Tottenham Hotspur vs Manchester City Predictions

• Both teams have scored in 11 of Tottenham’s last 13 matches
• Six of Manchester City’s last eight games have gone over 3.5 goals
• Three of the last four meetings between these sides have seen both teams score and the ball hit the net on at least four occasions

Teams to trade blows in Tottenham

Tottenham will be keen to end their 16-year wait for a trophy this term, but will have to overcome reigning FA Cup champions Manchester City if they are to do so.

That will be no easy task, with the Citizens on a six-match winning run, but Spurs have been City’s bogey team in recent years and have actually won five of the last nine meetings between the pair.

Tottenham are on a run of four consecutive home wins and held Pep Guardiola’s side to a 3-3 draw earlier in the season, but you cannot rule out the treble winners and backing both teams to score may be a safer avenue to explore.

That bet has landed in 11 of Spurs’ last 13 matches, City’s last four away games and in three of the last four meetings between the sides – suggesting two of the most exciting teams in England should both get on the scoresheet in north London on Friday night.

Guardiola and Postecoglou primed to entertain

With Ange Postecoglou in one dugout and Guardiola in the other, goals should always be expected.

The Premier League meeting between the two earlier in the campaign saw their sides share the points in a six-goal thriller and a similarly high-scoring encounter should be expected once more.

Three of the last four meetings between the sides have seen the ball hit the net on four or more occasions and, with City’s deadly duo of Kevin De Bruyne and Erling Haaland set to feature together for the first time in months, backing over 2.5 goals looks a sensible play in this fixture.
