This week’s selection combines player performance and disciplinary markets, focusing on key individuals whose styles and match contexts make them likely to feature prominently in decisive moments.
Here’s our Bet Builder pick for Tottenham vs Copenhagen, which has been placed with William Hill:
Why this pick
Mohammed Kudus has emerged as Tottenham’s most incisive forward threat, operating between the lines and attacking the half-spaces where Copenhagen have repeatedly left gaps in Europe. Spurs are unbeaten in three Champions League fixtures and will look to reassert themselves at home after domestic frustrations, funnelling possession into Kudus’ feet in dangerous areas. The Ghanaian’s quick shifts onto either foot, plus his timing when arriving at the top of the box, make him difficult to track for centre-halves who prefer defending deeper phases. Copenhagen conceded heavily against elite ball-carriers in their last two continental matches, and their away record in the competition is poor. With Tottenham expected to dominate territory and create shooting lanes, Kudus is well placed to convert sustained pressure into a goal.
Why this pick
Cristian Romero anchors Spurs’ backline with relentless aggression, a trait that frequently edges into the referee’s notebook in high-tempo contests. Copenhagen are likely to counter through direct runners, forcing Romero into recovery tackles and tactical infringements, particularly with Tottenham holding an advanced line at home. His duel-heavy role as organiser increases exposure to cynical blocks and late interventions when transitions break. European nights also heighten intensity, and with Tottenham eager to reset momentum after two defeats in other competitions, challenges may arrive a fraction too forcefully. Romero’s historical booking profile in matches featuring pacey forwards, combined with a referee group that typically punishes reckless contact, points towards a realistic chance of a caution once Copenhagen break Tottenham’s initial press.
Why this pick
Pantelis Hatzidiakos will be stretched by Tottenham’s rotating front four, who create overloads and force centre-backs into wide channels. When Copenhagen’s full-backs step high, the Greek defender is often dragged into isolation against agile dribblers, a scenario that invites holding, blocking and last-ditch tackles. Spurs’ likely starters—Richarlison through the middle with Kudus and Odobert buzzing around—draw repeated fouls with quick interchanges, and Hatzidiakos’ responsibility as a primary stopper magnifies his booking risk. Copenhagen’s away record in the Champions League shows defensive strain under pressure, and sustained Spurs possession should increase defensive volume in and around the area. With transitions frequently ending in emergency interventions, the probability of Hatzidiakos picking up a caution is higher than market sentiment typically reflects.
Tottenham’s territorial dominance should tee up Mohammed Kudus for chances, while Cristian Romero’s front-foot defending and Pantelis Hatzidiakos’ containment duties raise card risk. The combination balances attacking output with disciplinary edges, aligning with each side’s European trends and tactical profiles for a well-priced three-leg Bet Builder at 28/1.
Tottenham vs Copenhagen Bet Builder Tip
Mohammed Kudus to Score Anytime
Mohammed Kudus has quickly become one of Tottenham’s most inventive attacking outlets, providing directness and flair in the final third. Despite Spurs’ recent inconsistency, Kudus remains a constant threat due to his sharp movement between the lines and instinctive shooting ability. The Ghanaian international’s ability to exploit defensive gaps will be vital against a Copenhagen side that have struggled to contain mobile attackers in European competition.
Copenhagen’s backline, marshalled by Pantelis Hatzidiakos, has conceded multiple goals in each of their last two Champions League outings. Their defensive shape often leaves space on the edge of the box—a zone where Kudus thrives. His proficiency in one-on-one duels, combined with a tendency to drift into pockets behind midfielders, makes him a prime candidate to find the net.
Furthermore, Kudus’ recent involvement in Tottenham’s attacking phases has increased significantly under Thomas Frank, with his shot volume and Expected Goals (xG) metrics trending upwards. In front of a home crowd demanding a response after domestic setbacks, Kudus could well deliver the spark Spurs require to keep their European run on course.

Cristian Romero to Be Shown a Card
Cristian Romero’s combative nature is both his greatest asset and his greatest risk. The Argentine centre-half embodies aggression and commitment in Tottenham’s defensive line, yet his uncompromising style often brings him into disciplinary danger. Facing a Copenhagen side likely to counter swiftly through players like Elyounoussi and Moukoko, Romero’s tackling intensity could easily draw the referee’s attention.
Romero averages a high number of tackles and interceptions per match, and his track record in European fixtures shows a pattern of bookings, particularly when opposition forwards employ pace and direct running. In this contest, with Tottenham expected to hold a high line, Romero may find himself isolated against runners in transition—a situation that typically results in tactical fouls.
Given Jarred Gillett’s officiating history, which includes a willingness to sanction overly robust challenges, Romero looks a strong candidate for a booking. His responsibility as defensive organiser also means he will likely engage in several duels, increasing the probability of a caution.
Pantelis Hatzidiakos to Be Shown a Card
At the opposite end, Copenhagen defender Pantelis Hatzidiakos faces the unenviable task of containing Tottenham’s front line. The Greek centre-back is an experienced campaigner, known for his positional sense but also for his physicality—traits that may be severely tested against the pace and trickery of Richarlison, Simons, and Kudus.
Tottenham’s attacking movements under Frank rely heavily on overloads and quick interchanges in and around the box, forcing defenders into awkward situations. Hatzidiakos’ tendency to engage closely with opponents could result in mistimed challenges, particularly if he is forced to cover wide areas when full-backs advance.
Moreover, Copenhagen’s defensive record on the road in Europe suggests vulnerability under pressure. With Spurs pushing to dominate possession, Hatzidiakos is likely to face sustained periods of defensive stress. His disciplinary record—several yellow cards in recent league and continental outings—reinforces the likelihood of another caution here.m Sardinia support the likelihood of an open contest, full of territorial exchanges leading to multiple corners at both ends.
