Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham
English Premier League, KO: 20:00 Oct 23, 2023, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR are setting the early pace in the Premier League table and they will look to maintain their place at the summit when they face Fulham at home on Monday night.
Ange Postecoglou has completely transformed Spurs, with the capital club one of only two teams yet to taste defeat in the top-flight this term.
Even with ten-men, Tottenham maintained their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with a battling 1-0 win away at Luton before the international break.
There's a real feel-good factor at Spurs at the moment and they will fancy their chances of filing another three points at the expense of Fulham.
The Cottagers exceeded all expectations on their return to the top-flight last season as they secured a top-half finish – their highest Premier League placing since 2011-12.
Marco Silva's men have since made a mixed start to the new the campaign, though they should be in good spirits after snapping a three-game winless run with a 3-1 success against Sheffield United a fortnight ago.
Outright Betting
Tottenham, who have triumphed in seven of the last eight Premier League encounters between the pair, are short priced 1/2 (Bet 365) favourites.
Despite eliminating Spurs from this season’s EFL Cup, Fulham make the short trip across the city as 5/1 (PaddyPower) underdogs while a share of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium spoils pays out at 18/5 (William Hill).
Betting Angles
Tottenham are fair 1/2 favourites here but we can back the hosts to overcome a -1 hurdle on the Asian Handicap at 81/100 (Bet 365) and that looks like a worthy boost in price.
This selection means if the hosts prevail by two or more goals we will be paid out, if they win by a solitary strike then stakes are returned, and that should give us a good run for our money.
As already alluded to, Tottenham are riding the crest of a wave at the moment and they can preserve their perfect home record by putting Fulham to the sword on Monday night.
Ange Postecoglou has already steered his side to home wins over Manchester and Liverpool and the hosts should have too much class for a Fulham side that look a considerably weaker outfit this term
Marco Silva’s men were comfortably beaten 2-0 when hosting Chelsea earlier this month and it would be fair to say that a trip to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will represent an upgrade on that challenge.
In fact, this bet would have paid out in each of Fulham’s three Premier League defeats this season so far and I see no reason to oppose the same selection on Monday night when they head to table-topping Tottenham.
I’ll also dip into the anytime goalscorer market and back Heung-min Son to get on the scoresheet at 11/10 with Bet 365
The Spurs skipper has hit six goals across his last five Premier League appearances and he looks like a great value opportunity to strike against a Fulham aside that are not exactly renowned for keeping clean sheets.
