That can push some bettors toward Asian handicap lines such as Tottenham -1.0 or -1.25, which depend heavily on Spurs converting pressure into goals. Historically this fixture at Tottenham has seen a reasonable number of goals, with several matches finishing over 2.5, so over 2.5 goals may appear around moderate odds, with over 3.5 likely at a bigger price. Both Teams To Score has been mixed in recent meetings, often depending on how ambitious Palace are away from home, so BTTS might be slightly under even money if markets expect Spurs dominance but still give Palace a counter-attacking threat.
