Tottenham v Manchester City Betting Tips [14 May 2024]

Tottenham will be looking to keep their Champions league hopes alive when they welcome Manchester City in their next Premier League game. City head into this game topping the standings while Spurs are fifth, and both sides have all to play for here. Tottenham returned to winning ways with a2-1 win over Burnley, ending a run of four straight defeats. For the fifth straight game, Spurs conceded first, but this time they turned it around. A late goal from Mickey van de Ven completed the turnaround after Pedro Porro’s equalizer. This win took them to 63 points, just four behind the top four with two matches to play. While it remains slim, Spurs have a chance at upsetting Aston Villa’s top four hopes. To do that, they must win both their remaining matches. A win in their next game has far-reaching consequences, not just on their top-four hopes. Spurs won each of their last five home matches against Manchester City, and this should give them hope. The one major concern for Spurs, however, is that they have no clean sheet in the last nine matches. They will also have the underdogs’ feel here, having lost four straight games against top opposition. In all those defeats, they conceded two or more goals.

Manchester City returned to the top of the league standings last time out, with a 4-0 win over Fulham. After their 1-0 win over Spurs in the reverse fixture, they’ll be here seeking a double. City are two wins away from their 10th Premier League title and will feel this is a key game towards that quest. With second placed Arsenal playing on Sunday, City could find themselves second by the time they take to the pitch. They are however safe as long as they win their remaining two games. To this game, they carry five straight wins since their elimination from the Champions League. In those five wins, they conceded just one goal and scored 16. Manchester City are unbeaten in 21 league matches; the last time they lost a league game was in December 2012. The only teams that have stopped them from winning in this period were Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Crystal Palace. To this game, they carry a seven-game winning run in the league and they scored four or more in six. With this run of form, City will be confident of ending their bad run at Tottenham.

Our prediction for Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City is for the game to have over 2.5 goals. These two sides have been in high-scoring games in recent matches. With the stakes coming into this game so high, we don’t expect a change in that. We will still see both teams trying to win this game which is also known for high scores in previous meetings.
