Spurs return to play in front of a home crowd for the first time this pre-season as the Lilywhites welcome German side Schalke to White Hart Lane for their final warm up friendly.

Pochettino’s first game in front of the spurs faithful will end what has surely been a pleasing first few pre-season months in the job. His side have managed 3 wins from their 4 games thus far, scoring 15 and conceding 6 in the process. Journeying back to last season Spurs ended the campaign in strong form at home, a run which saw them win their last 4 games at White Hart Lane.

As for the visitors, Schalke have endured a somewhat up and down pre-season which includes high’s such as their 11-1 victory over lower league Rosenheim as well as low’s such as the recent two home defeats to Newcastle and West Ham. Last time out, Schalke endured another below par result as they could only manage a draw against 2^nd Bundesliga side Bochum. Despite not showing the levels of form expected in the latter parts of their pre-season, the German side haven’t fielded there strongest sides in recent weeks and for a team who certainly aren’t lacking in high grade talent, particularly in the attacking areas with players such as Kevin Prince Boateng, Jefferson Farfan and World Cup winning youngster – Julian Draxler, one would expect to see a stronger side deployed for this one.

It is expected that Schalke will up their game for this fixture and should not be underestimated. However, Spurs have already looked good this pre-season and continued to improve last time out, defeating Celtic 6-1 last Saturday. Combined with the fact that they’ve a few extra days rest and playing in front of a home crowd it is Spurs who we are tipping to get the victory at 10/11. Additionally, Spurs have already been free-scoring thus far and Schalke certainly have the players to get serious in the final third, and thus over 2.5 goals also looks worth a punt at the same price of 8/11.
