Tottenham v Leeds betting tips: Conte hunting first Spurs victory
Published:
Preview and odds for Sunday’s Premier League clash
Antonio Conte’s first Premier League game in charge of Spurs ended in a goalless draw and he will be eyeing up a first victory as we look at the odds to find some Tottenham v Leeds betting tips.
The Italian is sure to have had his squad hard at work on the training pitch ahead of the Whites visit and he will be hoping Harry Kane continues the form he showed in an England shirt in the last week.
Sunday’s clash, which takes place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, kicks off at 4.30pm and can be seen live on Sky Sports.
Tottenham v Leeds match odds
Tottenham will be keen to see the removal of Nuno Espirito Santo bring about an upturn in fortunes and their current league position of ninth will be seen as an unacceptable position by most Spurs supporters.
Conte is known as a terrific organiser and a man who achieves immediate results and will be keen to impress the Spurs faithful in his first home fixture.
They are the 8/11 favourites for this contest with struggling Leeds, who have escaped the drop zone by taking four points from their last two games.
Marcelo Bielsa’s side are 13/2 for a third win of the season, but they are by no means out of the relegation picture and priced up at 9/2 in the Premier League relegation odds for a drop to the Championship.
Both sides drew their last outings and it is 29/10 for this to end all square in Tottenham v Leeds betting tips.
It is three games since both sides have found the scoresheet in a Premier League game involving Tottenham and both teams not to score is 11/10, while it is 21/20 for under 2.5 in this game featuring two of the top flight’s lowest-scoring sides.
Tottenham v Leeds head-to-head
It was one victory apiece in Leeds’ first season back in the Premier League last term.
Bielsa’s side won 3-1 at Elland Road in May, while Kane was on the scoresheet as Spurs won 3-0 in the first meeting between these two at Tottenham’s new stadium.
A second consecutive clean sheet and another Tottenham win to nil is a a possibility here if Conte continues tightening up the Spurs back line and that is priced up at 21/10 in Tottenham v Leeds betting tips.
Son Heung-Min scored both home and away against Leeds last term and the South Korea international is 7/2 to break the deadlock and 6/5 to score at anytime.
Tottenham v Leeds key battles
Although they have got better in defence in recent weeks, Leeds still possess the joint-fifth worst defensive record in the league.
Their back-line has been riddled with injuries while star men Kalvin Phillips and Patrick Bamford have also been missing for some of their key fixtures this term.
Brazilian Raphinha has carried Leeds in Bamford’s absence and he is 4/1 to be Leeds’ first goalscorer, while it is 19/4 for him to provide an assist in the match.
Having registered back-to-back hat-tricks for England while on international duty, Kane will be keen to end his Premier League goal drought.
The 28-year-old is 15/2 to score in each half, with another hat-trick 18/1 in Tottenham v Leeds betting tips.
A #YourCall special involving both teams to score, Kane to have two or more shots on target and Raphinha to have at least one shot on target can be backed at 11/4.
