Tottenham welcome Coventry City to North London on Monday night, desperately searching for their first Premier League victory of the season.
Roberto De Zerbi’s side sit 19th after six matches, with just three points and three goals to their name. Not exactly the revolution Spurs supporters were hoping for.
Coventry, meanwhile, arrive with renewed confidence after consecutive victories over Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
Frank Lampard’s side followed their 1-0 win at the City Ground with a stunning 4-1 victory over Newcastle, producing arguably their best performance since returning to the Premier League.
Suddenly, it’s Coventry heading into this fixture with momentum, while Tottenham face another uncomfortable evening in front of their own supporters.
What are the best betting tips for Tottenham vs Coventry?
Coventry double chance
Tottenham have failed to win any of their opening six league matches, losing three and drawing three.
Their attacking problems have been particularly concerning, with just three goals scored.
Coventry have finally found their feet in the Premier League, winning their last two matches and scoring five goals in the process.
With Spurs struggling for confidence and Coventry enjoying their best spell of the season, backing the visitors to avoid defeat looks appealing.
Under 2.5 goals
Tottenham have scored just three goals in six Premier League matches, failing to find the net in four of them.
Coventry’s recent improvement has been impressive, but they also failed to score in their opening four league fixtures.
Spurs will be desperate to avoid another home defeat, which could make De Zerbi more cautious than usual.
Despite Coventry’s four-goal display against Newcastle, a relatively tight encounter looks possible.
Jack Rudoni to score or assist
Jack Rudoni was among the goalscorers during Coventry’s impressive 4-1 victory over Newcastle.
The midfielder has become an important creative presence for Frank Lampard’s side, operating behind the striker.
Tottenham will be without suspended midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur, potentially leaving more space for Coventry to exploit centrally.
Rudoni could play a significant role if the visitors cause another upset.

Tottenham vs Coventry prediction
Tottenham’s start to the season has been nothing short of miserable.
Three points from six matches, just three goals scored and no league victories have left De Zerbi under considerable pressure.
Coventry have experienced their own difficulties, but their recent results suggest Frank Lampard is beginning to find the right formula.
Beating Nottingham Forest away from home was encouraging. Putting four past Newcastle was even better.
The visitors should approach Monday’s match believing they can take something from it.
Spurs have the stronger individual players, but that hasn’t translated into convincing performances.
Coventry’s confidence and Tottenham’s lack of cutting edge could make this another frustrating evening for the home crowd.
Score prediction: Tottenham 1-1 Coventry
