Tottenham with 3 games left, will they keep their UCL hopes alive? Son Heung-min’s toes ‘attention’
5th place Tottenham faces ‘relegation zone’ Burnley at 11pm on the 11th.
I believe in the Burnley killer!’
Tottenham of the English Professional Football Premier League (EPL), mired in a 4-game losing streak with 3 games left until the end of the season, is attempting to revive the ‘glimpse of hope’ for participation in the 2024-2025 European Football Confederation (UEFA) Champions League (UCL).
Tottenham will play the 2023-2024 EPL round 37 home game against 19th place Burnley at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England at 11 pm (Korean time) on the 11th.
Tottenham’s recent situation is literally the worst. 온라인카지노사이트
The balance of offense and defense was completely lost, resulting in four consecutive losses.
During 4 consecutive losses, they gave up 12 goals and scored only 5 goals.
As they were unable to accumulate points, Tottenham (60 points, goal difference +11) fell to 5th place.
The gap with 4th place Aston Villa (67 points, goal difference +20), which has played one more game, is 7 points, and they are chasing 6th place Newcastle (56 points) by 4 points.
Tottenham, who have three games left until the end of this season, must win the remaining games and Aston Villa must suffer two consecutive losses to snatch fourth place.
The reason Tottenham needs to take 4th place is because of the UCL ticket for next season.
The teams ranked 1st to 4th in the EPL will advance to the 2024-2025 UCL finals.
The 5th place team will receive a ticket to the UEFA Europa League finals, and the 6th place team will secure a ticket to the UEFA Europa Conference League playoffs.
Tottenham must win the game against Burnley in the 37th round to keep alive the faint hope of regaining 4th place and at the same time increase the possibility of securing 5th place.
If we lose to Burnley, our dream of fourth place disappears.
Burnley (24 points) has fallen to 19th place with two games left until the end of the season and is at risk of relegation (18th to 20th places).
The gap with 17th-place Nottingham Forest (29 points), which is the Maginot line for EPL survival, is 5 points, so if they draw or lose in this match against Tottenham, relegation is confirmed.
For this reason, both Tottenham and Burnley go into their second match of the season shouting only ‘win’.
Tottenham met Burnley in the fourth round last September and won 5-2.
At that time, the key player in the victory over Burnley was ‘Sonsational’ Son Heung-min.
Son Heung-min maintained his goal silence until the third round and then lived up to his name by scoring a hat-trick against Burnley.
Prior to this, in the match against Burnley in the 16th round of the 2019-2020 EPL held in December 2019, he sprinted about 70 meters and scored a ‘wonder goal’, establishing himself as the ‘Burnley Killer’.
For this reason, fans’ attention is bound to be focused on Son Heung-min, who faces Burnley in a situation where Tottenham desperately needs a win.
Although the team is mired in four consecutive losses, Son Heung-min’s decision-making ability has not been bad recently.
Son Heung-min scored his 17th league goal in the 36th round (2-4 loss) against Liverpool and ranked 7th in the scoring rankings.
They are 8 goals behind leader Erling Holland (Manchester City, 25 goals).
Considering the last 10 regular league games, he performed well with 5 goals and 3 assists.
Son Heung-min, who succeeded in making his 300th EPL game appearance through the Liverpool game, recorded his 120th EPL career goal and was ranked tied for 22nd in the EPL all-time scoring list along with Steven Gerrard.
If Son Heung-min scores multiple goals against Burnley, he can surpass Raheem Sterling (Chelsea) and Romelu Lukaku (121 goals), who are tied for 20th place.
