We should probably anticipate a high-scoring encounter when Manchester City clash with Tottenham Hotspur this weekend. After all, Spurs don’t tend to comprise on their attacking approach under Ange Postecoglou and they will aim to put the champions on the back foot, even if it could end up being a high-risk strategy against such a well-oiled machine.
Pep Guardiola’s side are warm favourites to get three points from this contest and there should be a major attacking threat based on their game against Liverpool. The form of Jeremy Doku has been sublime since arriving in the summer, with Erling Haaland reaching fifty Premier League goals against the Reds and he’s ready for more here.
We think that the best betting approach could be to back Manchester City to win the game and both teams to find the net. Tottenham are unlikely to be too pragmatic and they have plenty of attacking verve as they have demonstrated all season. Heung-Min Son actually scored a disallowed hat-trick of goals against Aston Villa.
For those considering a Bet Builder, it’s hard to see Erling Haaland off the scoresheet, with Tottenham potentially racking up a few yellow cards based on the fact that there will be some last-ditch defending on show. From a correct score point-of-view, it could be worth looking at a 4-1 or a 5-1 winning scoreline in favour of City.
