Stoke vs Tottenham Match preview

England - Premier League: Stoke vs Tottenham

Funny as it may sound, this is the derby of the bottom of the table, as both Stoke and Tottenham are in the relegation zone. The teams are in a really poor form and this game is the chance to get away from the bottom of the table. Stoke lost from Portsmouth in the last round, while Tottenham suffered another disappointing defeat, by losing to Hull City at White Hart Lane.

Stoke is in trouble

Stoke lost the last two league games and they are now in the relegation zone. The Potters know they have to win home games if they want to stay in the league and what better way to start then against Tottenham who is in a lot of problems. Britannia stadium will be packed, as all the tickets have been sold. Stoke hope that the fans support will help them this very important match. The team will not be afraid to attack Tottenham and their recent home record shows that the Potters play very attacking football at home. Stoke scored 7 goals in their last four home games and conceded 9, which makes the total of 4 goals average per game. Two very important defenders, Sonko and Faye had a horrid time playing for Senegal and they narrowly escaped the rage of their own fans, which means that they will be a bit shaken. This could weaken already poor defense, and create a lot of problems for the team.

Spurs are still rock bottom

Spurs are still at the foot of the table and without a win after seven rounds of the Premier League. They lost from Hull at home and again they created enough chances to score but thanks to some poor finishing they lost the game by a single goal. The players believe that their luck will change and that they will be able to win this match. Ramos will probably play Corluka on the right back in order to deal with the aerial threat of Stoke and also because the Croat is cup-tied for the UEFA Cup match against Udinese. Gareth Bale will continue at left back position, while King and Woodgate will fill the central roles. Pavlichenko is still not fully ready and Bent will start in attack, probably supported by Modric and Lennon, who can create a lot of problems for Stoke’s slow defenders. Jenas will also help from midfield and that should be enough to score a couple of times against poor Stoke.

Betting verdict

These are the teams really low in confidence and defenders will be prone to making mistakes. Both teams have to play for a win and Tottenham especially has great attacking players. This will surely be an open game and we will see a lot of goals.
