Spurs face a battle for fifth place and need three points against Blackpool in the Premier League on Saturday; the visitors are also desperate for points as their top flight safety is in the balance.
Spurs’ Champions League exploits have taken their toll on the club’s league form and Harry Redknapp’s men have dropped to sixth place in the table, behind Liverpool on goal difference after last weekend’s results. Spurs were beaten 2-1 at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Chelsea scoring two controversial goals after Sandro had given the visitors the lead.
Blackpool are in 17th place and sit above Wigan on goal difference, with both clubs on 35 points. Ian Holloway’s side have looked out of their element in the second half of the season and now look tired and fatigued. Their last outing saw them draw 0-0 at home with Stoke, and the Seasiders haven’t won in eight games – their last victory was a 3-1 win over Spurs back in February.
Both clubs need points for different reasons, and despite Tottenham’s fall from grace over the last month they should have too much quality for Blackpool; my Premier League football betting tip is a 2-1 win for Spurs.
