MONEY ON SPURS

Tottenham Hotspur have made a good start to the Premier league season, but they have found it difficult to score goals even after spending a lot of money on attacking players like Roberto Soldado and Lamela.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas recently criticised the home fans for lacklustre atmosphere at the White Hart Lane for the recent home match against Hull. Tottenham were likely to come away from this match with a 1-0 win. They will be looking to improve on their performance when they take on Newcastle on Sunday.

Manager Andre Villas-Boas recently criticised the home fans for lacklustre atmosphere at the White Hart Lane for the recent home match against Hull. Tottenham were likely to come away from this match with a 1-0 win. They will be looking to improve on their performance when they take on Newcastle on Sunday.

Newcastle come into the match on the back of a huge win over Chelsea last weekend. It was a win that came at a least expected moment, but Alan Pardew’s men have been very inconsistent this campaign. It would not be surprising to see them suffer a defeat against Tottenham. As a result, they are backed at 11/2 by major bookmakers. Due to the impressive home form this season, one cannot see much returns by betting on a Tottenham victory since they are rated at around 8/15 to win the match.

Given the home team’s inability to score a lot of goals, a draw at 4/1 seems like a great odd ahead of the first match on Sunday.

“It is still early in the season but if we can keep all our players fit, I am sure we will be looking for the same as last year – which was to try and get in the top four. That is always a main aim. We also like to do well in the cups and Europe. We want to stick in with everything. We do not want to go out of one competition just to concentrate on another. We want to go for the best of everything,” said Tottenham defender Kyle Walker ahead of the encounter.

MOYES IS FAVOURITE

Even the Everton manager David Moyes was the favourite to take over from Harry Redknapp as the manager of Tottenham, the latest soccer betting odds predicted that it will be former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas who will be taking over the hot seat at White Hart Lane.

The Portuguese manager has been out of work after having been sacked by the London club back in March. Even though he guided FC Porto to an incredible four trophies in one season, he has been extremely poor in his spell at Chelsea. He has been unable to manage the big egos at the club.

However, he has become the firm favourite for the job if the football odds are to be believed. The bookmakers have slashed the odds for Andre Villas-Boas to become the next Tottenham manager. This comes as a major surprise given that many predicted that it would be Everton manager David Moyes who will be getting the offer from Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy after having done such an extraordinary job with the Merseyside club in the last 10 years. However, Moyes has said that he has not received any formal offer from Tottenham to take over at white Hart Lane.

Meanwhile, it is also thought that Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is also looking at the possibility of making France national team manager Laurent Blanc as the man to succeed Harry Redknapp. The former Portsmouth manager recently left the club after differences between him and the chairman became extraordinary. It was thought that Harry Redknapp was looking at bringing in a number of players in the summer transfer window, while Daniel Levy was quite content with the squad at the club right now. Andre Villas-Boas is thought to have insisted the club upon the retaining of star midfielder Luka Modric.
