Tottenham vs Charlton — Tips & Analysis

Over 3: Goals have followed both of these teams around, and that is why we want the busier game here. Eight of Tottenham's last 13 games have had 3 or more goals, and their games average 3 goals in total. Their defence is a big part of that. Spurs let in almost 2 goals a game, and they were beaten 0-3 at Brentford last time out. Maddison, Xavi Simons, Kulusevski and Odobert are all out, so the side that starts will be patched together. Charlton will not sit back and admire them. They have won four of their last five, including 2-1 at West Ham, and they have scored in each of their last ten games. Eight of their last 14 games have had 3 or more goals too. Here is the honest part. The most likely single score is a 2-1 Tottenham win, and we need this game to be busier than that. Two teams who both keep letting goals in should give us the chances to get there. The worry is real, though. Charlton have been winning games without creating much, so a quieter night from them is possible. A rotated Spurs side could also take a lead and slow the whole thing down. We are still on the side of goals.
