ANTONIO CONTE will take charge of Tottenham for the first time when Vitesse visit north London in the Europa Conference League on Thursday night.
Spurs' strong start to the season has rapidly deteriorated and Saturday's limp 3-0 loss to Manchester United sealed Nuno Espirito Santo's fate.
Tottenham have swiftly made their move to tie up a deal for the highly-rated Italian who has won silverware everywhere he has managed.
Conte may well consider the inaugural Europa Conference League as an ideal opportunity to end Tottenham's 14-year trophy drought.
However, Spurs' hopes of qualifying for the round of 32 were dented after their second-string side lost 1-0 at Vittesse in the reverse fixture.
That triumph has seen Thomas Letsch's team leapfrog Tottenham in the Group G standings and the Eredivisie outfit will now endeavour to complete a memorable double when they roll into the English capital on Thursday night.
Outright Betting
Tottenham are expected to exact revenge on Vittesse on Thursday night, with a home win trading at a lowly 3/10 with SBK.
Another Vitesse victory can be backed at a lofty 42/5 (SBK) while a share of the spoils pays 22/5 (SBK) with the same firm.
Betting Angles
The Antonio Conte reign should get off to a winning start but you won't get rich backing Tottenham at the aforementioned price.
I’ll therefore head to the Bet Builder market and combine Tottenham to win, over one Tottenham goal and over four Tottenham corners which pays 21/20 with Bet 365.
Spurs are expected to field a strong side at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Thursday night as they look to arrest their slide and a visit from Vittesse could be an ideal opportunity to start building some confidence.
Conte has a hugely talented group of players at his disposal, all of whom should be eager to make a positive impression on their latest chief.
What's more, Tottenham have triumphed in both of their European home games this term by a minimum three-goal winning-margin, and a similar success wouldn't come as a surprise in north London on Thursday night.
As such, I'm more than happy to merge a Spurs win and at least two strikes, but to boost the price, I'll throw over four Tottenham corners into the equation.
With an optimistic home crowd in situ, Tottenham, who are averaging 5.6 corners per-game in the Premier League this season, should dominate the tempo of the game, not to mention history shows that Conte's preferred system focuses on width.
With all that in mind, the aforementioned Bet Builder makes plenty of appeal on a night that should see Antonio Conte's Tottenham tenure get off to the perfect start .
