Tottenham Hotspur welcome the visitors Burnley in the English Premiere League – Round 17. The match will be held on Saturday, December 15th, at the Wembley Stadium (London).
Tottenham Hotspur have attained their main goal this week. Thanks to their draw against Barcelona, and maybe due to the PSV’s not-lazy attitude in their clash with Inter, the hosts managed to advance to the Champions League spring knockouts. The Spurs find themselves 3rd in the EPL standings, winning 4 times in 6 fixtures, but, surprisingly, they are just among top-twenty by the number of goals scored at home. At this, they do not concede much. Is this the horrible Wembley pitch to blame?

The visiting Burnley conceded just in 3 of their 8 outings by the outcome of the first half, while in only 6 of 17 matches they conceded later. So, the 2.47 odds are worth taking risks. The opponent should also be considered though. The other thing is Burnley’s struggling defense this season. The team did not finish their first term yet, but they’ve missed same number of goals as they did throughout the whole 2017/18 campaign. The ‘Clarets’ were more or less fine in London before, featuring no losses with the lopsided score. In the clash with Liverpool, they were not conceding along the first half. They normally сrumble in the second half. However, no one would deny the guests’ killer instinct. They have no other choice, actually, running just 2 points outside the Championship now.
Let us risk a little and predict that Burnley will try to standout on such a turf at least in the first half. What they show next – we will see. The ‘Spurs’ are not very likely to smashout after the Champions League. By the way, just after the European competition, Tottenham either normally lost consistently in the EPL or won by a minimum goal margin.
Prediction for the match: Burnley to win or draw in the first half.
