Three key stats ahead of Southampton vs Tottenham
111 – Worth a pop
So Tottenham’s defence has been very, very good so far this season, but what of their attack?
Well, Spurs sit second in the standings for the most number of shots on targets (111) and are one of only two teams (Liverpool being the other) to have had over 100 accurate efforts on goal over the course of the season.
But Spurs’ finishing hasn’t quite been as good as the Reds, scoring just 29 times from their 111 shots on target. Liverpool have scored 41 times. It seems Spurs are willing to shoot but rarely does this translate into goals.
This must improve against Southampton’s stingy defence.
