Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Tottenham vs Manchester City

Tottenham

The Londoners have improved their results in the English Championship in recent matches and secured fifth position in the standings. Tottenham is unlikely to be able to compete for the Premier League title this season, but the team is quite capable of qualifying for the European Cup zone and specifically the Champions League.

The FA Cup can be called an important tournament for Spurs, because the club's fans have long dreamed of winning some kind of tournament. Tottenham were clearly unlucky with the draw at such an early stage, but, on the other hand, the meeting against Manchester City is a unique chance to knock out the current Cup holder and direct competitor.

Manchester City

Manchester City survived the crisis at the end of last year and returned to winning ways, winning six matches in a row in all competitions. The team won the Club World Cup, moved to second position in the English Championship and again shows a very strong and solid game.

Even without their top scorer Erling Haaland, the Citizens are showing excellent performance and will try to score as many goals as possible in the new match. In recent years, Manchester City has not been playing well against Tottenham and a new meeting will be a good chance for Pep Guardiola's men to improve their statistics.

Game Totals Prediction

This will be the main match of the 1/16 finals of the FA Cup, in which top British clubs with ambitions to win this tournament will compete in a head-to-head battle. Tottenham have been playing quite successfully in matches against Manchester City in recent years, but still it is the Citizens who are the favorites of the future confrontation. The current Cup holders will come to London solely for a positive result, but the home team will also have their own claims to victory. An interesting choice seems to be the bet on total over (3.5) for 2.17.
