – Cesc Fabregas – and their most creative player last season – Samir Nasri – while Spurs were able to hold on to Luka Modric despite a summer of Chelsea attempting to lure him away with the promise of Champions League football and big wages.
Spurs also have a roster of strikers that will be able to trouble any team in the country. Jermaine Defoe is lethal on his day while Rafael Van der Vaart seems to somehow always find space in the opposition’s penalty area at crucial moments. Roman Pavlyuchenko is also a superb finisher meaning that the departure of Peter Crouch to Stoke in the summer has not cost Harry Redknapp’s team too dear. They also have numerous options in midfield. The signing of Scott Parker means that they now have some defensive bite in the middle of the park, while Gareth Bale continues to improve in leaps and bounds each game that he plays. His pace would terrify any right back in the world and his crossing has also vastly improved. Their defence also looks very solid. Ledley King seems to have recovered from the chronic knee problems that have plagued him for years and Dawson is also a quality centre back.
If you are thinking of taking my advice and betting on Spurs finishing fourth this year then I would also recommend that you combine this bet in a multiplier with another sport. For example you could take a look at the current trends in cricket betting. You could take a look at Sri Lanka cricket odds for their upcoming test series and combine your bet on Spurs with a cricket betting. By creating a multiplier in this way you will improve the odds of the bets involved in the multiplier and get the most value from your money if both your bets come good.
