Colchester United vs Tottenham Hostpur odds: Lucas Moura tipped to score first at 10/3

A poor start to the season can be rectified with the start of a good cup run starting away at Colchester in the Carabao Cup.

Spurs let a 1-0 lead slip at the King Power Stadium against a Leicester City side threatening to break into the top six.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino will want to get things back on the right path as soon as possible haivng picked up only eight points in six league matches and losing a 2-0 in the Champions League at Olympiacos.

Recommended bets:

  • Spurs to win 3-1 - 9/1
  • Lucas Moura to score first - 10/3

We spoke with Andy Ha ahead of the match:

Win, lose or draw?

Tottenham have had a poor week after blowing leads in Athens and Leicester, and the Carabao Cup offers the chance to get back to winning ways at 2/11 . 3-1 to Spurs at 9/1 .

First goalscorer?

With Harry Kane likely to be rested, teenage striker Troy Parrott looks set to start and will be a good bet to score first. If not, Lucas Moura will also be likely to get on the scoresheet.

The Brazilian is 10/3 to score first.

First card?

The returning Juan Foyth is not shy of a tackle.

Who is on penalties?

If Kane, as expected, misses the game, someone like Lucas Moura or Christian Eriksen could step up to take a penalty. Luicas to score anytime is 10/11 while Eriksen is 15/8 .

Will you keep a clean sheet?

No, Colchester should get one to give their fans something to cheer about at 17/20.
