Football odds: Uefa Cup - PSV vs Spurs

Never was a difference in terms of European experience so strongly shown than in Tottenham's 1-0 home defeat to PSV last week when the Dutch side handed out a footballing lesson in north London. Coach Juande Ramos now has to raise his troops if he is to fulfil his dream of winning three Uefa Cups back to back as Spurs travel to the Philips Stadioum for the second leg.

Ramos has made turning over first game deficits a habit since he took over at Spurs and despite being run ragged and conceding a Jefferson Farfan goal in the first leg, the Spaniard will be hoping to see his side repeat some recent notable bounce-back performances. Spurs lost in the league to Arsenal in December then recovered to beat them 5-1 a month later in the Carling Cup and likewise they lost to Chelsea in the Premier League before their 2-1 Carling Cup victory. If the hangover from the Carling Cup victory has been to blame for their recent poor form, they improved markedly at the weekend with a 4-0 demolition of West Ham to recover some confidence ahead of tonight's game where they have to score at least twice to advance into the quarter-finals. They also welcome back club captain Ledley King and Jermaine Jenas while first-leg culprit Gilberto is left behing in north London. "In the Champions League or the Uefa Cup, tiny details can swing the balance of the tie," said Ramos. "In our case, a mistake in our defence cost us [last Thursday]. "But we will fight and I don't see any great difference between the teams. "Playing at home or away doesn't change matters greatly. We are going to play like we always do: we only know how to play to win. We always try to take the initiative and to play a fast game. The first-leg result makes things much more difficult but we have our weapons." PSv were composed and showed what an experienced side they were on the ball at White Hart Lane but with a Tottenham side knowing they have to score to advance we will see the PSv defence come under more pressure than we did during the first leg and one key battle will be how Spurs' attacking duo of Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov put veteran Belgian defender Timmy Simons under pressure. Because Spurs have to go out all guns blazing and place the emphasis on attack there will be a lot of chances taken by the Londoners. This fact alone gives us a betting opportunity with Blue Square. In the first leg Berbatov saw one shot bounce back off the bar and while the Bulgarian was strangely muted on the night, expect an all together better display. However the 12/1 on ofer that he will strike woodwork again looks too good to turn down. For Ramos's sake Spurs fans will be hoping the strikers can find the back of the net as he seeks another turnaround that will keep alive his dreams of an historic treble: "The first Uefa Cup victory was a beautiful and unforgettable experience," he said. "I remember last season, in the last 16, when Andres Palop [the Sevilla goalkeeper] scored in the 90th minute in the second leg at Shakhtar Donetsk to force extra-time," he said. "We were really close to being knocked out but we ended up as champions."
