  • Tottenham is a +1.5-goal home underdog against Man City.
  • Spurs captured a 3-3 draw in the reverse fixture against Man City.
  • History suggests the hosts are worth a flier on the moneyline.

Itโ€™s the match thatโ€™s likely to decide the Premier League title this season.ย 

Manchester City will play their game in hand at Tottenham, who are simultaneously chasing a Champions League spot. If City win, theyโ€™re likely to win the title.ย 

However, Tottenham have proved a bogey team for the Cityzens under Pep Guardiola. In their last five trips to face Tottenham, City is a dismal 1-4 SU.ย 

Hereโ€™s a look at the EPL odds and my prediction for Tuesdayโ€™s fixture.ย 

EPL Odds – Tottenham vs. Man City

  • Tottenham Moneyline: +550
  • Man City Moneyline: -250
  • Draw Moneyline: +450
  • Over/Under: 3.5 Goals (-145/+105)

Premier League Prediction – Tottenham vs. Man City

Tottenham Moneyline (+550) – Wait for Liverpool-Aston Villa Result

If Aston Villa drop all three points against Liverpool on Monday, I believe Tottenham is worth a flier on the moneyline.ย 

At their current odds, Tuesdayโ€™s hosts have a 15.4% implied probability to win on Tuesday and end Cityโ€™s eight-match winning streak in the league.ย 

Although Spurs have myriad injury issues to overcome, there are two historical systems to suggest they have a higher chance to win than these odds suggest.ย 

Since the 2012-13 season, home underdogs sitting at +251 or higher have won 24% of the time (92-291), assuming two factors:

  • The underdogโ€™s previous game margin is between +0 and +3
  • The previous head-to-head result was between -8 and +0

Additionally, Spurs fit another system that suggests underdogs, irrespective of venue, are worth a bet.ย 

Across the same timeframe, underdogs in games 18-38 are 28.5% SU (77-193), assuming three factors:

  • The previous head-to-head result was between -4 and +0
  • The underdogโ€™s previous game margin is between +1 and +4
  • The opponentโ€™s previous game margin is between +1 and +5

Although Tottenham just lost at home against Arsenal, a comparable team to Manchester City, they remain 13-5 SU at home this season.ย 

Plus, Manchester City has struggled on the road against quality competition.ย 

Tottenham will be the sixth side City has faced that possesses a home expected goal differential per 90 at +0.55 or higher.ย 

In the five other contests, City is 1-2-2 (W-L-D).ย 

As a result, I expect City either blows Tottenham out of the water or they lose outright. Assuming Spurs are properly motivated, theyโ€™re worth a sprinkle at +500 or better.ย
