Tottenham vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (30 October)

To qualify for the round of 16 of this League Cup, Tottenham had all the trouble in the world to win at Coventry thanks to two goals scored at the very end of the game 1-2. Eager to find a place in the Big 4 of the Premier League this season, the London team got off to a sluggish start. Indeed, Spurs had a record of 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats before the October international break. They have since faced West Ham and Crystal Palace last weekend. In the Europa League , Tottenham won their first two matches in Qarabag and Ferencvaros before hosting AZ Alkmaar. Winner of this League Cup continuously from 2018 to 2021, the Mancunian team hopes to triumph again this season.

For their entry into the competition, City got the better of Watford 2-1 . Quadruple reigning English champions, the Skyblues are logically considered the big favorites in the Premier League. They got off to an excellent start, conceding no setbacks during the first 7 days, 5 wins and 2 draws. After the international break they faced two poorly ranked Wolverhampton and Southampton last weekend. In the Champions League, Manchester City started their campaign with 1 Inter draw and 1 Slovan Bratislava victory before hosting Sparta Prague.

For Tottenham, it is important to mention the absence of captain Son. He fills the ranks of the infirmary alongside the other attackers Odobert and Richarlison. On fire for several weeks, winger Johnson (3 goals in PL) has found the net in Spurs' last 6 matches played in all competitions. He should accompany summer recruit Solanke (2 goals and 1 assist in PL, 1 goal and 1 assist in C3). Scorer on the last day, playmaker Maddison (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) is available. Manchester City is obviously deprived of midfield captain Rodri, whose season is seriously compromised.

Also taking their place in the infirmary are the starting defender Aké and the young winger Bobb. Playmaker De Bruyne could return to the field after missing Belgium's rally during the break. Author of a double against Fulham, Croatian midfielder Kovacic perfectly replaces Rodri for the moment. Erling Haaland is clearly the top scorer in the championship with 10 goals.
