Football is the beautiful game, no question about that. But there comes a time when every good team really needs to win something.
Spurs fans love the football that Mauricio Pochettino has brought, and in Harry Kane, they have one of world football’s hottest properties. But they’ve been trophy-less for a decade. Their most loyal supporters will be happy to back them in their online betting match choices, but would they put their cash on Mauricio winning some silverware this year?
Spurs are still in three competitions, but at betting odds of 27.00 to win the Champions League, this one may be asking too much.
Juventus vs Tottenham Hotspur
Navigating a tie against one of Europe’s big guns is a stern enough test for now, and you don’t get many tougher opponents than Juventus. Spurs have shown their potential though, having beaten Real Madrid on the way to winning their qualifying group.
The Bianconeri came second to Barcelona in Group D but have an undoubted pedigree in Europe and at home, where they are chasing a seventh consecutive Serie A title. And in Gonzalo Higuain and Paulo Dybala, they have two strikers to give Kane a run for his money, though midfielder Blaise Matuidi is a doubt.
FC Basel vs Manchester City
The other Tuesday game pitches Basel of Switzerland against Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the favourites to lift the title at odds of 4.30. The Sky Blues need to win this tie without too much trouble if they are to maintain that status, but Basel have already beaten Manchester United in the competition and have their own wonder kid in Dimitri Oberlin, who scored four in qualifying.
