Tottenham take on the visitors Fulham in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, October 23rd at Tottenham Hotspurs Stadium (London).
Tottenham were one of the main disappointments of the previous season. Antonio Conte, who revived his team in the spring of 2022, unexpectedly secured a 4th place, a spot in the Champions League, but then everything fell apart in the following season. Hotspur finished outside the European competition places, even behind the crisis-stricken London giants, Chelsea. However, this failure was the last straw for Harry Kane, who insisted on his transfer to Bayern Munich. With Kane's departure, the project's prospects looked bleak, but the £100 million received for him allowed for an active recruitment campaign. Postecoglou, who transitioned from Celtic to the coaching role, proved to be a competent manager, providing a successful start to the season. A slight blemish is the early exit from the League Cup, following a loss to Fulham. However, with 6 wins and a couple of draws, they are leading in the Premier League. Although the North London Derby with Arsenal ended in a 2-2 draw.

Fulham are quite stable in accumulating points. The Cottagers were gradually improving. After several years of stagnation, they began to make their presence felt in the Premier League on a reasonably regular basis, although relegations still followed with equal regularity, giving them the reputation of an elevator club. The current manager, Marco Silva, shattered that cycle. Firstly, he led his new team to a Championship victory in 2022, and then, in the last season, the newcomers collected over fifty points in the Premier League. There was no longer any talk of relegation risk, on the contrary, Cottage dwellers were even considered contenders for European competitions for a while, finishing the season in the top 10. Now, although their goal-scoring has decreased significantly (no one has replaced Mitrovic properly, and they are scoring exactly one goal per game, 8 in 8 matches), the London team continues their journey in the League Cup (they eliminated the less ambitious Norwich following Tottenham), and in the Premier League, they have already secured 3 wins and 11 points - solid mid-table performance.
Before their cup setback at the end of August, Hotspur had won three games in a row against their neighbors. It's clear that only a victory for Son and company is expected here. Considering the motivation of the hosts, we expect their victory with a -1.0 goals handicap.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with -1.0 handicap.
