Tottenham vs Shakhtar Top Two Betting Tips
On Sunday, August 06th Tottenham are playing their only home-ground friendly of the pre-season in a charity clash vs Ukrainians Shakhtar. This will be the first appearance of new coach Angel Posteceglou in front of the Tottenham fans. However, what the fans wonder more about is will this be the last appearance at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in a Tottenham shirt for Harry Kane? Below you can find our Tottenham vs Shakhtar betting tips, as well as the latest team news.
Contents
Over 2.5 Goals
- Tottenham saw 8 of their last 9 games go over 2.5 goals.
- also, 5 of Tottenham's last 6 games played on home turf had 3 goals or more in them.
- Shakhtar saw 5 of their last 6 matches also go over 2.5 goals.
Shakhtar or Draw
- Tottenham come into this match less than 48 hours before facing Barcelona so some of the regulars won't play as much, if at all.
- Shakhtar's conditioning is better as the season in Ukraine already started and the Pitmen earned 4 points from their first 2 matches.
- the only 2 previous meetings between the teams were during the 2009 Champions League campaign – Shakhtar won 2-0 and drew 1-1 in those matches.

Tottenham are the fancied winners of this game with a probability of 65.2%. For some reason, Shakhtar are given only a 17.5% probability for the win. The Pitmen are experienced European warriors though and they will try to impress the crowd in London as all the proceeds from this match go back to Ukraine.

Tottenham vs Shakhtar Lineups and Last Match
Tottenham
Tottenham had a disrupted trip to Asia this summer. They played only 2 friendlies, with the 2nd one a last-minute arrangement with the modest Singaporean side Lion City Sailors that Spurs won 5-1. This match had to be played because Roma cancelled on Tottenham at the last minute. This happened only days after the match vs Leicester had to be cancelled due to a flooded pitch.
Now so late in the pre-season Tottenham arranged 2 friendlies in the space of just 48 hours. With the away match vs Barcelona on Tuesday the likely game where the regulars will play a lot coach Postecoglou could be restricting most, if not all, of his regulars to a maximum of 45 minutes vs Shakhtar.
Tottenham have 3 long-term absentees. All of Gil, Sessegnon and Bentancur won't be available.
Predicted Lineup – Austin (GK), Emerson, Romero, Davies, Reguilon, Sarr, Skipp, Lo Celso, Solomon, Richarlison & Kane
Shakhtar
Shakhtar's domestic season already started and after 2 rounds the Pitmen have 4 points. The conditioning of the squad is much better because of that. Also, the new centre forward Lassina Traore (ex-Ajax striker) has settled immediately and he's been scoring with ease lately.
Shakhtar have their own injury problems and all of Sudakov, Bondar and Petryak will be absent.
Predicted Lineup – Trubin (GK), Gocholeishvili, Kozik, Matvienko, Pedrinho, Bondarenko, Castillo, Zubkov, Sikan, Newerton & Traore

Player to Watch: Harry Kane
The legendary Tottenham striker Harry Kane has been purposefully chased by Bayern Munchen recently. He expressed his desire to move to Germany but Tottenham's owner is yet to grant such a permission. However, Kane said that if in the coming week, there is a development he might be leaving. This would mean that the coming match could be his last in a Tottenham shirt on home turf.
Knowing Kane's predatory instincts inside the box and the motivation he will play with if this is the case we can see him giving the fans a goal or two.
