Tottenham Hotspur vs Man City prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

Spurs will be looking to continue their bogey-team status over Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City as the two sides meet this weekend in the Premier League

Tottenham approach this match just outside the league’s elite, with their season marked by a shift from last year’s frenetic, high-tempo style to a more controlled and structured approach. Under Thomas Frank, Spurs have adopted a more deliberate tactical setup, focusing on organized build-up play and managing transitions, rather than relying on unpredictability.

However, their league form has been disappointing, as the North London side are now winless in their last five Premier League fixtures. While they have shown a different side in European competition, their domestic struggles persist, with just one win in their last eight league matches—casting doubt on whether their European performances will translate to the Premier League anytime soon.

Manchester City remain one of the league’s strongest teams in the Premier League despite some clouds of doubt over potentially winning the title this season. Despite a run of three straight 1-1 draws in January, City’s season-long expected goals (xG) stats are impressive: 1.68 xG for per match (1.90 at home, 1.43 away) and 1.10 xG against (0.97 at home, 1.24 away). This highlights their ability to consistently create high-quality chances while maintaining defensive solidity. City come into this clash off the back of two consecutive victories, making it four wins from their last six games in all competitions, so momentum is certainly on their side.

Both teams have been vulnerable defensively: Tottenham have seen both teams score in five of their last seven matches, while City have conceded at least once in eight of their last eleven away games. This makes “both teams to score” an appealing option for this fixture. Nevertheless, given Spurs’ poor league form, Manchester City are clear favourites, and we expect Pep Guardiola’s side to return from North London with all three points.
