Leeds United vs Tottenham prediction: Gareth Bale's fine form to continue at Elland Road

Tottenham Hotspur are the tailenders in the top four race at the moment and have a difficult task to keep themselves in that race too.

They travel to Elland Road where they face a Marcelo Bielsa side playing for nothing but pride now which is a dangerous combination with their "Murderball" style of play.

Spurs are, however, favourites at 21/20 with Betfred for the lunchtime kick-off while Leeds are 5/2 and a draw is 11/4.

Leeds have saved some of their best performances against the Premier League's bigger clubs and have taken points from Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool and Man United.

Spurs are currently 6/1 to finish in the top four which puts them behind Chelsea, Leicester City, Liverpool and West Ham United but it does not mean they are out of the running.

Tips

  • Gareth Bale to score anytime - 11/10
  • Draw and both teams to score - 7/2

Gareth Bale has found his goalscoring touch again after scoring a hat-trick against an already relegated Sheffield United side.

The winger has benefited Ryan Mason's more attacking style of play and seems to be a key figure in the interim head coach's plans.

He offers extra attacking threat which could cause issues for Bielsa's side and is 11/10 to score anytime.

As mentioned, Leeds have a good track record with some of the Premier League's elite and this match will be no different to that.

Spurs have a difficult task to get all three points and anything less will confirm any hopes of Champions League football for next season are over which could mean a disastrous summer in the transfer window.

They cannot afford to allow that to happen but with what we have seen over the course of the season, I cannot see them handling the pressure so I'm backing a draw and both teams to score at 7/2.
