Tottenham Hotspur U21 favored in tough trip
Tottenham Hotspur U21 is available at 41/100 to take the win in Friday’s Premier League 2 encounter with relegation-threatened Blackburn Rovers U21, who are a 421/100 outsider for the result.
Spurs sit 8th in the table with 32 points from 19 games, while Rovers are 28th with 14 points from the same number of games played.
Spurs U21 will likely be gunning for a home knockout tie while Rovers are desperately clinging on to their slim playoff hopes.
Tactical battle promises to be intriguing
This game pits a structured, possession-based side against a team with a more direct, physical style. Mike Sheron’s Rovers side are good at getting the ball into wide areas quickly and playing off the shoulders of the strikers, with their pace and directness creating chances.
Wayne Burnett’s Spurs U21 side plays a more technical, possession-based game, but they have the option to go direct when they need to. They are more structured than their opponents, so it will be interesting to see if Rovers can make them pay for sitting deep.
Spurs have the players to win games
Blackburn Rovers U21 will need to be on form if they are to upset the odds on Friday, and they haven’t been on form recently, losing all of their last 5 matches, including their last 3 at home.
Joe Boggan has been one of the few positives in a difficult campaign for Rovers, and his 2 goals in their last 6 give Rovers the best chance of making their mark on this game.
Spurs U21 have been a bit up and down recently, winning 2 and losing 3 of their last 5, but they come into this match after a 2-game winning streak. James Wilson has also been in form, contributing 3 of Spurs’ 6 goals in the same period.
Spurs should come out on top
With Spurs U21 being the far superior side in the league table, and with far superior recent form and far greater quality in the attacking third, we’re backing the favourites to come away with 3 points.
The ‘Both teams to score - Yes’ market is a heavy favourite in this one, and we can definitely see both defences being breached here. Rovers will give it a go, and there’s more than enough attacking quality in the Spurs side to create plenty of chances.
