Tottenham vs. Liverpool Picks, Parlay
Leg 1: Liverpool to Win
Leg 2: Both Teams to Score
It’s difficult to be confident of Tottenham’s chances in this match given their current form. Spurs are bottom of the ten-game Premier League form table without a victory during that time. They head to Anfield with the fourth-worst defence in terms of goals conceded (46) and expected goals against (43.81 xGA).
Not only that, but a late injury to Cristian Romero against Atletico Madrid in midweek means he’ll likely join Micky van de Ven on the sidelines, following the Dutchman’s suspension due to a red card against Crystal Palace.
Additionally, Romero’s injury was caused by a clash of heads with teammate Joao Palhinha, who might also be ruled out here, removing a defensive option to cover the two missing pivotal central defenders at Anfield.
Therefore, Liverpool have the advantage ahead of the weekend’s Clash. Even after the 1-0 loss to Galatasaray in the Champions League that, once again, highlighted the club's struggles.
While the result is not as drastic as Tottenham’s 5-2 loss, the Reds have looked poor, raising concerns about their top-four finish in the Premier League.
Meanwhile, the promised salvation in Igor Tudor has only continued the Spurs’ tragic season. But now, with the relegation line catching up, Tottenham have no options but to try and push forward as they look for season-saving points.
Arne Slot’s side have kept four clean sheets in 14 home matches this season. The defensive vulnerabilities are a public secret, and we can expect Tottenham to rely on the familiar recipe to at least find a goal.
Liverpool have conceded at least one goal in four consecutive matches at Anfield. Even Burnley, with the fourth-lowest goal contribution, managed to get on the scoreboard.

Tottenham vs. Liverpool Betting Analysis
This matchup on Sunday presents a classic case of a struggling team at the worst possible venue. Tottenham sits just one point above the relegation zone and has lost six consecutive games across all competitions.
The club's defense is a major cause for concern, with the fourth-most goals conceded in the league. This problem is compounded by injuries and suspensions, with key central defenders Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Joao Palhinha all likely to miss the trip to Anfield.
Liverpool, while fighting for a top-four spot, has had an unusually difficult season. The club has already lost nine Premier League games, more than the previous two seasons combined.
However, their head-to-head record against Tottenham is overwhelmingly positive. The Reds have lost just one of their last 31 meetings with Spurs, a stretch that dates back to 2011.
History suggests goals will feature prominently in this game. The last 24 meetings between these two clubs have not produced a goalless draw. Recent encounters have been particularly high-scoring, with an average of 4.6 goals per game over the last five matchups.
With Tottenham’s defense in disarray, Liverpool, who scored four or more goals in each of the last four head-to-heads at Anfield, has an excellent chance to add to their misery.
