Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Odds
Manchester City to win
Breezing past Wolverhampton Wanderers 4-0 in their opening game of the season, Pep Guardiola’s City hit the ground running at Molineux.
Returning to the Etihad Stadium for their first home outing of the new campaign, City will be looking to put a marker down against Thomas Frank’s Spurs.
Tottenham also made a bright start to the Premier League season with a 3-0 win over newly-promoted Burnley but a much sterner test awaits on Saturday.
City earned a 1-0 win in north London in the last meeting between these sides in February and Guardiola’s team might just be able to edge out another narrow victory in Manchester.
Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Stats
- Man City earned a 1-0 win away at Tottenham in the last meeting between these sides
- Under 2.5 total goals has occurred in two of the last three league encounters between these teams
- Erling Haaland has scored three goals in his last three Premier League games against Tottenham
Under 2.5 total goals
After City edged to a narrow victory against Spurs on the road in the last meeting earlier this year, another cagey affair might well be on the cards this Saturday lunchtime.
Premier League matches between these sides have more often than not been tight encounters in recent years, with two of the last three featuring under 2.5 total goals.
With Spurs failing to score in two of their last three league games against City, another low-scoring game could be in the offing on Saturday.
Erling Haaland anytime goalscorer
Scoring the decisive goal in the 1-0 victory for City in their last meeting with Tottenham in the capital, Erling Haaland can score another crucial goal on Saturday.
The Norwegian has enjoyed a bright start to the season, with the Golden Boot favourite finding the back of the net twice in the opening win against Wolves last weekend.
Haaland has fond memories of playing Spurs, having also bagged a brace in their Premier League meeting at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in May 2024.
With three goals in his last three encounters with the Lilywhites, Haaland to score anytime on Saturday completes this Bet Builder that comes in at attractive odds of 15/2.
