Cardiff v Tottenham betting tips: Can Kane and co bounce back?

Odds and preview for Premier League clash

After a shock 3-1 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday, Tottenham Hotspur’s title charge has been halted. But can they get it back on track away at Cardiff City?

The Bluebirds picked up a surprise result too at the weekend, landing a 1-0 win away at Leicester City.

It all serves to highlight the recent unpredictability of the Premier League. Is another surprise in store tonight? We’ll find out with the game live on Sky Sports at 5.30…

Head-to-head

This fixture hasn’t been a thriller in recent years. In three Premier League meetings, Tottenham have won each by a 1-0 scoreline.

Form-wise, Neil Warnock’s hosts come into this one with four points and a pair of clean sheets in their last two games. The Welsh side have been far stronger on home soil this season too, and have won four of their last six at the Cardiff City stadium.

As for Spurs, they were flying over the Christmas period with 6-2 and 5-0 wins over Everton and Bournemouth respectively, before that collapse to Wolves. They have been excellent on the road this term, however, winning nine of 11 away from Wembley.

Likely XIs

What does Mauricio Pochettino do here? There doesn’t seem to be much the Argentine can do except go again. Lucas Moura started on the bench against Wolves, so he could get a reprise this evening.

With Eric Dier and Victor Wanyama both still out, Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko will start in central midfield.

Warnock made several changes for that win over Leicester, but he may choose to stick with it here.
