As part of the FA Cup 1/32 round, Tamworth will face Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, January 12. The match is scheduled to start at 13:30 Central European Time. My prediction focuses on the winner of the game.
Match Preview
Tamworth earned promotion to the fifth tier of English football, the National League, last season. They have started fairly well and are trying to establish themselves at this new level.
In 24 matches, they have collected 30 points, but they concede a lot of goals. In the FA Cup, Tamworth has already made it through three rounds and caused a major upset by defeating Huddersfield.
Tottenham lacks consistency, but under Postecoglou, they are showcasing an exciting attacking style of football that appeals to neutral fans. However, Spurs often create problems for themselves, which they then work to resolve.
In the Premier League, things haven't been going too well, but only Liverpool has scored more goals than them. In their most recent match, Tottenham defeated Liverpool in the Carabao Cup semifinals.
Match Facts
- Tamworth has lost their last two matches.
- Tottenham has won only one of their last four away games.
- Tamworth averages 1.2 goals per game at home, while Tottenham averages 2 goals per game away.
Probable Lineups
- Tamworth: Sing, Crompton, Hollis, Callinan, Fairlemb, Maher, Morrison, Tonks, Williams, Chikuna, Crinney.
- Tottenham: Kinski, Spence, Gray, Porro, Dragushin, Bergvall, Johnson, Bissouma, Son, Kulusevski, Werner.
Head-to-Head
These teams have never met before.
Prediction
Tottenham should have no trouble overcoming such a modest opponent, even if they field a weakened squad. I am betting on an away win with a -1.5 goal handicap.
