Game Preview

Again, the Spurs are in a hole. They’ve gone four matches without a victory after beating Manchester United 4-3 in the previous Carabao Cup round. Three of those contests ended with Tottenham losing and one with a tie.

It’s important to say that the defense was the main reason why Ange Postecoglou’s team suffered such terrible losses. Over the span of these four matches, Tottenham conceded 11 goals.

Liverpool slipped at home against Manchester United. No, the Reds haven’t lost, but a 2-2 tie is more or less the same as losing, particularly when the Red Devils are across the field.

Four of the Spurs’ previous six contests have seen over 3.5 goals. That’s nothing new for Tottenham, because they play high-scoring matches, usually with hits on both ends of the field.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool Head-to-Head

Liverpool dismantled Tottenham in London on December 22, when they trashed the hosts 3-6. To be honest, the Reds could have scored at least 10 goals here.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool Prediction

This is a two-leg semis, but even so, we don’t expect to see some conservative tactics in the opening 90 minutes. Simply, both Tottenham and Liverpool play interesting and engaging soccer. Therefore, we bet on both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals.
