Sporting CP vs. Tottenham Betting Tips: Two stats based bets as Spurs travel to Portugal

Sporting CP vs Tottenham Odds
Spurs made an impressive winning start to their group campaign as they beat Marseille 2-0, but the French side did cause Conte’s men some problems before eventually succumbing to defeat. Tottenham have significantly bolstered their squad in the summer, and there is a feeling that they may get their hands on some silverware this season.
Sporting CP vs Tottenham Tips
Sporting also won their opening group game in impressive fashion. They were 3-0 victors over the Eintracht Frankfurt. The Europa League holders were brushed aside, and the Portuguese side no have the early initiative over their group rivals Marseille.
Ruben Amorim’s side made a sloppy start to the season, but they are back on track after scoring n9 goals in their 3 competitive matches. Tottenham are yet to lose a competitive match this season, and they find themselves just 1 point of the top of the Premier League.
Spurs had 6 goal kicks in their opening group match against Marseille, and I’m expecting them to have a few in their trip to Portugal. Sporting will be urged on by the home support, and their recent matches show they have a great deal of attacking prowess.
Conte’s side have been getting a lot of goal kicks this season, especially away from home. They have had 11, 10 and 11 goal kicks in their 3 away matches, and I think this trend will continue here. Sporting’s opponents when they have played at home this season are averaging over 10 goal kicks per game, and I think they will force a lot here, despite the fact that Spurs represent a step up in class.
I’m also going to back Sporting shots. Shots and goal kicks angles are closely related because a side will inevitably miss the target with some of their efforts, and I think combining the both represents value here. Sporting have had 17, 22 and 20 shots in their last 3 home games, while Spurs have conceded 14, 17 and 16 shots in their away games.
Spurs conceded 9 shots when they played against Marseille, and the visitors played half of that match with 10 men. Marseille had 6 shots in the first half, and it is highly likely they would have had more attempts if they had kept all of their players on the pitch.
Sporting’s opening group game saw a whopping 51 throws, and there should be a few here. Spurs matches this season are averaging 37 throws per game, but I expect this one to be played at a high intensity with both teams looking to seize the initiative in the group.
For the longshot, I’m going to combine the angles from the main bet with match throws. We can get a price of 13.00 for over 42.5 throws in the match, over 6.5 goal kicks for Spurs, and over 9.5 shots for Sporting.
