Tottenham Hotspur are in a spot of bother. Projected to be in the mix for a Champions League spot, the Spurs have just one win in their last four Premier League matches
For the first two months of the season, it seemed like Spurs had developed a clear, effective identity. A dynamic counterattacking side, Tottenham was able to sit deep, defend effectively and spring to life when their opponents turned the ball over. From there, Spurs would get the ball quickly to Harry Kane, Richarlison, or Heung-min Son and hope their star attackers could make something happen.
It wasn’t the most eye-pleasing style of play, but it seemed to be paying dividends, as Spurs lost just twice in their first 14 matches across all competitions. But since then, things have gotten pretty stale for the Spurs. The attack has looked disjointed and been overly reliant on set pieces, which has put even more pressure on a defense that had very little margin for error, to begin with.
Unfortunately for Spurs, the defense has also struggled of late, allowing at least two goals in eight of its last 10 games and giving up four in their two matches since the World Cup break. Crystal Palace’s attack is nothing to write home about, but the Eagles should provide Spurs with a few problems on Wednesday. For one thing, Tottenham is much more comfortable against teams that want to be on the ball. That allows the Spurs to sit back and counter rather than break down a low block to create scoring chances. Get the lowdown on the Best USA Sports Betting Sites and Apps
