Tottenham Hotspur are fighting relegation in the Premier League with just a few games left, yet their away form ranks among the top five in England. At home, however, the story is dramatically different. Despite boasting a squad value of €802.5 million—making them the ninth most valuable team in the world—the North London club have one of the weakest home records in European football. Transfermarkt examines the worst home-performing sides across the top leagues, including a Bundesliga club.
The poorest home teams come from Serie A: Hellas Verona and Pisa Sporting Club. Verona average just 0.44 points per home game, while Pisa are only slightly better at 0.56. Unlike Tottenham, their home form reflects their overall league standing—both are already relegated.
VfL Wolfsburg are next on the list from the Bundesliga, with 0.59 points per home match and bottom of Germany’s home table. However, thanks to a stronger away record, Wolfsburg head into the final matchday level on points with St. Pauli and FC Heidenheim in the relegation playoff battle, holding a better goal difference. They travel to Millerntor on Saturday, while in-form Heidenheim host Mainz 05.
Among Europe’s top five leagues, French side FC Metz share the same home points average as Wolfsburg (0.59). They are followed by three Premier League teams: Tottenham, Burnley, and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Burnley and Wolves average 0.67 and 0.72 points per home game respectively, and both are already relegated. Tottenham, with 38 points, sit two points above 18th-placed West Ham United and rely on their away form—fifth in the Premier League away table with 26 points, a positive goal difference, and an average of 1.4 points per game.
Celta Vigo show an even greater home-away disparity. At Balaídos they have taken 20 points from 17 home games, but on the road they are third in Spain’s away table with 30 points, helping them reach fifth overall in LaLiga.
No other team in Europe wastes such a valuable squad as inefficiently as Tottenham. With a market value of €802.5 million and poor points returns, the club have already used three managers this season, with Roberto De Zerbi now tasked with securing top-flight survival. They exited domestic cups early and lost in the Champions League round of 16 to Atlético Madrid. Last season, their home league form was also poor (38 points, 17th), but winning the Europa League provided a consolation and a Champions League spot. This season, the decline has continued, with relegation a real threat. An average of 60,000 fans still attend home matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. On the final matchday, they host Everton—a team with the sixth-best away record in the league—in a game that could decide their fate.
