Tottenham
Leyton Orient and Tottenham take on each other in a David-vs-Goliath friendly at the Breyer Group Stadium. The O’s failed to impress in the last season finale, with the team losing each of their last four league fixtures. The League Two side continue to struggle as they were hammered by Dundee (0-3) in the first pre-season friendly. Considering that Leyton struggle at the back, home win should not be considered.
Spurs, on the other hand, aim to prepare for their Premier League opener in the best way possible. New boss Nuno Espirito Santo is eager to win emerge triumphant on his Tottenham debut, which is probably the main reason why we are tempted to put our money on the capital club. Keep in mind, though, that key attacker Harry Kane will be rested in Saturdays’ friendly following his participation in the EURO 2020 final.
