Tottenham v Manchester City Betting Tips – Premier League 14th April 7.45pm

Man City couldn’t close out on the league title last weekend as they threw away a two-goal lead to lose at home against Manchester United. Now they have to wait a little bit longer to get their hands on the trophy. Spurs will be amped up to try and inflict a defeat on Man City and the in-form Lilywhites will be well rested ahead of this, whereas Man City had to go through their extra midweek Champions League work. Will City lose back to back league games?

Tottenham News and Form

Tottenham have been going along at a great click lately, having put together a six-match winning streak in the top flight. They are scoring freely and have Harry Kane back fit again. Spurs have scored at least two goals in each of their last four league games. There have been a few mistakes at the back, notably from keeper Hugo Lloris lately and Spurs are without a clean sheet in their last three. Both teams to score at 8/15 odds with bet365* (Betting Odds taken at 3:50 p.m. on April 10th, 2018) looks like a viable option for this. Tottenham are in great form at Wembley, unbeaten in their last fourteen there and having won their last four home games. Each of those four wins came with a clean sheet as well. But this is Man City visiting so in the bet365 correct score market at Tottenham 2-1 option is a good solid 10/1 poke* (Betting Odds taken at 3:50 p.m. on April 10th, 2018). Can Spurs cause more frustration to Man City’s end of the season? They certainly have the home form to do so.

Manchester City News and Form

It is all falling apart for City at the moment. Their home loss against Manchester United last weekend in the league, their chance to win the league title was sandwiched in between the two Champions League quarter-final legs against Liverpool. The Citizens lost both of those as well. So now they have to wait for their league title. They just haven’t looked quite as sharp in the final third but are carrying league away form with a W13 D2 L1 for the season. City have won their last three away from the Etihad with them having scored at least two goals in each of those wins and conceding just the one goal in total. The Citizens have come up with 37 goals in their 16 away games so far this term and they have shipped just the eleven. They have netted in each of their last five on the road. In the two defeats that they have suffered away from home in the Premier League, their victors needed at least three goals to topple them. That’s three straight defeats in all competitions now for them and the shine is coming off. Can they respond in this one? Over 3.5 goals at bet365 is at 6/4 odds and worth a look. More than half of City’s away victories in the Premier League this season have been by a margin of at least two goals.
 

 

Tottenham v Manchester City Head to Head

There was a powerful 4-1 home win for City at the Etihad when the two met back in December. That win for City though snapped a four-match winless streak of form that they were on against Spurs (D1 L3). So Spurs are ahead in the recent head to head meetings and the Lilywhites, albeit at White Hart Lane, have won their last two home league fixtures against the Citizens. Six of the last nine have produced at least four goals.

Tottenham v Manchester City Predictions

Tottenham to win: Why not back the form team to win? Spurs are motoring along at the moment and they have the tools to get at City who have looked just a little bit rattled and jaded over the last week or so. This is a great chance for Spurs to prolong their wait for the league title a little more.
