Shamrock Rovers v Tottenham Tips – Spurs to sign off with win

It’s win or bust for Tottenham when they visit Shamrock Rovers on Thursday night – but even a win might not keep them in the Europa League.

Spurs’ European campaign suffered a major setback when they slipped to a 2-1 defeat to PAOK Salonika last time out, and they now come into the final group game trailing second-placed Rubin Kazan by three points. What makes Spurs’ task even more difficult is the fact they will need a five-game swing (Spurs 63/10 to qualify, Betfair).

Tottenham ran out 3-1 winners when they met Shamrock Rovers back in September, but Harry Redknapp’s men had to survive a scare at White Hart Lane. They fell behind on 50 minutes to a goal from Stephen Rice, but Roman Pavlyuchenko, Jermain Defoe and Giovani Dos Santos ensured there would be no upset.

It remains to be seen what sort of starting XI manager Redknapp will name for this match. On the one hand he has insisted this is a competition he wants to stay in, but he has also virtually written off their chances of progressing. And with a big Premier League game against Sunderland on the horizon, Redknapp could opt to focus on that following the team’s defeat to Stoke City this past weekend.

A weakened Tottenham side would still be expected to get the job done against Shamrock Rovers, and the London club are 4/9 favourites at Betfred to win this match. The Irish side are 13/2 to end Spurs’ campaign with an upset victory, while the draw is 16/5.

Betfred have a Top Industry Price offer on this match, with Spurs winger Aaron Lennon 12/1 to be the first goalscorer and team-mate Steven Pienaar 9/1 in the same market.
