Tottenham vs Barcelona PREVIEW & PREDICTION 03/10/2018

In the previous one, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, since the two teams can alternate the domain of the ball and the situations of goal. Therefore, it should not surprise us that they can score at least one goal and recover from a hypothetical initial disadvantage. Given this reality, we believe that the bet “both teams score” is interesting to bet, since they are intense and vertical sets when they intend to attack. In addition they are not characterized by defending well, standing out by leaving spaces when marking.

Tottenham:

Now his goal is to recover ground in the competition, because if he loses the game he could be compromised in his fight for the classification.
