For the next week in-a-row, we’re beating treated to a tasty top six showdown — this time between Manchester City and Spurs.
Of course, it will take some doing for this particular fixture to eclipse that sensationally drama-filled, VAR-infused Champions League match back in April, culminating in the great Pep Guardiola, shrouded in his favorite Herno hooded cardigan, crumpling to the floor following the video referee defeated his oil-money-driven European dreams.
But as is daily life, we proceed for a different season. The last couple of league fixtures between these two finished 1-0 in City’s favour, however I am backing a home success but with both teams scoring this Saturday.??
Despite demolishing West Ham a week, I’d see a little rustiness in the trunk for City, evidenced by West Ham’s rather hefty xG of 1.34. Of course we are only 1 game profound, but that’ll serve as reinforcement for Mauricio Pochettino.
Looking at Spurs’ openerthey certainly made hard work of the 3-1 win against Aston Villa, but it is impossible to begrudge them all the success, and with Tanguy Ndombele’s coming into Spurs midfield, they look a lot more balanced, particularly with the Frenchman’s forays forward in the middle of the park increasing fluidity.
Spurs have scored in seven of their last nine visits on the Etihad–although also losing seven–and for that reason I am glad backing this tip in 7/4.
For the very first goal, my next tip is at evens to be performed between 0-24 moments.
We have seen a target within the first 15 minutes of their last four fittings between City and Spurs, and also a fast start could once again be on the cards in this one.
Last week, City scored 19 times in the first 15 minutes of Premier League matches and a further 14 involving 16-30 minutes; it’s always wise to expect early targets in the Guardiola side.
