Over 2.5 goals at Tottenham vs Chelsea 2/3 for Tuesday’s EFL Cup tie

Posted September 28th, 2020 | By: Tom Dunstan

Competition: EFL Cup

Market: Over 2.5 goals

Odds: 2/3 @ 888sport

In what could prove to be another lively encounter in midweek, Tottenham will play host to Chelsea on EFL Cup duties from behind closed doors on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, having to settle for an extremely controversial point while on Premier League duties over the weekend, Tottenham have continued to show their inconsistencies. Although the Lilywhites might have just about managed to extend on their Europa League qualifying adventure on foreign soil earlier in the month, they have managed to win just one of their opening three top-flight appearances and are yet to record a single clean sheet across any competition since opening the 2020/202021 campaign. Along with signing off their pre-season preparations with a 2-1 defeat away at recently relegated Watford, it should be noted that four of Tottenham’s last six matchups have seen over 2.5 goals by the final whistle. It is also worth highlighting, Spurs’ last three EFL Cup home fixtures have produced 10 goals and we should be in for a similar outcome in midweek.

As for the visitors, while Chelsea might have also managed to salvage what appeared to be an extremely unlikely point over the weekend, they too are dealing with some rather glaring issues at the back. Much like Tuesday’s hosts, the Blues have managed to open the 2020/2021 campaign with just a single Premier League victory to their name and they have won just a pair of their previous seven matchups across all competitions continuing on from the summer. Remarkably, it should also be highlighted that out of Chelsea’s last nine competitive fixtures outside of West London, each of those appearances have seen over 2.5 goals by the final whistle. With their last two contests over the past week producing 12 goals, we’re backing another high-scoring London derby on Tuesday night.
