Vitesse vs Spurs Tips: Best Bets from Tipster J

Live on BT Sport, Vitesse welcome 2019 Champions League finalists Tottenham to the Gelredome in a highly anticipated group G affair.  

Just the one point separates these two sides after two matches heading into this fixture, so both managers will understand the importance of a win. Vitesse will be looking to make it four wins from their last six, but will know it won’t come easy against a Spurs side starting to hit some form. 

Nuno Espírito Santo will be happy with the turnaround his Spurs side have made in recent weeks. Three wins on the bounce, including a thrashing of Mura on match-day two in this competition sees them come into this game odds-on favourites to pick up all three points.  

Nuno is expected to shake up his starting XI here after not making a single substitution in Sundays 3-2 win over Newcastle. However, Spurs will still be without full back pairing Ryan Sessegnon and Matt Doherty as they continue to recover from injuries. 

Vitesse v Spurs Tips

• Lo Celso to have a shot on target @4/5 – Betfair 
• Spurs win and BTTS @11/4 - Bet365  
• Tottenham win, BTTS and Harry Winks to be booked @14/1 - Bet365 

Starved for game time in the Premier League, Giovani Lo Celso definitely has an eye for goal when he gets his chance in Europe. Betfair are offering 4/5 for him to have a single shot on goal and I think this is a great price. He’s netted in both of his last two Europa Conference appearances and should get a good run out here.  

In the 110 minutes he has played domestically, he’s managed five shots, so clearly loves a pop. On top of that he Often takes free kicks so 4/5 for one of spurs forward men to hit the target is going to be my first play for this fixture. 

I think a reshuffled Spurs team should have enough to get past this Vitesse side, but I certainly wouldn’t rule out goals here. Tottenham have failed to keep a clean sheet in all of their previous five away games in all competitions, and have won their last three matches with both teams on the scoring. This makes the 11/4 much more appealing than the odds-on quotes for the outright win. Vitesse have scored in all of their last five home games and they should give Tottenham test Thursday evening. 

For my longshot, I’m adding in a Harry Winks card to the Tottenham win BTTS bet to make a 14/1 poke. Not too many players stand out for a booking given the short prices available, so I’ve gone with an old favourite who should return to the starting XI for this Europa Conference game. 

Limited game time for Winks could see him struggle to adapt to the intensity of this game, and with a decent card record to his name when it comes to card collecting, I am happy to punt on him again here. Bookies are expecting cards here with over 4.5 cards priced at 1.6, we are expecting a feisty affair Thursday evening.
