Our football betting expert Jones Knows tipped four winners from four bets on Tuesday night, what is on his radar when Spurs meet Palace?
Tottenham vs Crystal Palace, Thursday 8pm
New Tottenham boss Igor Tudor likes his teams to play aggressively. His stints at Lazio and Juventus saw spikes in fouls per 90, and that approach has started here in north London. Spurs have committed 31 fouls across the two games since Tudor arrived.
Radu Dragusin has picked up the mantle of rashness in the absence of the suspended Cristian Romero. He's made seven fouls in his last three matches. When cool heads are required in the situation Spurs find themselves in, the approach of Dragusin isn't exactly helping calm the nerves.
Dragusin's position, temperament and Tudor's high-intensity defensive setup all point toward him picking up multiple fouls yet again.
At 7/2 with Sky Bet for +2 fouls, the market is not fully reflecting how often Dragusin is being forced into challenges and making them under Tudor's system. Two or more fouls in this clash looks well within range.
