Everyone has their own Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions. Yet, most do not look at the recent form, team news, or stats to make an informed decision. Manchester City and Spurs both lost in their derbies at the weekend. Nonetheless, both teams need a win, for City to keep the pressure on Arsenal at the top, and for Spurs to finish in the top 4.
City are now 8 points behind Arsenal for the top spot and Spurs find themselves 5 points off the top four. Here at BetYep, I have brought all my expertise bringing you all the stats and latest team news and have even made some Manchester City vs Tottenham betting tips.
This match has the potential to be a classic, with the draw being no use to either side. In addition, as Haaland and Kane lead the goalscoring charts, I am expecting this match to have a lot of goals.
Key Takeaways:
- Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions are expecting this game to have many goals.
- Spurs did the double against Manchester City last season winning 1-0 at home and 3-2 away.
- Both teams have minimal injuries and have full squads to choose from.
- In head to head, Conte has won 3, Pep has won 2.
- In the last 5 Premier League games, both teams have the same form, 2 losses, 2 wins and 1 draw.
Manchester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur Team News
For Manchester City, the only injury concerns are in the defence. Ruben Dias is still struggling with a thigh problem, and John Stones is still out with a knock. Also Haaland, Foden and Mahrez provided very little against Man U, therefore I would like to see a different front line for the Cityzens against Spurs.
One player banging on the door is Grealish. After coming off the bench, he broke the deadlock in the 60th minute against the Red Devils, scoring with a header. Moreover, Pep has many attacking options he can use to mix up his tactics. He even has World Cup winner Alvarez at his disposal, who is an excellent alternative to Haaland.
Spurs welcomed back Richarlison and Kulusevski this weekend and have no new injuries to speak of. Therefore, Spurs will have plenty of firepower when they play City on Thursday. The bad news is that Bentancur still remains on the sidelines, but he should return by the end of the month.
Lloris had a stinker against Arsenal on Sunday, and I would replace him with Forster, but that’s up to Conte. It will be interesting to see how Spurs set up against City, as I expect Conte to park the bus and hit them on the counter attack. This will mean he will probably just play Kane and Son up top, rather than play three attacking players.
Manchester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur – The Stats
In the past six fixtures between these teams, surprisingly, Spurs have had the upper hand. Tottenham have won 4 with City winning two, and the last time we saw a draw between these two sides was back in 2019.
Interestingly, in the past six fixtures between City and Spurs, City have failed to score in three matches. Nevertheless, their recent addition of Haaland should make up for the lack of goals City have struggled with against Spurs.
Because of the importance of this game, I expect an end to end match, especially in the second half. The first half is where Manchester City have the upper hand, being the 3rd best team in the Premier League half time table.
On the other hand, Spurs lie in 14th, and have been a notoriously slow starter this season. Often Tottenham have been a team of two halves, coming strong towards the end of the match. So watch out for late goals in this fixture, as the last 10 minutes will be entertaining.
In addition, current form plays a crucial role in every Man city vs Tottenham Hotspurs betting tips and prediction, and both sides are struggling. In the past five matches Spurs and City have won 2, lost 2 and drawn once.
Manchester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur Betting Predictions
I have scoured the net for the best odds on Manchester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions. As both teams need a win I see there being plenty of goals in this match. Thus, the over 3.5 goals market at Coral looks like a good opportunity at 5/4.
Haaland has gone two games without a goal, which has never happened yet in his Manchester City career. Therefore at 9/5 with Ladbrokes backing him to be the first goalscorer is worth a punt. However, if Spurs are to score first, which they did last season in the fourth minute, Kane is fairly priced at 6/1 with Willaim Hill.
In my match predictions of Manchester City Vs Spurs I do expect City to win this match, but it will not be easy, especially with Spur’s record at the Etihad. If you fancy bigger odds, a bet on 3-2 to Man City, is 22/1 with Ladbrokes.
Then again, if Spurs do pull it off, it will be a low scoring game, something like 1-0, just like last season at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Coral offers 25/1 on this result, making it worth a shout if Conte can outwit Pep tactically. Also, bear in mind that Conte has beaten Pep 3 times in 5 matches.
There you have it, what do you think? Whatever happens, my Manchester City Vs Tottenham Hotspur predictions look at all the important information, taking into account statistics and previous meetings.
