Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”4141″ ]

Following the latest international break, Premier League action resumes at Etihad Stadium on Saturday as Manchester City (7-2-2, 23 points) hosts Tottenham Hotspur (5-1-5, 15 points). Kickoff from the United Kingdom is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s soccer odds around the Manchester City vs. Spurs odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Despite a 4-match losing streak across all competitions (including a 2-1 EPL loss at Brighton & Hove Albion on Nov. 9), Man City remains in second place on the Premier League table. The Sky Blues have endured a rough start to the campaign: Ballon d’Or winner Rodri is out for the season with an ACL injury, and all-world midfielder Kevin de Bruyne is slowly regaining form after a near-2-month absence.

However, the club still has several injury concerns, though Phil Foden, who missed England’s recent Nations League match, is expected to suit up. winger Jeremy Doku, midfielder Matheus Nunes, and centerback Ruben Dias remain questionable.

The 10th-place Spurs look to stop their own losing streak at 2 matches; their last defeat came at home 2-1 to Ipswich before the break. Tottenham looks to repeat their 2-1 victory over City a few weeks ago in the EFL Cup, and Ange Postecoglou‘s club sits just 3 points out of third place despite their midrange table slot.

Spurs will not have center midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur for this one due to a 7-match suspension over his recent comments about about teammate and South Korean star Son Heung-min. Richarlison (hamstring) highlights a group of key injured players likely ruled out.

Man City vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

Man City 3,  Tottenham Hotspur 1

Moneyline (ML)

Tottenham has the team makeup to defeat the Blues, especially since Son  typically is a thorn in their side on the scoring front.

However, coming off a rest period that should help some top players, City doesn’t usually get a value bet for a win much better than this, so take advantage.

BET MANCHESTER CITY (-200).

Over/Under (O/U)

City should rediscover its offensive push with a better-rested de Bruyne, who skipped recent Nations League action for Belgium.

The juice on the Over has climbed all week.

It’s, of course, justified: The Blues lead top-flight English football with a dominant 2.18 expected goals for per match (xGF), while Spurs rank second with 1.86.

Tottenham sits in third with 3.27 goals scored per match; City is tied for fourth (3.18).

BET OVER 3.5 (-130).

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester City (12 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws) welcomes Tottenham Hotspur (10-6-3) to Etihad Stadium Thursday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

The home side could be without star M Kevin De Bruyne, who missed training Tuesday. City, which sits 2nd in the league, 8 points behind Arsenal,  is just 2-1-1 in their last 4 matches. They lost to Manchester United 2-1 last weekend. City is 7-1-1 on the season at home. F Erling Haaland is having a magical season with 21 goals in 16 starts.

Tottenham, who could be without M Rodrigo Bentancur, lost to Arsenal last weekend 2-0 at home and having fewer expected, 1.6 compared to their opponent’s 1.6. Tottenham is just 4-2-3 on the road this season. They are led by F Harry Kane, who has 15 goals in 19 starts.

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Tottenham Hotspur 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

I wouldn’t play City here, on the money line or spread. They are 0-1-1 at home in their last 2 home games, and that is enough uncertainty to avoid betting them at (-270).

Tottenham, also coming off a loss and having not played overly well away from home, doesn’t deserve any sprinkle at (+700).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+140).

While City hasn’t played overly well of late, they have scored 3 or more goals in 6 of 9 home games this season. They have scored 2 goals in their last 2 home games, but have 3.3 expected goals, and against a poor Tottenham defense, the goals should come in bunches.

Tottenham allows 1.42 goals per game. They also have an elite attack, averaging 1.95 goals per game. They have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of 9 road matches, so the Kane-led attack can still score on the road.

Couple both teams’ season-long trends in this position, and back the OVER 3.5 (+140).
