Tottenham vs AS Roma prediction: Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde?
Key stats:
- Roma and Spurs have never played each other in competitive fixtures.
- Roma only have one win in their last six fixtures.
- There have been an average of four goals in Spurs' last five matches.
Correct score prediction: Tottenham 3-2 AS Roma
Spurs' November has consisted of the euphoric highs of four-goal wins over Manchester City and Aston Villa, as well as the crushing low of defeat to struggling Ipswich.
It can be hard to tell which version of Tottenham you're going to get.
In the mix was also a close 3-2 defeat away to Galatasaray. We think it will go the other way in this one, with Spurs edging out a talented, but out of form Roma side in a helter-skelter game.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Tottenham favourites
HOME: 8/11 (1.73) – 57.9%
DRAW: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As is to be expected, the bookmakers' expected winner in this game is Tottenham. Their odds of 8/11 imply a 57.9% likelihood of victory, a probability that's hard to argue with given the form of the two sides.

Tottenham preview: Which team will turn up?
As mentioned above, Tottenham have been gloriously inconsistent of late. Two wins over Manchester City and another over Aston Villa are contrasted with a pair of defeats to Ipswich and Crystal Palace.
What was particularly remarkable about their win at the weekend was that they did it without both Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero. The pair will miss this one too. Spurs will likely edge this one, but it'll be a rollercoaster.
Predicted lineup: Forster (GK), Porro, Dragusin, Davies, Gray, Bergvall, Bissouma, Sarr, Johnson, Solanke, Werner

Roma preview: Can Ranieri stop the rot?
Roma spent big in the summer on the back of strong form under Daniele de Rossi in the second half of last season.
Fast forward a few months, and Roma are already on their third manager of 2024/25, with veteran Claudio Ranieri brought in to steady the ship with the club in 12th place in Serie A.
Ranieri was “content” with the Romans' performance against table-topping Napoli, but he will want to win sooner rather later.
Predicted lineup: Svilar (GK), Celik, Mancini, Hummels, Angelino, El Sharaawy, Kone, Cristante, Pisini, Pellegrini, Dobvyk

Player to watch: Dominic Solanke
Despite recording six goals and three assists for Tottenham already, there is an argument to be made that Dominic Solanke could have scored even more.
The England international has actually put up 7.3 expected goals, meaning he has scored fewer goals from his quality of chances than one would expect.
We think Solanke could well put that right against this struggling Roma side.
