Antwerp vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Tottenham won eight and drew two of their last eight games in all competitions.
• Spurs kept just two clean sheets in their last 11 games.
• Antwerp scored at least once in 11 of their last 12 fixtures.

Spurs on a roll

With eight wins and two draws from their last 10 games, Tottenham have been hitting all the right notes since mid-September, and Jose Mourinho’s in-form charges will expect to keep the good results coming against Antwerp this week.

The Belgians – on a fine run of five wins on the spin – have been playing with confidence themselves, though a clash with Tottenham is a step up from the other teams they have been beating of late.

While goals have been plentiful for Spurs in recent weeks, Mourinho will know that his side still have defensive wrinkles to iron out. Tottenham managed to keep just two clean sheets in their last 11 games, while one shutout from four Europa League ties also represents a poor return from a stretch of assignments against ordinary opponents.

With their forward line purring, Spurs have generally had the attacking tools to mask their deficiencies at the other end, and we expect their meeting with Antwerp to play out along similar lines this week.

Ivan Leko’s side – who hit the net at least once in 11 of their last 12 games – can notch again on Thursday, though Spurs’ superior quality should eventually tell. Those factors suggest that a Tottenham win and both teams to score bet holds value, while our correct score prediction backs Spurs to finish 3-1 victors.

Tottenham hit exactly three goals in two of their last three UEL games against LASK and Shkendija, and another trio should see them claim the points in Antwerp.
