Tottenham are priced at 2/1 to achieve a famous victory. Spurs have been in some awesome form recently with 8 wins from their last 9 matches in all competition. Harry Kane has of course been the main man and has four goals in five games in this competition. The England captain will lead the line for the visitors and is 1/1 to score anytime. He is fortunate enough to play with Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli behind him. Both attacking midfielders thrive in big games situations. Eriksen is always a danger from set-pieces and is 9/1 to score outside the area.
Despite sitting second in the group, Spurs will need this match and the other result to go in their favour if they are to qualify for the knockout stages.
