Cardiff can capitalise on Tottenham's tough week

Kick-off 3pm Saturday

Tottenham are doing just about enough to keep their fans on their side but they have had a tough week, losing 4-2 to Barcelona on Wednesday, and may be worth opposing when they play struggling Cardiff.

Getting any points from the big boys is tough for promoted teams but Cardiff could not have picked a better time to take on the Lilywhites.

The Londoners are likely to be feeling mentally and physically tired after their midweek exertions and may lack creativity with Christian Eriksen, Dele Alli and Mousa Dembele injured.

Recommendation
Cardiff or draw double chance
1pt 10-3 bet365
