Tottenham vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Saturday night the Champions League final between Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool FC is on the program. The Madrid Metropolitano forms the backdrop for this British gathering. Does Liverpool know how to fulfill its favorite role?
Tottenham Hotspur:
Tottenham Hotspur has already escaped a number of times on the way to this final. That started in the group stage, when the Londoners in the final match did not win at FC Barcelona, so that they no longer had qualification in their own hands. Due to the fact that Internazionale also did not win – from PSV (1-1) – the Spurs still qualified for the eighth finals. The team had few problems with Borussia Dortmund in that. In the quarterfinals, the Spurs eliminated Manchester City after a tumultuous return. (1-0, 4-3). Tottenham again won the diptych in the semi-final by the away goals rule.
After the 0-1 defeat in the first match against Ajax, things didn’t look good for the Mauricio Pochettino team. Things became completely gloomy when the team in Amsterdam trailed 2-0. However, the chances turned due to a very strong comeback. Lucas Moura was the hero of the evening (2-3) with a hat trick. So now the final battle in Madrid is waiting. “To be here with this group of friends is very special,” Jan Vertonghen said to Tottenham‘s own media. “We must enjoy the moment and do everything we can to bring that famous trophy home.”
Vertonghen itself will most likely be in the base. Pochettino has a lot to choose from at many positions, because there are not many injury cases. Harry Kane has been working towards this competition for weeks. The striker seems to be kicking off.
Liverpool FC:
Liverpool also played a much-discussed semi-final on their way to Madrid. After a flattering 3-0 defeat from the first match against FC Barcelona, the chances of placement for the final were small. However, Liverpool made everything up on Anfield Road. With a team that wasn’t even at full power, the Liverpudlians won 4-0. The victory caused frenzied scenes in the stands. “The combination of football and the atmosphere were extraordinary this year,” Jürgen Klopp stated on the website of the British club.
Liverpool was also in the final last year, against Real Madrid, which unfortunately was lost (3-1). Keeper Loris Karius – rented out to Besiktas this season – played a negative leading role at the time. Like all other rented and loaned players, Karius could get tickets for Saturday’s final, but the German goalkeeper will not be present. He said he didn’t want to be a negative distraction. He will of course hope that Liverpool wins on Saturday. Then his bad game from a year ago may be forgotten earlier.
The team of Klopp starts the final in the knowledge that the form was excellent. In their own country, although the title was left to Manchester City, the score of 97 was impressive. Of the 38 league matches, the team only lost one. Against Tottenham, a draw in London was 1-1, and Liverpool beat the Spurs 2-0 before the winter break.
