S.P. Read Esq: Tottenham v Juventus

Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to Wednesday’s Champions League game between TOTTENHAM v JUVENTUS and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.

With Liverpool already through to the quarter finals and Man City seemingly only needing to do a similar containing job tonight against FC Basel, there can be little doubt that the standout match has to be Spurs v Juventus at Wembley.

Mauricio Pochettino’s side have given themselves a great chance of progressing having fought back from 2-0 down in Turin to finish all square.

Pochettino said: “After the group stage we improved our reputation in Europe.

“Last season was a massive disappointment to be out in the first stage, but this year of course the people in Europe start to respect Tottenham.

“They respect the philosophy we build and the football we play. We feel we have respect for the brand of football we show, they respect us in Europe we feel.”

The stats are certainly with Spurs – 83% (10 out of 12) of teams to have drawn 2-2 away in the first leg of a Champions League knockout tie have progressed to the next round.

However, I think it may be a long drawn out affair and certainly cagey to begin with so I will be buying the first match goal at 38 minutes with Star Spreads.
