There are a wide array of potential final outcomes to Tottenham Hotspur’s season, and no matter what happens, it will be very dramatic. Spurs lost 1-0 at home in midweek to Ajax, the first leg of their UCL semifinal tie, and things just currently don’t look good on the European front.
Sure, they can still turn that tie around and go through to the Champions League final, but if they do it looks like Barcelona await, and right now Barca just is not messing around. Domestically, third place Spurs still haven’t clinched a top four spot, but it also looks very unlikely that fifth place Arsenal will rise up and overtake them.
Only a disaster scenario could see that situation transpire. If you look at the sports betting sites UK you’ll notice that Spurs have extremely favorable odds of finishing in the top four. The book makers also see them as strong favorites on Saturday, when Mauricio Pochettino’s men will travel to AFC Bournemouth. Spurs will be at Dean Court, striving for a result that could move them that much closer to clinching a berth back in Europe next season.
