Free Burnley vs Tottenham EPL Prediction:
When looking at each team’s scoring opportunites, the Tottenham Hotspur holds the edge in attacking area possessions, ranking 9th in the league. On the other side, Burnley is just 16th in the same category. This matchup looks to be an uphill battle for Burnley, as in addition to their inability to generate attacking possessions on offense, they are allowing their opponents to possess the ball near their goal well above the MLS average (16th). However, Tottenham’s defense is also struggling in this area, ranking 15th in attacking area possessions allowed.
Heading into this game, Tottenham is the heavy betting favorite at -280 on the moneyline. When looking at each team’s offensive profile, it makes sense that Tottenham is favored to win. SO far, they lead the league in on-target shooting percentage. On the other side, Burnely comes in rated 17th. In terms of overall shot attempts, Burnely sits at 19th.
There isn’t a lot of value taking Tottenham at -280, but I do see the team winning by more than 1 goal. I like Tottenham to cover the spread.
