Football Bet of the Day: Goals enter a purple patch at White Hart Lane

Back in Black: Mauricio Pochettino's men have not been defensively solid in the Europa League

"Fiorentina scored eight times in their three group-stage away matches and have netted at least once in 11/12 Europa League road games over the last two years"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.1011/10 in Tottenham v Fiorentina

Tobias Gourlay expects Fiorentina to go hard at Tottenham tonight and land a blow or two

Tottenham v Fiorentina
Thursday 20:05

Our cup runneth over. Sporting Cristal 3 Alianza Atletico 0 in Peru last night, which means we've won four in a row since Sunday.

The focus today is Tottenham's Europa League second leg at home to Fiorentina. Spurs' away goal in Florence last week means that La Viola must play on the front foot in London tonight.

Paulo Sousa's men won a Serie A match 3-2 at Atalanta last weekend and would be delighted with a similar result today. They also scored eight times in their three group-stage away matches and have netted at least once in 11/12 Europa League road games over the last two years. Only double reigning champions Sevilla have shut them down completely.

In Europe, Mauricio Pochettino's men have conceded in 10/12 at White Hart Lane. Nine of those games delivered Over 2.5 Goals in total and, at an odds-against price, that's our pick for this evening.
