Liverpool vs Tottenham prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-26 15:30.
[p]After defying all pre-season expectations and dominating for nearly the entire campaign, Liverpool finally have the chance to claim a record-equalling 20th top-flight crown. It’s been a long time coming for the Reds who have led the league since matchday ten, and although they could have been crowned champions in midweek had Arsenal lost, sealing the deal at Anfield seems much more fitting.[/p]
[p]That’s especially true considering they were robbed of that opportunity in their 2019/20 title winning campaign, when they lifted the Premier League trophy in an empty stadium due to Covid-19 restrictions. Arne Slot will become the seventh manager to win the Premier League in their first season if his side simply avoid defeat here, and with a 15-match unbeaten H2H record against Tottenham at Anfield (W11, D4), Liverpool are seemingly meeting the perfect opponent. [/p]
[p]Spurs are unfancied to crash the title celebrations, and that’s perhaps largely because they’ve lost five of their last seven league matches (W1, D1). That’s taken their tally of defeats this Premier League season to 18, putting them at risk of matching their previous season-high total of 19 suffered in the 1993/94 and 2003/04 campaigns here. Yet hope isn’t all lost in their campaign, as they have a Europa League semi-final to look forward to after this clash.[/p]
[p]The North Londoners will shockingly begin the round in 16th place and on course to post their worst final placing since being promoted back into the top flight in 1977/78, which currently stands at 15th. Hitting the road seems to indicate that their situation is unlikely to improve here, since Ange Postecoglou’s men have lost six of their last eight league road trips (W2). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: These sides have played three times already in this season and Dominik Szoboszlai has scored in both of Liverpool’s wins, contributing to his sparkling record of winning his last 26 club games when finding the net. Former Red Dominic Solanke has scored and assisted against his former employers this campaign and has netted the match opener in four of his last five goalscoring outings. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Liverpool have scored 2-3 goals in 14 of their last 17 home league matches.[/p]
