NS Mura v Tottenham match odds

Antonio Conte’s first match as Tottenham manager came three weeks ago in this competition when he was given a glimpse of what life at the club is like with a dramatic 3-2 win over Vitesse Arnhem.

Conte witnessed a perfect start as Spurs found themselves 3-0 up in less than half an hour.

Son Heung-min scored the opener in the 14th minute before Lucas Moura and a Jacob Rasmussen own goal seemingly had the hosts in total control.

Rasmussen pulled one back for the Dutch side before Matus Bero reduced the arrears again and Cristian Romero’s red card on the hour put Spurs further on the back foot.

It was only when Danilho Doekhi and Markus Schubert were sent off for Vitesse in the final 10 minutes that they were able to get control of the game.

Conte will hope for an improved defensive display here, having since overseen a 0-0 draw at Everton and 2-1 home win against Leeds.

Tottenham are 1/6 for a third victory in four matches under Conte while a win to nil is an option for Mura v Tottenham betting tips at 7/10.
