Spurs come into this after their opening friendly against Swindon Town on Tuesday night which saw them field two starting 11’s and end the match 1-1. You would expect a similar type of scenario to play out on Friday as Villas-Boas rotates his squad to give them all playing time. By mixing the team with a blend of youth and experience it does give the hosts somewhat of an outside chance to get a result as the scoreline against The Robins shows.

Colchester have already faced Premier League opposition in West Ham and were defeated 2-1 on Tuesday night. They have played a few more games than their more illustrious counter parts so may have the edge Tottenham fitness wise on Friday night.

Friendly matches are always hard to call given the fact you don’t know who will play, how long they will play for and how seriously they will take the game. You’d expect Colchester to be more up for it than Spurs as a Premier League scalp, even in a friendly match, is always worth taking.

There’s few markets available on this match (at the time of writing) highlighted by the lack of First Goalscorer and anytime onion bagger market. From the ones that have been chalked up, one that does stand out is Tottenham / Draw in the HT/FT Market. Working on the assumption that Spurs will rotate fully and play two teams as they did on Tuesday, then the 22/1 on offer with Sportingbet is of interest.

I expect the class of Spurs to come out in the first half and the fitness of Colchester’s players to come to the fore in the second. They did score last in their 2-1 defeat on Tuesday and hopefully they’ll do the same tonight and in doing so give us a 22/1 winner.
