Tottenham is having another pretty average season. A year ago, there was optimism about their future. Despite some significant changes to the team, they still managed to finish fifth in the EPL. It looked like in his second year in charge, Ange Postecoglou would make progress, so we thought we'd see Spurs fighting for a place in the Champions League zone, but we're seeing the opposite. They drew 1:0 with Leicester in the first leg, and in the eight subsequent meetings, they've won and lost four times each. That puts them in eighth place in the standings, with the top four already gone farther. In the last round of the English League Cup, the Spurs beat Coventry City 2:1.
Manchester City
Manchester City is the first team to win the English championship four times in a row. Of course, they aren't planning to stop there. They've been on a roll this season with some great results. They drew with Arsenal and Newcastle in the second half of September – 2:2 and 1:1 – but won the remaining six games. Meanwhile, their prominent rivals have also had disappointing results, so we're seeing MC back at the top of the Premier League standings. In the last round of the English League Cup, Manchester City had a tough match against Watford but came out on top with a 2:1 victory.
Expert Betting Tips
Manchester City had a tough time when they played Tottenham in London. In five consecutive H2H games, the Citizens have always come up short and failed to score a single goal. And yet, in 2024, the team managed to end the losing streak. First, they secured the win in round 32 of the FA Cup at 1:0, then went on to win the championship match at 2:0. Now, the hosts are closer to success. They won eight times in the last nine away games and drew one.
It's difficult to say what the London crowd has done to Tottenham and Manchester City, but they consistently deliver pragmatic and close matches in the capital. However, they always put on a good show at the Etihad and make for an enjoyable game. Unfortunately, the next match is going to happen in London. In the last eight games between these two teams, only 11 goals were scored (1.38 per game on average). This is much lower than one would normally expect in English football. In fact, in all eight games, no goals were scored, and the bookmakers had a low rating for the game.
