An encounter between Manchester City and Tottenham will be the central match of the EPL’s 22nd round. Two teams, fighting for a place in Champions League will meet. Bookmakers set the odds in favor of the Eagles in the clash, but one should not forget, that the Spurs are currently in a great shape, besides, Pochettino’s team can play very well in away matches.
Man City lost twice recently and what is more, to direct competitors. On New Year’s Eve, the Eagles were weaker, than Liverpool away, losing to the Pelicans with the score of 0:1, and after that, again in Liverpool, but this time at Goodison, Guardiola’s team lost to Everton with the score of 0:4. Man City currently have 42 points in the asset and the 5th place in EPL’s tournament table.
Tottenham did not concede a single goal in the last three matches. The Spurs have already forgotten, whey they last lost. They had only victories in the last five matches: against Southampton, Watford, Chelsea, Aston Villa and West Bromwich. Tottenham have had 10 away matches in 2016-17 EPL season, in which they had four victories with four draws and two defeats. Eighteen goals were scored and only nine conceded. There is a feeling, that bookmakers underestimate the Spurs in the upcoming game.
Manchester City will try to make it up to their supporters for the last defeat against Everton with a domestic win over Totenham, but it will be very hard to do, as the Spurs are in a great shape right now. Besides, Manchester City have become a very convenient opponent for Tottenham recently, which is clearly seen in their personal encounters statistics.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham not to lose.
