Tottenham Hotspur vs LASK Linz Predictions

• Both teams have scored in eight of Tottenham’s nine competitive games this season.
• Spurs have averaged three goals per game in their nine competitive games this term.
• LASK have scored in eight of their last nine Europa League fixtures.

Plenty of goalmouth action expected at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

A flurry of goals in the opening 20 minutes on Sunday showed just why this Tottenham Hotspur attack is one of the most feared in the Premier League, but their second half capitulation against West Ham also highlighted their weaknesses at the back.

That may just be one match, but it does tell the story of how Tottenham’s season is playing out at the moment. Jose Mourinho’s side haven’t kept a single clean sheet in nine competitive games this term, but they have failed to score just once and have averaged three goals per game.

For LASK Linz, the main concern will be keeping the Spurs attackers at bay. Harry Kane is expected to be rested, but Heung-min Son and Gareth Bale could both start and the former has netted an incredible eight goals in his last five appearances. He looks the standout choice for our anytime goalscorer predictions.

LASK illustrated their inferiority last season when they lost 7-1 on aggregate to Manchester United in the Europa League, and we’re expecting another defeat for them here. However, they have scored in eight of their last nine matches in the competition and, considering the hosts’ defensive issues, backing both teams to score could be a good option.

Tottenham have averaged three goals per game this term and scored exactly three at the weekend, so a 3-1 correct score prediction also appeals.
