Betting on Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s team is currently in second place in the English league at the halfway point of the season. So far, City has 12 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats. One of these losses came on the last matchday, during the Manchester derby.
When Jack Grealish headed the ball into David De Gea’s goal after receiving a beautiful cross from Kevin de Bruyne in the 60th minute, the Sky Blues took the lead in the game. However, 18 minutes later, the nightmare would begin.
The Red Devils got the ball, and Bruno Fernandez took advantage of a through ball to score the equalizer. Despite this brilliant play, the City players protested an apparent offside. Four minutes after this surprise for the Citizens, Marcus Rashford gave the home team the lead.
That’s the reason Guardiola’s team faces a monumental challenge in this new game between Manchester City vs Tottenham: they must win to keep pace with Arsenal, who are currently leading the Premier League – they are eight points behind them. The role that Erling Haaland can play in this game will be key and needs to improve, as he was absent and tentative against United.
Possible Manchester City lineup (4-3-3): Ederson; Kyle Walker, Manuel Akanji, Nathan Aké, João Cancelo; Rodri, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Erling Haaland, Phil Foden.
Betting on Tottenham Hotspur
In their most recent match, Tottemham lost 2-0 to Arsenal, leaders and current favorites to win the English championship. Despite possession and consecutive attempts from the Harry Kane-led attack, they were unable to score.
The Reds were in the lead as of the 14th minute, after Hugo Lloris failed to block a shot from Saka. In the 36th minute, Martin Odegaard’s well-placed shot from outside the box rattled the Frenchman’s goal for the second time. In this way, the Gunners demonstrated why they are leaders of the Premier League.
After this result, the team led by Antonio Conte is in fifth place in the Premier League with 33 points from 10 wins and 3 draws. For this Manchester City vs Tottenham match, it is expected that the visiting team will obtain the points they need in order to keep pursuing a spot in the UEFA Champions League’s upcoming season.
Possible Tottenham lineup (3-4-3): Hugo Lloris; Cristian Romero, Clement Lenglet, Eric Dier; Matt Doherty, Pierre Hojbjerg, Pape Sarr, Ryan Sessegnon; Dejan Kulusevski, Harry Kane, Heung Min Son.
JefeBet Prediction
In view of its latest results, we believe that it will be the home team that takes the victory in this Manchester City vs Tottenham match. Even though Guardiola’s team is in a favorable position in the competition, they cannot relax at this point because if Arsenal increases their lead, it would make it more difficult for them to finish first this season.
For his part, Erling Haaland has the potential to be a nightmare for Harry Kane’s team if he takes advantage of the tools provided by a player like Kevin De Bruyne.
Prediction: Manchester City win 2-1.
