Burnley vs Tottenham tips: Spurs to unleash Carabao Cup frustrations on winless Clarets
Richarlison of Tottenham 8 Mar 2023
Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage remains confident Tottenham can return to winning ways following a surprise exit in the Carabao Cup.
Burnley on the back of a win against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup. Spurs going out of the competition - a competition maybe some felt they could’ve won.
Spurs going to Turf Moor. A difficult place to go. Spurs have only failed to score once in their last 15 Premier League away games, but they had Harry Kane.
Richarlison got off the mark with a head against Fulham. Will he get on the scoresheet at Turf Moor? I think he will. I think there'll be goals. I'm going for Spurs to win 2-0.
Robbie’s Pick: Burnley 0-2 Tottenham
Team news
Vincent Kompany’s Burnley will be without Anass Zaroury, Jordan Beyer and Victor da Silva.
There are also doubts over Michael Obafemi, Darko Churlinov and Hjalmar Ekdal.
Tottenham, on the other hand, will have to cope without Rodrigo Bentancur, Ryan Sessegnon and Bryan Gil.
Key stats
- Burnley won their last league home game against Tottenham back in February 2022
- Tottenham have won 10 of last 16 Premier League games with Burnley
- Burnley could lose their opening three matches of a top-flight campaign for the fourth time
- Tottenham have kept a clean sheet in their last two league games
- Burnley will become the fourth side to start a Premier League season with three consecutive home games
Suggested bets
Bar their slip up in the Carabao Cup against Fulham, Spurs have remained strong defensively having conceded just two goals from their opening three outings in the Premier League.
Ange Postecoglou’s side have also remained strong in attack, scoring six goals so far this season.
Spurs are looking to continue their unbeaten start to the campaign, and while trips to Turf Moor are never easy, the London side remain strong favourites.
Considering their current trajectory, backing a Tottenham win to nil is the way to go.
