Tottenham vs Liverpool Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive betting odds on all Premier League matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as per the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Tottenham (1) | X | Liverpool (2) |
| 11/5 | 13/5 | 24/25 |
The 1X2 is one of the most popular wagers in football betting. This bet gives three options:
- 1: Home team (Tottenham ) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (Liverpool) wins
As per the latest Tottenham vs Liverpool betting odds, the odds are 11/5 for Tottenham, 13/5 for a draw, and 24/25 for Liverpool. In fractional odds, the numerator represents the profit, and the denominator tells you the corresponding bet amount. So, if you correctly predict Tottenham’s win at 11/5 odds, you stand to profit £11 for every £5 wagered. Similarly, if your bet on Liverpool is successful, you will profit £24 for every £25. Correctly predicting a draw with 13/5 odds will pay £13 for every £5.
Look at both teams’ recent form and head-to-head history to decide which way to bet. Both teams are also playing in the UEFA Champions League. The Reds have four wins and two losses in six matches, while the Spurs have three wins, two draws, and one loss in the same period.
Double Chance
| Tottenham or Draw | Tottenham or Liverpool | Draw or Liverpool |
| 9/13 | 1/4 | 3/10 |
Bettors have a higher probability of winning in the Double Chance market compared to 1X2. This is because this market gives the option to bet on two outcomes in the same match, instead of one. So, you can choose:
- 1X: Tottenham wins, or the match draws. The bet loses if the Reds win.
- 12: Either the Spurs or Liverpool wins. The bet loses if the match ends in a draw.
- X2: The match draws, or Liverpool wins. You lose if Tottenham wins.
This market is useful if both teams appear to be equally matched and you expect a tight contest. However, if one team appears to be clearly stronger in the fixture, opt for 1X2 instead for better returns on your bet. The odds in Double Chance are always low because of the high win probability.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Tottenham (+0.5) | Liverpool (-0.5) |
| 20/27 | 20/21 |
| Tottenham (+1.25) | Liverpool (-1.25) |
| 1/3 | 21/10 |
| Tottenham (-0.75) | Liverpool (+0.75) |
| 3/1 | 2/9 |
Handicap is a useful bet when one team appears to be clearly stronger. Liverpool is five spots ahead of the Spurs on the Premier League table. So, they may be considered fan favourites in this fixture. But this doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t bet on Tottenham.
Handicap market allows you to give an advantage or disadvantage to your chosen team. For example, if you award a +1 handicap to Tottenham, one point will be added to their final goal count, and one point will be subtracted from Liverpool. So, a final score of 0–1 will be adjusted as 1–0 after applying the handicap. This means bets on the Spurs win even if they lose the match.
The betting line for this fixture can be adjusted between +1.75 and -0.75 for the Spurs. However, it is essential to consider the goal margin when selecting a handicap. Here’s a quick guide on how the goal margin varies with different handicaps:
- Tottenham (+0.5)/ Liverpool (-0.5): This is the default handicap set for this fixture on 7bet. A +0.5 handicap gives an advantage to the Spurs in case of a draw. Bets on Liverpool win if they win the match with a two-goal difference.
- Tottenham (+1.25)/ Liverpool (-1.25): Bets on Tottenham Hotspur win if they win, draw, or lose by two goals. For example, a score of 0–2 will be adjusted as 1.25–0.75. Liverpool will be able to overcome the gap with a three-goal margin win (0–3 becomes 1.25–1.75).
- Tottenham (-0.75)/ Liverpool (+0.75): Liverpool gets a one-goal advantage here. For example, a score of 1–0 will be read as 0.25–0.75. Tottenham needs to win with a two-goal margin to overcome the handicap (2–0 becomes 1.25–0.75).
Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 5/9 | 9/7 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a safe bet for cautious bettors because it considers only a small aspect of the game: whether both teams will score during the match or not.
There are two possible ways to bet on this market:
- BTTS Yes: This bet wins if both teams score at least once. The final score should be at least 1–1 or higher.
- BTTS No: “No” bets win if one or both teams fail to score. For example, scores such as 0–0, 1–0, or 0–2 are all winners in this market.
When analyzing the Tottenham vs Liverpool odds in this market, consider their clean sheet record in the last 10 matches. A clean sheet is when the opposition team fails to score any goals. This indicates a strong defense, and a higher chance of BTTS “No” bets winning. Liverpool kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Tottenham Hotspur kept three.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/8 | 6/5 |
Predict whether the total number of goals scored in Sunday’s match will go over or under your chosen betting line. For example, if you bet on Over 2.5 goals, the total number of goals must be at least three or higher for your bet to win. It doesn’t matter which team scores the goals; only the combined total counts. So any combination of results like 0–3, 2–1, 1–2, etc, will win.
On the other hand, if you bet on Under 2.5 goals, the match should produce two or fewer goals in total. Scores such as 0–2, 1–0, 0–0, or 1–1 will win in this bet.
In their last ten matches, Tottenham averaged 1.8 goals per game, while Liverpool averaged 1.3. That gives a combined average of 3.1 goals per match. Use this data when looking at the Tottenham vs Liverpool odds in this market.
Correct Score Odds
| Final Score | Tottenham vs Liverpool Odds |
| 0-0 | 15/1 |
| 1-0 | 12/1 |
| 1-1 | 6/1 |
| 0-1 | 9/1 |
| 2-0 | 19/1 |
| 2-2 | 11/1 |
| 0-2 | 10/1 |
| 2-1 | 11/1 |
| 1-2 | 15/2 |
This is a high-paying market. However, bettors should note that the odds and probability are inversely related in betting. The higher the odds, the lower the probability of the outcome. Predicting the correct score can be risky as it involves guessing and a fair bit of luck. Minimize your risk by betting only small amounts here.
