Pre-Season Friendly: Tottenham Hotspur v Villareal Odds and Betting Preview
By Gus Morse on 2010-07-29 09:30:33
LONDON- Tottenham Hotspur`s pre-season campaign continues tonight against top-flight Spanish team Villareal. Spurs have had a strong pre-season in America and Harry Redknapp declared himself pleased with the way the players performed during their most recent friendly with Sporting Lisbon, which ended in a two all draw. It is Tottenham`s penultimate friendly before the new season kicks off at White Hart Lane on the 14th of August against Manchester City.
Harry Redknapp`s team are favourites to win the encounter against Villareal at 8/11 (bet £8 to make £11 profit) with Victor Chandler, with a draw priced at 12/5 with Betfair and Villareal as outsiders to win it at 3/1 at William Hill. An attractive price for the Spaniards who came seventh last year in La Liga, and are 40/1 to win La Liga in the 2010/2011 season with Betfred.
A goalless draw is priced at 12/1 with Bet365, whilst a correct score for Tottenham to win 1-0 is 7/1 with the same bookmaker and for a long shot Tottenham to win 4-2 is priced at 50/1 with Coral. Both sides are expected to field relatively strong sides and with the season so close the match is likely to be a more highly-contested affair than some previous friendlies.
For half-time/full-time results Tottenham/draw fetches a price of 14/1 with Victor Chandler, draw/Villarreal is 33/1 with Coral, and draw/Tottenham is 10/3 with Coral as well. Against Sporting, Spurs took the lead but were instantly pegged back, and eventually found themselves 2-1 down and only avoided defeat courtesy of an Obika goal on seventy minutes. A similar sequence of events (draw/draw) against Villarreal is priced at 5/1 with Bet365.
Following their strong pre-season performance Tottenham are 28/1 to win the Barclays Premier League 2010/2011, whilst Chelsea are favourites to win at 6/4 with StanJames. For Tottenham to qualify for the Champions League they are priced at 3/1 with Sky Bet.
