Game Prediction
On May 5, 2024, as part of the 36th round of the English Premier League, a match between Liverpool and Tottenham will take place. The hosts of the arena retain hopes of a miracle and winning the title – still, the chances are already purely theoretical. The guests from London continue the battle for 4th place and the Champions League.
Key statistics and trends:
- Liverpool, before the failure with Atalanta, lost points at the home arena only in the struggle with Manchester City in all tournaments in 2024 – they played a 1-1 draw.
- The hosts have scored at least 4 goals in 6 matches since January.
- Tottenham has got 1 win in 7 previous away matches, including Thursday’s defeat to Chelsea.
Liverpool – the shape of the team and its analysis: all efforts were cancelled out in just over a month
“The Merseysiders” will finish in the top 3 of the Premier League in any case, and Klopp finally won the League Cup trophy. And he quite sincerely said that he would be happy in the summer to simply return to the Champions League at the end of 2023/2024. At the same time, “the Reds” suddenly stumbled twice in one week in their fortress, Anfield, receiving 3 unanswered goals from Atalanta and losing dryly to Crystal Palace. Of course, there had been misfires before this, especially the disappointing elimination from the cup after a 3-4 score in extra time at Old Trafford. And the 2-0 result in the derby with Everton was the final signal: the finish was a failure. This was confirmed by the 2-2 draw with unstable West Ham.
Tottenham – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club is trying to be as high as possible
“The Spurs” started the season with a whirlwind, and this was surprising considering both the disastrous outcome of the previous Premier League and the fact that a new manager, Postecoglou, made his debut in the top championships with such statistics. Gradually, the team, no longer showing such results, missed out on Liverpool, City and Arsenal. Still, it is trying to finish the cycle in 4th place, fulfilling the plan for the season and ahead of Aston Villa. At the same time, the club plays extremely spectacularly in the spring (only the struggle with West Ham brought a 1-1 draw; other matches are characterized by 3 or more goals), but unpredictable. A 3-1 result in the confrontation with Nottingham Forest alternates with a 0-4 failure in the game with Newcastle. The important match with Arsenal was also lost, as was the rescheduled battle with Chelsea.
Liverpool: team news
Thiago Alcantara remains permanently injured, as does Matip. Bradley, who became important this season, also broke down.
Tottenham: team news
Forster will not participate, but he is the backup goalkeeper. It is reasonable to mention that without Richarlison, Sessegnon and Salomon, the attack will be impoverished.
Liverpool vs Tottenham: possible starting line-ups
Liverpool (possible line-up): Alisson – Robertson, van Dijk, Konate, Alexander-Arnold – Jones, Mac Allister, Szoboszlai – Diaz, Nunez, Salah.
Tottenham (possible line-up): Vicario – Udogie, van de Ven, Romero, Porro – Bentancur, Bissouma, Maddison, Werner, Johnson - Son Heung-min.
Previous head-to-head matches
“The Spurs” haven’t won since 2017. Still, they finally took a 2-1 victory in London in September.
Free prediction for the match Liverpool vs Tottenham on May 5:
Both clubs fail at the finish, and one shouldn’t expect much from this couple. In particular, “the Merseysiders” look overrated – we bet that the guests will win with “a +1.5 goal handicap” (odd: 1.727).
