Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

Can Spurs Hold Their Nerve at Anfield or Will Liverpool Overturn the Deficit?

• Anfield Fortress
  • Liverpool are unbeaten in their last 15 home matches in all competitions, winning 13 of them, and have scored at least twice in every one of those games.
• Spurs’ Road Woes
  • Tottenham have struggled away from home, losing seven of their last 12 Premier League away matches, which raises doubts over their ability to withstand Liverpool’s attacking pressure.
• Both Teams Likely to Score
  • Liverpool have conceded in four of their last five home matches, while Spurs have found the net in six consecutive matches, highlighting the strong possibility of goals at both ends.

Best Bet for Liverpool vs Tottenham Hotspur

Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur are set to lock horns at Anfield in what promises to be a fiercely contested second leg of the League Cup semi-final. With the visitors holding a narrow 1-0 lead from the first leg, courtesy of a late strike from Lucas Bergvall, Ange Postecoglou’s men will arrive on Merseyside knowing they are just 90 minutes away from a shot at silverware. However, history does not favour Spurs at Anfield, with their last win at this famous ground dating back to 2011.

Liverpool, on the other hand, will be confident of overturning the deficit, especially after their ruthless 6-3 dismantling of Spurs in London just a few weeks ago. Arne Slot’s side are in excellent form, leading the Premier League title race while progressing comfortably in both domestic and European competitions. A raucous Anfield crowd will expect nothing less than a dominant performance to secure yet another cup final appearance.

Spurs have shown glimpses of resurgence with recent victories over Brentford and Elfsborg, but their inconsistent away form remains a concern. Having suffered seven defeats in 12 Premier League matches on the road, they will need to show real resilience to survive the inevitable onslaught from a Liverpool side unbeaten in their last 15 home matches.

Best Bet for This Clash: Liverpool to Win and Both Teams to Score

Here at BettingTips4You, we don’t believe in flooding you with multiple predictions. Instead, we focus on quality over quantity, providing just one standout selection per match – and for this encounter, the best bet is Liverpool to win and both teams to score.

Why This is the Best Bet?

While Liverpool are the clear favourites, their defensive record at Anfield suggests Tottenham could find the net. The Reds have kept just one clean sheet in their last five home matches and have been vulnerable to conceding, despite their impressive winning record.

Spurs, despite their struggles in the league, have been relatively consistent in attack. They have found the back of the net in six consecutive matches across all competitions, proving that even against tougher opponents, they can pose a threat. The likes of Son Heung-min have been instrumental in keeping their attacking output alive, and even with injuries plaguing their squad, they are capable of troubling a Liverpool defence that has shown lapses at times.

Arne Slot’s side, however, have been relentless at Anfield. They have won 13 of their last 15 games at home and, crucially, have netted at least twice in every one of those fixtures. Given Tottenham’s defensive issues and significant injury absences—particularly in their backline—Liverpool should have enough firepower to overturn the first-leg deficit.

Even though Spurs have a track record of defensive collapses, they have also shown they can make an impact offensively. Their ability to score in high-profile encounters, combined with Liverpool’s slight vulnerabilities at the back, makes this bet the best way to extract value from the match.

BettingTips4You.com expert Herrin Kendrick sums it up perfectly:

“Liverpool are a machine at Anfield, but they do tend to concede. With Spurs desperate for a goal to keep their final hopes alive, expect an open game. A home win with both teams scoring offers the best mix of logic and value.“
