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).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Tottenham (10 wins, 5 losses, 3 draws) battles Arsenal (14-1-2) Sunday. Kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal has been the best team in the EPL this season, and it hasn’t been particularly close. They received a nice gift with Man United’s 2-1 win over 2nd-place Man City Saturday as well. Arsenal has scored 40 goals and allowed 14 in 17 matches. They are led in scoring by F Martinelli and M Martin Odegaard, both of which have a team-high 7 goals.

Tottenham is led by F Harry Kane, who has 15 goals in the year. They have been rock solid at home, posting a 6-0-3 record. The Hotspur attack is lethal with 37 goals in 18 games, having allowed 25. They are just 1-1-1 over their last 3 league matches.

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Tottenham Hotspur 2

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN DRAW (+260).

Tottenham has yet to lose at home this season, and it will have enough pace to push the Arsenal backline. The Kane-led side have 3 home draws as well. Arsenal will also be down F Gabriel Jesus, who has been a star for them this season.

Arsenal is 1-1-1 this season against top-5 EPL sides. They beat Tottenham 3-1 earlier in the season at home, but Arsenal had just 0.8 more expected goals.

Now on the road and considering Tottenham’s dominance at home, back a DRAW (+260) but only for a small unit considering the value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-130).

Arsenal has gone Over this total in 2 of its last 3 EPL matches. It is also 2-1 O/U this total against top-5 EPL sides, and it is playing one of the best offenses in the league.

Tottenham has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 league matches with all 3 of those games going Over even 3.5 total goals. They have arguably the best-finishing forward in the league in Kane coupled with one of the best dribbles in F Son Heung-min.

That has been a recipe for offensive success. Couple that with their defense allowing 1.39 goals per game, and against an Arsenal team that also has a lethal attack, back the OVER 2.5 (-130).

Manchester City vs. Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

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

In Saturday English Premier League action, Tottenham (11 wins, 8 losses, 3 draws) visits Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City (20-2-3). Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Manchester City vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Man City is coming into this game having already lost to Tottenham earlier this season. Man City lost 1-0 as Tottenham sat back in defense and countered at the perfect time late in the match. Since then, Man City has been invincible, winning 20 of 24 games with 1 loss and 3 draws.

Man City is coming off a 5-0 victory over Sporting CP Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. Man City defeated Norwich City 4-0 Feb. 12 and beat Brentford 2-0 Feb. 9. Unfortunately, M Jack Grealish and F Gabriel Jesus are both doubtful for Saturday’s tilt.

As for Tottenham, since quenching the transfer rumors of star F Harry Kane, the Spurs have struggled to maintain last season’s success with Kane and F Son Heung-min leading the attack.

Both are likely to start against Man City though. Tottenham has lost 3 straight EPL games, including being shut out twice and 3-2 loss to Southampton. Most recently, the Spurs were defeated 2-0 Sunday by Wolverhampton.

Prediction

Manchester City 2, Tottenham 0

Money line (ML)

Man City’s money line is too expensive to play. It should come out on top, but at -350, it’s a PASS.

A more reasonable way to back Man City is by betting NO (-135): BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE.

Tottenham has scored just twice its last 3 EPL games, both goals coming against 10th-place Southampton. Tottenham didn’t score against the Wolves, who have allowed 17 goals this season, or Chelsea, who has allowed 18 goals.

Man City leads the EPL, having allowed just 14 goals in 25 matches.

Man City’s defense has won the team games, and that should be the case again Saturday.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+140).

This is my favorite bet in the match, especially for the value we’re getting.

Why? Well, Tottenham knows how to play Man City. It beat Man City 1-0 to start the season, and it did so by packing the box and limiting Man City’s opportunities.

While it should be difficult for Tottenham to score, Man City ranks tied for the 7th-fewest goals in the EPL, having given up 29 in 22 matches. The Man City attack is elite, but without Jesus or Grealish, it could become less dynamic.

Man City has gone Over 2.5 goals in just 1 of its last 4 games.

Everton vs. Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Everton vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Tottenham (5 wins, 5 losses, 0 draws) heads to Goodison Park to take on Everton (4-4-2) Sunday. The match is scheduled to kick off at 9 a.m. ET. Below, we preview the Everton vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

After starting the season with 3 wins in 4 matches, Everton has struggled to gain any traction, losing its last three after quality draw with Manchester United.

Everton is led by young F Dominic Calvert-Lewin and M Demarai Gray. Everton has 16 goals and has allowed 16 goals in 10 matches. It will be facing Tottenham, a club coming off a disappointing 3-0 loss to Man U last weekend.

With F Harry Kane, one of the most efficient forwards in the EPL having yet to hit his strike, Tottenham has also fallen after a start that included a 1-0 win over Man City.

Tottenham has 5 wins, yet has scored just 9 goals, allowing 16.

PLAY: Our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Everton 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to TOTTENHAM (+125) as Everton will be without one of its best players in Calvert-Lewin, a 24-year-old English forward who has provided great strength up top.

Tottenham should be able to control the middle and push with pace. It is too talented not to. With F Son Heung-min also expected to play, the Hotspurs should be able to get on the board multiple times.

After following out of the top seven with its loss to Man U, Tottenham needs to bounce back on the road. Against a defense that has been slacking most of the season, Tottenham should be able to get multiple on the board.

Being Kane and Heung-Min and with Everton short Calvert-Lewin, Tottenham should find a way to win.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+115) as the better side here. Both teams give up too many goals. Having each conceded 16 on the season, the Tottenham offense is clearly the one lacking, but the star power is there.

Its two stars combined for 40 last season as Tottenham finished averaging over 1.5 points per game. It is not quite at the same level despite having a relatively similar roster.

With Everton having depth and a more proven scoring attack that should be led by Gray and F Andros Townsend, who are tied with Calvert-Lewin with a team-high 3 goals.

It is down a key piece, but it should have enough talent to get on the board. Everton scored in four of its last five games.

Tottenham vs. Manchester United odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Saturday’s Tottenham vs. Manchester United odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In an action-packed EPL Saturday, Manchester United (4 wins, 3 losses, 2 draws) takes on Tottenham (5-4-0) at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview the Tottenham vs. Manchester United odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

There was hope in the Man U camp that it would cement itself as a top-five EPL side after acquiring superstar F Cristiano Ronaldo. That just hasn’t happened. United was thrashed 5-0 by Liverpool last weekend and has lost three of its last four games while looking completely lost defensively, giving up 9 goals across its last two fixtures.

Tottenham kicked the season off with a win over Man City and was expected to continue to surge. The Hotspurs haven’t produced as expected despite F Harry Kane and F Son Heung-min being among the best forwards in the EPL. Tottenham has scored just 9 goals in nine games.

Despite scoring 7 fewer goals than Man U, Tottenham still sits one spot higher on the table, making this battle of the 6th and 7th placed teams a must-watch game.

PLAY: Our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Tottenham 2, Manchester United 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line with a slight lean to the home side.

Both teams have the capability of competing with the best of the best when they’re at their best; however, we’ve yet to consistently see that from either.

While Tottenham hasn’t looked great against top opponents, it has won two of its last three. That said, Man U has looked awful, and it will be without M Paul Pogba, arguably its best player in the middle.

I’d rather BET on BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-170). The Man U defense will be going against two top forwards in Kane and Son while Tottenham’s defense has also allowed more than a goal per game.

With Ronaldo up top and Man U having notched 16 goals in 9 games, I’d think they should get on the board with ease as well. I expect the offenses to dictate this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (-135) as for all the reasons above. United has looked great when it has the ball, but it’s tied with Leicester City for the worst defense of a top-12 side.

If Man U was showing some type of resilience then betting the other side could be smart, but its struggles have been against more than just Liverpool, and it’s allowed far too many goals as of late.

Also both of Tottenham’s top goal scorers haven’t produced like we’ve seen in past years. I expect that to change as the talent is there. Everything points to this being a high-scoring match.

Arsenal vs. Tottenham odds, expert picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Arsenal vs. Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

Following an action-packed Saturday, Tottenham (3 wins, 2 losses, 0 draws) visits Arsenal (2-3-0) in Sunday’s marquee match. The match will kick off at 11:30 a.m. ET at Emirates Stadium. Below, we preview the Arsenal vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

The joyous start to the season for Tottenham hasn’t quite continued. After winning a thriller against Man City, Tottenham has gone 2-2 in EPL play and is struggling to score.

Despite having elite forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min on the roster, the Hotspur have produced just 3 goals in five matches. Tottenham is coming off back-to-back 3-0 losses, the first of which it was awarded a red card against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal is regaining strength following an early-season COVID-19 outbreak and has been able to find some success. The Gunners have taken down Burnley and Norwich City.

PLAY: Our new free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Prediction

Arsenal 1, Tottenham 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+230) as neither side has shown much against top-tier talent and has taken care of business other than that. It’s hard to bet one of these two teams to win.

Arsenal is getting closer to full strength, but it beat two lower-level sides both 1-0. A more convincing win over Norwich would’ve padded the resume. Arsenal has scored two goals in five matches.

As for Tottenham, its win over Man City is a little misleading as it stuck nine in the box and often pushed in counterattacks. The Hotspur defended well and got one on the board, but it wasn’t quite the most telling performance.

Given that both sides look just below the top-tier clubs, I’m leaning to a draw.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-122) as the clear best bet in this match.

There’s no way around it. The numbers point clearly to Under 2.5. Arsenal has scored twice this season and Tottenham has just 3 goals.

The attackers are there, but both teams are lacking in the midfield, hurting the distribution to said strikers. Arsenal ranks seventh and Tottenham ranks 19thin shots. Both are among the bottom four in the league in goals scored.

Tottenham has given up six goals, with all of those coming in its last two matches. Arsenal has two straight clean sheets.

Tottenham vs. Chelsea odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Tottenham vs. Chelsea odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

In the most anticipated EPL match of the weekend, Chelsea (3 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) visit Tottenham (3-1-0). Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Below, we preview the Tottenham vs. Chelsea odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham’s 1-0 takedown of Manchester City has been the most impressive win of any EPL side this season, despite Chelsea entering the match as favorites.

The Hotspur’s sole loss was a 3-0 defeat against Crystal Palace, with all goals being scored after a Tottenham red card in the 58th minute. The loss sent them down the table to No. 7.

Chelsea entered the weekend tied for the top spot with Liverpool, Everton and Manchester United. They’re coming off a 3-0 defeat of Aston Villa and drew Liverpool 1-1 prior to that. The Blues are a dangerous side with a true No. 9 in F Romelu Lukaku.

Prediction

Chelsea 2, Tottenham 1

Money line (ML)

PASS on the money line.

Chelsea is the more talented side, especially with defensive specialists D César Azpilicueta and M Kante. However, on the road, this feels like a trap game.

Not discrediting Tottenham’s win over Man City, but that was their opponent’s first game with M Jack Grealish.

However, Tottenham has two of the most lethal attackers in the EPL with F Harry Kane and M Heung-min Son, both top goal scorers from a season ago. Son’s status for the game remains unconfirmed as he will be assessed prior to the match.

That’s why I’d bet BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE (-101).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the OVER 2.5 (+110) as Lukaku and Kane are possibly the two best forwards in the EPL. With 3 goals, Lukaku is tied for the third-most goals in league action at the time of writing.

While Chelsea has given up just one goal on the season, the only other great attacking side it’s played is Liverpool. They allowed a goal there, and Liverpool had several opportunities for more.

If Tottenham doesn’t load the penalty box and play back as they did with Man City, expect a match that tops 2 goals.

English Premier League: Watford at Tottenham odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Sunday’s Watford at Tottenham odds and lines, with EPL picks and predictions.

After most of the EPL kicked off Saturday, Watford (1 win, 1 loss, 0 draws) visit Tottenham (2-0-0) Sunday. The match is set to kickoff at 9 a.m. ET at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Below, we preview the Watford vs. Tottenham odds and lines, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Tottenham won each of its first two matches but was outshot in both. Wolverhampton more than tripled Tottenham’s attempts last week. Against Man City, Tottenham was also clearly the inferior side, but F Heung-Min Son and company have been able to get the results.

The Hotspur will take on an underrated Watford side. It defeated Aston Villa 3-2 to start the season then lost 2-0 to Brighton, a team that’s starting to turn a lot of heads in the EPL. Expect a better match than the odds predict.

Prediction

Tottenham 1, Watford 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to the DRAW (+360) as I wouldn’t mind putting half a unit to back Watford. While it doesn’t quite count for EPL action, Watford is coming off a 1-0 over Crystal Palace in the EFL Cup.

It defeated Villa and was beaten by Brighton only after being knocked behind by a 10th-minute goal via corner. Watford has a dangerous attack which could bode well for this being a high-scoring match, especially if Tottenham F Harry Kane makes a showing.

Regardless, Watford has played reasonably well to start the season while Tottenham was outplayed yet found a way to win in its last outing.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-105) as Tottenham won both of its matches by just 1 goal. Along those lines, Watford was held in check last weekend despite a combined 5 goals being scored in its opener.

Of the combined four games by the two teams, Over 2.5 hit only once. Kane is now committed to Tottenham, but it’s still unclear if he’ll play all 90 minutes Sunday.

The star is still rounding into form, and it wouldn’t be shocking if he gets a substitute appearance. Even if he gets all 90 minutes, I’d still expect Tottenham to score just one.

Last season, Manchester City won the English Premier League with Tottenham finishing seventh. The teams split their last two head-to-head EPL matches with Man City winning the most recent one 3-0.

With teams like Manchester United already having won, both teams will look to keep pace with high expectations for the season.

Prediction

Manchester City 2, Tottenham Hotspur 1

Money line (ML)

“LEAN” to MANCHESTER CITY (-150) as the best value on the money line.

F Raheem Sterling, M Kevin De Bruyne and the newcomer M Jack Grealish will all headline an absolutely stacked Man City roster. That’s not even to mention the solid defense.

Along with M Ilkay Gundogan coming off the best season of his career, Man City enters this season with the most talented roster in the EPL.

Despite the odds and being away from home, I’m going to bet on the road side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET on OVER 2.5 (-115) as Tottenham is also certainly capable of scoring.

While the Hotspur finished seventh last season, Tottenham was tied with Liverpool and Leicester City for the third-most goals in the league. F Harry Kane had the most goals in the league with 23 and F Heung-min Son tied for the fourth most with 17.

Both sides will be able to score at a high level, and that should produce good value for the Over 2.5.
