Premier League Quick Preview: Tottenham Vs Coventry
Basement side Tottenham host Coventry in their latest search for their first league win of the season, while the visitors will look to build on their 4-1 home win over Newcastle last time out.
Check out our BetBuilderAI predictions for Tottenham vs Coventry tonight.
Tottenham are bottom with just three points from six games, winless all season with three draws and three defeats - their 0-3 opening-day loss at Brentford set the tone, and they’ve scored just three goals since.
Coventry are 16th and three points better off, with four straight defeats to begin with before finally finding a first win, 1-0 away at Forest, followed by a resounding 4-1 win at home to Newcastle.
Despite their winless start, Roberto De Zerbi's side are favourites on UK betting sites to beat the Sky Blues.
Two Sides Starved Of Goals Meet
Spurs have failed to score in four of their six league games, and they have yet to score before the 85th minute. Coventry’s attacking numbers were grim - just one goal scored across five games, before hitting Newcastle for four last Monday.
Tottenham’s defence has also been generous, conceding 11+ shots against them in every one of their six league games. Coventry, by contrast, have shown defensive improvement recently - a clean sheet in the win over Forest before their demolition of the Magpies.
