Tottenham vs Coventry — Tips & Analysis

Coventry +1.25: Tottenham are in a bad way, and that is the strongest reason to take Coventry here. Spurs sit bottom of the Premier League on three points from six games and have not won in their last five. They score just over a goal a game, and the attack is in pieces. Bentancur is suspended, and Mudryk, Odobert and Simons are all injured. Reports add Bergvall, Savio and Richarlison to the missing list, and Kulusevski and Porro are doubts. Tottenham have won by 2 or more goals in only 1 of their last 13 games. Coventry travel far better than 16th place suggests. They are 4W-2D-2L on the road, where they score more than a goal a game and let in less than one. They have won 8 of their last 17 and put four past Newcastle a week ago. The head to head is no help. These two have met just twice, in 2024 and back in 2013. Spurs push because the crowd demands it, Coventry answer on the break, and a 1-1 is how this reads. A tie keeps the away side on the right side of this one. The warning is Coventry's defending, which looks better than it has been. They have been giving up plenty of chances lately, and Brighton beat them 0-5 at their own ground in that run. They can have a bad night. Even so, this Spurs team cannot blow anyone away, so we are with Coventry.
