It has been a long wait for the 2021/22 Premier League season. What better way to start the season than this exciting fixture between 2 top teams?
Tottenham: It is not out of context that most bookmakers would consider Tottenham underdogs. The facts are there, and they don’t lie. Tottenham finished 9th in the last Premier League season, making them out of the Champions League and Europa League. With their abysmal performance last season, it is not surprising that most bookies don’t see them winning against Man City. Not to mention that they are heading into the new season with a new manager, Nuno Santos.
Manchester City: The Citizens lifted the Premier League trophy and came close to lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy for the first time in history the last term. Under Pep Guardiola, they had a dominating run for most of last season, which is a testament to their top form. With the recent signing of Aston Villa’s leading man in Jack Grealish, it seems likely that Manchester City is coming in stronger this season.
Spurs have made 3 additions, with Bryan Gil, Pierluigi Gollini, and Cristian Romero joining the fray. Upfront, they remain linked with a move for Lautaro Martinez from Inter.
On the other hand, Manchester City shook the transfer window with their €117.5M signing of Jack Grealish, the highest-priced British signing ever. With Jack Grealish added to Manchester City’s already indomitable midfield, their midfield would be as strong and fluid as ever. Elsewhere, the reigning champions also announced John Stones’ contract extension for another 5 years after a brilliant past 12 months.
Between 2020 and 2021, both teams met 4 times. In their last 4 meetings, Tottenham won on 2 occasions, while Manchester City won equally on 2 occasions. This record, it proves that both teams are constantly at loggerheads with each other.
The Premier League game between Tottenham and Manchester City will kick off on Wednesday, 15th of August, 2021.
Time: 15:30 UTC
Venue: The game will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London, England.
TV: The match will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK.

In their last meeting in the previous Premier League season, Man City won by a close margin. Both teams have a way of locking their midfield and defence when they are up against each other, with only a handful of goals. We expect that to happen with this match, especially since Tottenham has a lower tendency to concede goals when playing at home. Manchester City is favored to win, with most likely a one-goal margin. The odds for Tottenham to beat Man City is slim, and it would come as a rather wild tip prediction.
Prediction: Tottenham City 0-1 Manchester City (6/1)
Soccer bookies place Manchester City as favourites, and the reason is not so farfetched. As you go about betting, here are some likely pointers regarding Tottenham Man City odds.
Given their last matches against each other, goals are always scarce when these 2 meet up. It will likely replicate here as there is a chance there won’t be a downpour of goals. To be safe, under 3.5 seems like a viable option.
If you are quite sceptical about Man City winning full-time, especially because they have lost at both meetings at Tottenham Stadium, then you can opt for this option. Tottenham vs Man City odds can prove difficult to predict, so it could be wise to play it somewhat ‘safe.’ It could also come as a good tip to consider for an in-play bet.
