Both teams are coming off dominating wins in their opening games of the season, winning by 4 and 3 goals. Tottenham is coming off a huge season in their European League presence, as they were crowned champions of the Europa League, and I think that they are undervalued in this spot. They were terrible in the Premier League last season, but they looked good in the season opener, and actually won in Manchester last season. I like the value that we are getting at +1.5 goals for Tottenham, as I don’t think that they will lose by more than one goal in this one.
