Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City Prediction: Spurs to grab first PL win in 12/1 Bet Builder

Tottenham Hotspur are still searching for their first Premier League win of the season, but they can build on their late fightback at Manchester United against Coventry City on Monday night.

Spurs were the better side for long periods at Old Trafford and created several good chances, but wasteful finishing nearly left them empty-handed before Dominic Solanke's stoppage-time equaliser.

Roberto De Zerbi's side have scored just three goals across their six league matches this season, despite having more shots than Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle heading into this round of Premier League fixtures.

They have also struggled at home, losing two of their three Premier League games in north London.

Coventry arrive with renewed confidence after following up their first league win of the season at Nottingham Forest with an emphatic 4-1 victory over Newcastle United.

Frank Lampard's side lost their opening four league matches without scoring, but consecutive wins have transformed their early-season outlook.

The visitors will pose a threat if Tottenham continue to waste chances, although Spurs have enough attacking quality to make home advantage count.

Solanke could be particularly important after finding the net late against Manchester United.

Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City

Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City Prediction

Best Bet: Tottenham to win and both teams to score @ 15/8

Tottenham's display at Old Trafford offered encouragement, even if their finishing nearly cost them a result.

They created several promising opportunities against Manchester United and should be able to trouble Coventry if they show greater composure in front of goal.

Solanke's late equaliser could provide a timely boost for De Zerbi's side, who will recognise the importance of turning improved performances into their first league win of the campaign.

Coventry should not be underestimated after their recent results, particularly their 4-1 win over Newcastle.

Their attacking form suggests they can trouble Spurs, but the hosts have enough quality to take all three points.

Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 11/8

Coventry's 4-1 victory over Newcastle demonstrated their attacking potential, and their recent improvement should give them confidence heading into this trip to north London.

Tottenham have created plenty of chances despite scoring just three goals across their six league matches. If they become more clinical, they could play their part in a high-scoring contest.

With Spurs chasing their first league win and Coventry arriving after consecutive victories, over 3.5 goals is an appealing option.

Tottenham Hotspur v Coventry City Bet Builder Tip

  • Dominic Solanke 2+ shots on target

  • Milan Van Ewijk 2+ fouls

  • Pedro Porro 2+ shots

    Pays 12/1

Solanke had three attempts against Manchester United and scored Tottenham's stoppage-time equaliser.

He has shown he can get into dangerous positions and should have opportunities to test the Coventry goalkeeper. With Spurs expected to attack on home soil, the striker could be central to their efforts to secure a first league win of the season.

Van Ewijk could be kept busy by Tottenham's wide players. The Coventry defender committed four fouls across his last three matches and has received two bookings in that period.

Porro is a regular attacking outlet for Tottenham and has averaged 3.2 shots per match this season. His willingness to shoot from distance, alongside his involvement in set pieces, makes him an attractive option to register at least two attempts.
