Tottenham fans may not love Paul Merson’s score prediction for Leeds United clash

Wait 5 sec.

Paul Merson has made his prediction as Tottenham Hotspur venture up to Leeds United at Elland Road, and he has made a bold claim about Thomas Frank’s team.Tottenham Hotspur have had a strange season up to this point. One or two outstanding performances have since been overshadowed by dropped points against teams that, on paper, they should be defeating.Spurs were starting matches well at the beginning of the season, which included taking 2-0 leads against PSG and Manchester City.However, the late stages of the second half have been their saving grace in recent fixtures. Tottenham scored all three goals against West Ham in the latter 45 minutes and required late goals to secure draws against Brighton, Wolves and Bodo/Glimt.Photo by SpursWebPaul Merson predicts another Tottenham drawTottenham’s slow starts are proving costly and Paul Merson has raised concerns about their failure to perform across the whole 90 minutes. He has predicted Spurs to go another game without a win and has even claimed Thomas Frank’s team are not as good as some would think.He told Sportskeeda: “Tottenham are a bit strange, they aren’t a 90-minute team! I’ve noticed that Spurs start playing their best football only after they go behind in games. It’s easy to play when you’re losing, that takes the pressure off your back. But they can’t keep doing it if they want to be ambitious under Thomas Frank this season.“Spurs showed good character to come from 2-0 down to draw against Brighton. But since then, they have struggled against both Wolves and Bodo/Glimt, failing to win them games. So I don’t think they’re as great as some people say!“This is a tough game for Tottenham because Leeds have been quite good at home. If at the start of the season, you told Leeds that they can get a point from this fixture, they would have happily accepted it. “And that’s exactly what I think will happen here. Leeds’ form at home will be crucial to their chances of avoiding relegation and they have shown enough to suggest they can hold Spurs to a draw at Elland Road. I expect goals in this one.”Merson’s Prediction: Leeds United 2-2 Tottenham HotspurCristian Romero will return for Tottenham against LeedsSpurs fans might lack some confidence considering recent matches, but there is some good news.
