Tottenham finally secure first league win to ease relegation fears

Omar Marmoush says Tottenham will kick on after beating Coventry City for a vital first league win.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 20 October 2026

Tottenham secured their first Premier League victory of the season after defeating Coventry City three to one. Omar Marmoush scored his first goal for the club to help ease the pressure on manager Roberto De Zerbi. The win moved the team up to sixteenth place in the league table.

Betting market impact

Punters looking at outright markets might see Tottenham shorten slightly for relegation survival following this much needed victory. Bookmakers previously pushed out their odds during a miserable run of form that saw zero wins from the first six matches. Bettors should note that all three goals came from outside the box, showing a different way the team can hurt opponents.

Tough fixtures ahead

Roberto De Zerbi takes his side to Stamford Bridge to face Chelsea on Saturday. Bookmakers will likely price Tottenham as clear underdogs in that match given their awful away record over the last thirty seven games. Punters should think carefully before backing them to grab back to back wins.

Home comforts for Marmoush

Omar Marmoush continues a strange statistical quirk with his goals in the English top flight. Every single one of his eleven goals in the competition has been scored at a home stadium. Bettors targeting goalscorer markets might want to remember this trend before backing him on the road.

What it means for a bet

Punters should wait to see if Tottenham can fix their terrible away form before backing them at short odds.
