Today’s Premier League match between Manchester City and Tottenham will feature both teams looking to bounce back from derby losses the previous weekend.
City lost 2-1 to Manchester United, falling eight points behind leaders Arsenal after their 2-0 victory against Spurs.
Spurs are currently in fifth place, but they are only five points behind the leaders in the race for a top-four finish. However, they will find it difficult to score at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City will get back to winning ways.
Spurs defeated City twice last season, including a thrilling 3-2 victory in the comparable match in February, but they enter this match in bad shape and were outplayed for the most of their last match against Arsenal.
In contrast, despite dominating the game for long stretches at Old Trafford, City was struck by a late comeback and ultimately paid the price for not taking their chances early.
Manchester City will make amends for themselves.
After losing consecutive games for the first time this season, Guardiola’s team will be eager to make amends.
They should be able to rebound against a Spurs team that is devoid of both ideas and confidence.
Given that City are the favorite to win, the biggest wager in this game appears to be on the home team with a -1 handicap.

In all competitions, the Manchester team has only lost two of their home games this season, and seven of their past nine victories at the Etihad Stadium have been by two goals or more.
Furthermore, Spurs’ last three losses, which have all been by two-goal margins.
Mahrez to get on the score sheet
Riyad Mahrez seems like a good option for a scoring bet given that Erling Haaland has now gone three games without a goal for City.
The Algerian averages 1.6 shots per game across all competitions and has scored four goals in his last six appearances.
Conclusion
A home win and over 2.5 goals should be considered as a result of Spurs’ inability to score in their last three defeats, and a 3-1 victory for City is the possible score prediction given they have scored eight goals in three home games since the World Cup.
