The season is still fairly new and the Premier League table has to be read with caution. So far Manchester United find themselves in 14th position and Tottenham Hotspur are placed 8th.

Tottenham Hotspur form and stats

Only one away game in the Premier League so far for Tottenham Hotspur and it resulted in three points. Last season the statistics for their away games were 4 victories, 8 draws and 7 losses from 19 travels.

Impressive finishing from Giovani Lo Celso (2), Harry Kane (3), Dele Alli and Lucas Moura secured the home win 7-2 against Maccabi Haifa in their previous game. Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Chelsea (after extra-time, 5-4 on penalties) in the Carabao Cup.

As you can tell from the results above, Tottenham Hotspur was very dominant against Maccabi Haifa, winning the match with a scoreline that even the finest fortune teller couldn't predict. 7-2 (!) with Giovani Lo Celso (2), Harry Kane (3), Dele Alli and Lucas Moura providing the goals. Harry Kane certainly enjoyed Spurs's last game versus Maccabi Haifa, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 7-2 victory.

We have checked recent matches where Tottenham Hotspur have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those two games were one victory, zero draws and one defeat.

It's early days yet, but Tottenham Hotspur has scored 5 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).

Head 2 Head
