Personal analysis: The main reason for Tottenham's ups and downs this season is still the problem of injuries. Recently, Solanke and Johnson on the offensive end are also absent, and Richarlison, who just returned, has a groin injury. This season's injuries are quite unfriendly to Tottenham. The left winger Son Heung-min's breakthrough speed and adjustment ability before shooting on the field have declined a lot compared to before. Kulusevski is also in a difficult position to replace Johnson to play the right winger position. His own breakthrough and crossing abilities are very average. Bentancur in the midfield is currently in average condition after returning from injury, and Sarr, who is a rotation player, is also injured. The team's entire midfield is currently lacking in connection and support capabilities. The defense is currently a long-standing problem for Tottenham. Except for the right back Porro who is capable enough in both offense and defense, the others are not good enough. Elfsborg itself is a defensive counterattack type of team. The offense in the front court is basically centered around Rapp, Abdullai, Zeneli, and Baido. After Baido was traded away in the winter transfer window, the team's offense relied on the other three. Among them, Abdullai is more responsible for breaking through with the ball and organizing the offense, and the other two have more shooting opportunities on the field. The team's ground coordination in positional warfare and mobile warfare and the players' footwork are relatively rough. The offensive goal is more dependent on set-piece coordination and header goals, which is also the main reason why several defenders have scored goals. The team's own midfield interception ability is not strong, and it is more concentrated in the penalty area for blocking and intercepting. This defensive strategy is relatively effective when facing a team with weak offensive ability, but it is difficult to work when encountering a strong center forward or a technical forward.
In terms of the overall strength of the two teams, although Tottenham has many injuries, they still have basic tactical execution and offensive capabilities. At present, the team is more afraid of teams with strong wing breakthrough capabilities, while Elfsborg's offensive method is relatively simple, and it is difficult to put enough pressure on Tottenham's defense. In this game, Tottenham's home game concedes 2 goals, which is a bit high. It can be seen that the organization still has considerable support for Tottenham. In terms of the defensive capabilities of the two teams, Tottenham may be stronger than Elfsborg, so as long as Tottenham can play well on the offensive end, it will not be a big problem for them to win this game. In this game, the Tottenham-2 win option is recommended, and the score is expected to be 3-0 or 4-0.
