A London derby, between Tottenham and Arsenal, where the loser leaves the tournament and the winner advances in the next stage. It’s a shame that those two had to meet so early, because one of them will have be knocked out.
As usual, these tournaments are mostly played with the reserves of the team, depending on how important each manager and team thinks the tournament is. Most of the times the top teams go out with players they have recently bought or players that usually sit on the bench. Remember that when you are placing your bets tonight on this game.
Going over the team’s current shape will not be a key here since, the teams we see in Premier League, will not go out tonight. However these two teams have met 4 times in Carling Cup in the semi finals. The semi-finals include 2 games, one on each stadium of the teams. Two draw games and a victory for each team is what the record indicates.
Both Tottenham and Arsenal have won their last six games in the third round of the Carling Cup. Arsenal have lost their last three matches away from home in the
competition, conceding a total of 10 goals. This actually overlaps with the interview that Rafael van der Vaart who’s gonna make his debut against Arsenal tonight.
Vaart has said that he thinks his team got what it takes to beat the Gunners and not only for Carling Cup, but for the EPL as well.
None of the last seven games between these sides has seen an away victory which is also a factor that indicates that Tottenham will perhaps be the favorites for this game.
The Betting Verdict?
Both Teams To Score @ 1.64 (Register at Betfair.com – 25£ Sign up Bonus): There are various bets for this game, but seems like this one is the safest. Both teams have scored in the 4 games for the Carling Cup. Usually most of the youngsters and reserves come out here and you have a lot of defense mistakes resulting in more goals than usual. Last year Arsenal’s youngsters came out against Liverpool’s and they totally dominated. This is one of the reason Wenger likes to buy infamous young players and give them chance to become someone in the team.
Arsenal to win @ 3.3 seem like good odds, but in such games you never know.
