When it comes to a David and Goliath story, newly promoted Luton Town with just a single win this season taking on Tottenham, a team that haven’t lost a game this season, may be just that. With all the latest Tottenham betting odds and Luton Town odds expecting a one-sided game, as Tottenham sit heavy favourites at 2/5 and Luton languishing out at 6/1 to grab the win, according to BetVictor at the time of writing, it’s hard to see how a fairytale ending for the Hatters could be on the cards.
Despite a strong playoff where Luton beat Coventry on penalties to clinch their way into the Premier League under Rob Edwards, their recent performances are a far cry away from what it would take to stay up at the end of the season. In fact, while most Tottenham fans would have worried about these sorts of fixtures as Harry Kane departed for Munich this summer, it seems that his departure has lit a fire where they currently find themselves as the team with the most shots on target thanks to stellar performances by James Madison and Son Heung-Min recently. One look at BetVictor’s Anytime Goalscorer odds, sees 6 different Spurs players above Carlton Morris, at the time of writing, something that looks unlikely to change with even the potentially unavailable Brennan Johnson coming in higher for now.
So while Luton Town fans will be hoping for an upset here, Tottenham fans will likely be checking the Premier League table to see how long they could hold top spot with a potential victory away to Luton on Saturday, something that manager Ange Postecoglou would surely like to come away gloating about.
Perhaps the only thing that is for certain, is that Liverpool fans who felt cheated by the VAR meltdown that happened when they met Spurs last weekend will almost certainly be rooting for them to receive a dose of karma, or at the very least watch them squander a potential chance to go top of the table and allow Liverpool to perhaps do it themselves if they win at Brighton this weekend.
