Football betting: Uefa Cup - Anderlecht vs Spurs

Tottenham Hotspur's league form may leave something to be desired but their Uefa Cup form is going from strength to strength and should see them qualify for the knockout rounds at the expense of Anderlecht on Thursday.

Ah, them were the days, as Glenn Hoddle would say. Well, them days would could be returning as Spurs seem to be getting it right in Europe. They are going about it the hard way, losing their opening Uefa Cup match against Getafe, and going two goals down against Aalborg in the last group match before coming back to win 3-2, but if they are to do well in this competition they have certainly got the right coach on board in Juand Ramos. Ramos won the Uefa Cup for the second successive season last term and will have his players fired up for the trip to Brussels on Thursday. Ramos's Spurs were unlucky to lose 3-2 at Birmingham at the weekend and will be looking to take out their frustrations on an underperforming Anderlecht outfit and should be backed at 5/4 with Paddy Power. Like Tottenham, Bolton and Crvena Zvezda, come to think of it, Anderlecht have already dispensed with a coach this season, with Frankie Vercouteren making way for Ariel Jacobs. However, results have not picked up for Les Mauves et Blancs, who are fifth in the Belgian league with one win from the last five matches. Like Spurs the Belgians managed to beat Hapoel Tel Aviv 2-0 in the Uefa Cup but they drew 1-1 with AaB and in all honesty should find the visitors, who have scored ten goals in four matches in a superior league, too hot to handle.
