LiontipsTottenham vs Manchester City. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (August 15, 2021).
Command Analysis
Tottenham last won the Premier League title 60 years ago. Since then, the team has regularly featured in the top five best clubs in the country.
In the 2020/2021 season, the Spurs lacked stability. They won 18 games and drew in 8, chalking up 62 points and settling in seventh place in the table. This brought them a ticket to the Conference League.
Tottenham gave a great attacking performance, and Harry Kane became the top scorer not only in his team but in the entire Premier League (23 goals).
At the end of the season, the Spurs suffered two defeats and won three times - over Sheffield United (4:0), Wolverhampton (2:0), and Leicester (4:2).
In July, Nuno Espirito Santo became the new manager of the club. Some new players have joined the squad, among them Bryan Gil from Sevilla (25 mln). Cristian Romero and Pierluigi Collini were loaned from Atalanta.
Romero, Sessegnon, and Ndombele will not feature in the game. Harry Kane might also be unavailable.
Last season Manchester City won the Premier League title for the seventh time. They had a rocky start, but once City got on top of the standings, they didn't let anyone come near them.
After 38 rounds, Man City had 27 victories, 5 draws, and 86 points. In the last three rounds, City defeated Newcastle (4:3) and Everton (5:0). The club's performance was all-round: they had been both great in defense and very powerful in attack, scoring 83 goals.
On 7 August, Man City competed against Leicester for the Community Shield. A penalty in the 89th minute sealed the deal for Leicester City, and the Foxes lifted the trophy.
One of the biggest transfers of the Premier League was the signing of Jack Grealish, who Man City bought from Aston Villa for a fantastic 117.5 million euros. Fluminense's right winger, Kayky da Silva Chagas also joined the club (10 mln).
Manchester City will be without Foden, De Bruyne, and Delap, who are injured. There are doubts over the availability of Sterling, Stones, Ederson, and Gabriel Jesus.

Tip and bets
The Premier League is back with full attendance, and that certainly adds motivation to the hosts. The reigning champions are the favourite to win, they have a more stellar lineup and even the Spurs' main star can move to Man City in the nearest future. Nevertheless, this is the first game of the season and we think that Tottenham will put up a good fight. The hosts will focus on defense in an attempt to get the first points.
Our prediction - Asian handicap (+1) to Tottenham.
The opponents aren't in perfect form, and often the first games can bring some surprising results. We are going to take a risk and bet on a draw in this fixture.
Second wager - draw.
