Neither Tottenham or Norwich had the season start they have hoped for.

This game will be played on the White Hart Lane Stadium, saturday 1st September 2012. This will be the second consecutive game played by Tottenham on their home ground and they hope to get the first victory of the season. Norwich will have a hard time to get even a single point in London, but they could profit of the weak form Tottenham is showing in this season start, and try to get at least one point.

Both teams were defeated in the first round of the season, and managed to get a point in the second round. As they play at home, Tottenham expects to get the first win of the season and three points that will get them away from the lower half of the table. They are usually involved in the abttle for the title and the European Cups, and this place that they are on at the moment is far from what they have set as an objective for this season. Tottenham needs these three points and surely they will start the game playing offensive since the start. Norwich will come to defend, and with a bit of luck, even to get e point from this game. Still, Tottenham are favorites, the value difference is consistent and they have the highest chances to win this game.
