Tottenham in crisis, is the Champions League dream still achievable?
It’s not a mystery for anyone that Tottenham Hotspur is not living a fantastic moment. Obviously, they had big wins during the season, but only in December they lost against Chelsea and against Bournemouth and drew against Fulham.
The season so far has been very up and down for Spurs and the supporters don’t know what to expect from their team. It’s easy to say that this is a time of uncertainty and unpredictability in North London and it’s difficult to say if Tottenham will achieve the dream of playing in the Champions League next year.
How should bettors behave? Is Tottenham worth the risk?
Given the very up and down period for the Spurs, both from the point of view of the game and the results, it is not easy at all to predict the results of Tottenham’s matches. For this reason, if someone wishes to take this gamble, it is possible to take advantage of benefits that many online operators provide to players, such as existing Betfred user promotions. In this way, one has the opportunity to write off any possible loss by exploiting these promo codes. It is a nice way of lowering the risks related to an unpredictable bet with a very high level of difficulty. Tottenham could very well be worth a bet, since the team is strong and could bounce back from this period. Given the competitiveness of the Premier League, though, you never know.
What to expect in the near future
The next Tottenham’s fixtures aren’t that easy. It’s possible their ups and downs will carry on in December and January. The Spurs play Liverpool in the Premier League and Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day. In the last matchday of the year they face Wolverhampton and they open the new year with a clash against Newcastle. After the third round of the FA Cup, against Tamworth, which is clearly the easiest game of their month, they play the derby against Arsenal and then go to Liverpool, for a matchup against Everton, before the next round in Europa League. The next few weeks are going to be busy for Tottenham and, as every fan knows, the risk of ending up spursy is real. The term indicates the typical attitude to always come up short of results that characterise Tottenham. Sadly, supporters are used to its sound.
In order to qualify for the Champions League, the team must change its mindset, at least in the Premier League. Tottenham is in tenth position at the moment, very far away from their target (the first four positions in the table, the ones reserved to teams who will enter next year’s CL). The tournament, however, is still quite long and they can go back to their winning ways. The team was on point in the first weeks of the season, but then lost games and positions. Of course, one can point a finger at the several injuries they had to endure in the last weeks but football is a sport of contact and every team suffers some casualties during the long season.
Spurs can’t afford to surrender and must find a way to replicate the quality of football they displayed in the first halves against Southampton and Manchester City. Those performances were the epitome of dominance, showcasing just how talented this squad can be when firing on all cylinders. However, their inability to maintain that level of play throughout the full 90 minutes highlights a lack of continuity. This inconsistency could become a significant issue when the pressure intensifies and the margins grow tighter.
