Manchester City - Tottenham Hotspur predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.53 bring great value considering the fact that Manchester City are indeed firm favourites to defeat Tottenham Hotspur.

The current perspective makes the situation clear. Given the superiority of The Sky Blues and the fact that Tottenham are given 5.91 odds to win, it is easy to conclude that anything but a home win would be an unexpected shock.

The Sky Blues were the favourites to win their most recent Premier League match despite playing as visitors. They took the lead in the first half, which was in line with the 4.42 betting odds for their victory. They ended up falling behind in the second half, though, which cost them the 3 points.

With an unexpected defeat at home behind them, Spurs gave a lot to prove in this match. They were considered the clear favourites in that bout against Ipswich Town, and the disappointment was only made greater by the fact that they were already behind at the 45-minute mark.

The fact that they’re playing at Etihad Stadium is a boost to Manchester City. They’ve thrived in their recent home games, managing to score more than 5 times over the previous

The visitors will likely miss the support of having a home-field advantage. Their latest 3 home games were marked by more than 5 goals in total and it remains to be seen what they can do to extend the positive trend away from home as well.

If they stay in their current table spot, the home team will be looking at a Champions League qualification. There’s plenty more action left in the season, though, and the leading spot looks well within grasp considering the favourable matchup they’re going into.

Though they’re in the upper part of the Premier League table, Spurs are heading into dire straits on this Saturday. Moreover, we’re only at round 12 of this season’s competition. On the bright side, this also means that they have more than enough time to earn the 3 points needed for a Europa qualification, even if they lose this match.

These two squads already clashed this season, and The Citizens narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Matheus Nunes, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Aké, Phil Foden, Jeremy Doku for the hosts, and Richarlison, Pape Sarr, Wilson Odobert for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1.54 odds offer a decent return.
