Tamworth vs Tottenham Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Postecoglou eyes a big win for the Lilywhites.

The FA Cup take us to the Lamb Ground, where Tamworth are scheduled to lock horns against Spurs.

Tamworth FC, currently positioned 16th in the National League points table, will be eager to make a significant leap when they face Tottenham Hotspur in their upcoming clash. Despite the daunting challenge posed by the Premier League giants, the home side will aim to deliver a respectable and spirited performance against the formidable North London outfit.

Tamworth enter this contest on the back of a defeat to Sutton United in their most recent encounter, a result that has left them hungry for redemption. Facing Spurs provides an opportunity for the team to rise to the occasion and test themselves against top-tier opposition, with the hopes of leaving a lasting impression and gaining valuable momentum for their domestic campaign.

Tottenham Hotspur currently find themselves at the middle echelon of the Premier League points table. However, their recent inconsistent form has seen them also hovering around 12th place in fluctuating rankings, showcasing the competitive nature of the league. Spurs are coming off a morale-boosting victory over Liverpool in the EFL Cup semi-finals, a significant achievement after halting Liverpool’s winless run. A solitary goal from Bergwijn in the 86th minute proved decisive, helping Spurs secure the win and snap their prolonged winless streak.
