Tottenham Hotspur made great strides in their first season under Ange Postecoglou - but can they go one further and secure Champions League football this term?

Odds Now have taken a close look at the betting markets to find you the best value ahead of the 2024/25 season.

How did Tottenham perform in 2023-24?

Spurs got off to a near perfect start under former Australia manager Postecoglou. His side were unbeaten for their first 11 league matches before a dip in form around Christmas preceded a tougher second half of the campaign.

Tottenham's season post-December was riddled by inconsistency and ultimately saw them come up short in their pursuit of Champions League football. Nevertheless, Spurs had no doubt shown positive signs in their first term under the Australian, who had to deal with the departure of captain and talisman Harry Kane to Bayern Munich in his first few weeks on the job.

Kane's former partner and new club captain Heung-Min Son stepped up to the plate, finishing the season with 17 goals to his name. The South Korean also had the joint most assists with the club, tied with midfielder Brennan Johnson on 10.

What our Tottenham expert says

Mitch Fretton (Mitch_Fretton): The mood across the Lilywhite section of north London is very mixed heading into the new Premier League season.

Tottenham have now had over a year with Ange Postecoglou at the helm and while there has been significant progress on the pitch, the efforts off it to try improve the squad this summer have so far been underwhelming.

Every season we go without silverware causes increased tensions and expectation to challenge in the other competitions but it is important to try and look beyond that and recognise what the manager is building at Spurs.

Attacking football is back in N17 and if work can be done to bring in a striker and winger before the transfer window closes, there is no reason why the club cannot improve upon their fifth-placed finish from last term and challenge on every front.

Champions League football is always the benchmark for Daniel Levy, but I do not think that is what our Australian head coach is aiming for.

He wants to win, even if it might appear unrealistic right now.

On our day, we can beat any team in the Premier League and turning those excellent performances out consistently will be the difference between finishing near the top of the table and battling for a top-four spot.

Realistically, can we win the league this season? I highly doubt it. But there is no reason why we cannot emulate the highs of the Mauricio Pochettino era under Ange, especially if we can stay injury-free.

The Europa League may be our best chance of lifting a trophy this season and while it may take a massive effort to progress in the cup competitions, I fully expect this Tottenham side to push on in 2024-25.

What to expect from Tottenham in 2024-25

Promising signs were certainly present in Postecoglou's first season in charge. The Australian has got the team playing an attacking style of play which had been absent from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium since Mauricio Pochettino's departure at the back end of 2019.

The key word upon which Tottenham's 2024-25 fortunes hang is consistency. Are they capable of maintaining a run of form which will see them break into the top four or will they continue to meander in-and-around the European places without ever mounting a serious threat to the sides above them?

The signing of striker Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth, for £65 million, will certainly boost their chances of achieving the former. The 26-year-old netted an impressive 21 goals for the Cherries last season and finally sees Spurs replace former captain Harry Kane, who departed for Bayern Munich last summer. 

Solanke's goals could be the difference between another near-miss and Spurs finding themselves in the top four come May. We think it will be the latter.
