Struggling Spurs play host to Blackburn Rovers at White Hart Lane this afternoon (4pm KO, Live on Sky Sports 1) and the visitors look worth a punt at 8/1 to cause an upset.
Harry Redknapp’s side have lost the plot in recent weeks and lost their last three games, and they simply have to be taken on at odds of just 2/5.
those odds look way too short given their current form, and even more so when you throw in the fact that with Benoit Assou-Ekotto set to join Michael Dawson in missing the rest of the season, and Emmanuel Adebayor and Younes Kaboul also struggling to make the line-up they will not be fielding their strongest side for this.
OK, Rovers have won once, drawn once and lost six times on the road since the turn of the year.
But Steve Keane’s men have proved on more than one occasion that they are no pushover and capable of raising their game.
They beat Manchester United 3-2 at Old Trafford on New Year’s Eve, and have managed to salvage points in games against Everton and Liverpool.
They also come into the game with their tails up following a vital win over Norwich, and 8/1 with BetVictor and Coral look overpriced to bag all three points in their fight for survival.
