Spurs welcome RB Leipzig to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday night for the first leg of their Last 16 Champions League tie. Spurs are on a great run of form of late, they’re unbeaten in their last seven matches and won four-in-a-row at home. Leipzig however have only won one of their last five matches and away from home, they’ve not won since the middle of December. Are goals on the menu here?

Spurs vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips and Predictions: Spurs

Spurs come into this match on the back of a hard fought victory over Premier League strugglers Aston Villa. Son Heung-Min has shouldered much of the responsibility regarding goals since Harry Kane’s injury and yet again the Korean delivered with a late goal to grab the three points. He’s been in sensational form of late, scoring six goals in his last five matches and three in his last three home matches.

Spurs at 2.40 is hard to argue with here based on their home form versus Leipzig’s recent form, they’re scoring plenty of goals of late, scoring nine in their last four at home. They are conceding though and have let in five goals over their last five matches at home. Quite un-Mourinho-like and coming up against the free-scoring Leipzig it’s hard to see them keeping a Clean Sheet here.

Spurs vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips and Predictions: Leipzig

Leipzig find themselves second in the Bundesliga but on a bad run of form of late, having won just one of their last five matches. On their travels of late things are just as bad, also winning just one of their last five and have now gone four matches away from home without a win.

They have scored seven goals in their last five away matches, but two of them saw them fail to score. In their most recent away match against Bayern Munich they played out a 0-0 which both teams could have won were it not for some wayward shooting. They have a very high goals scored average though, 2.0 goals per match and 1.0 goals conceded on the road this season. Both Teams to Score at 1.55 isn’t exactly value, but it looks nailed on to occur. At that price though, is it worth the risk?
