Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur
Premier League betting starts again in a couple of weeks and, while pre-season is all about getting match fit and finding shapes, this ICC fixture at the Nissan Stadium in Nashville could give us a few pointers.
City are 2.71 favourites with SBOBET’s Asian Handicap Betting to lift the Premier league Trophy in 2018; while last season’s runners up Spurs are fourth favourite, out at 9.00.
Pep Guardiola is showing massive intent, having already spent over £200m, £100m on full backs alone. He could be prepared to break the bank again if Monaco star Kylian M’Bappe fancies a move to Manchester. One of City’s captures is the £50m signing of Kyle Walker from Spurs. While Mauricio Pochettino is trying to build steadily, his biggest ongoing challenge is keeping his other stars, such as Harry Kane, at the club. Kane loves Spurs but his head may ultimately be turned if the Whites stand still while all around them advance. Pep Guardiola won’t expect to see City finish behind Spurs again anytime soon.
The pre-season clues so far suggest City may be getting close to where they want to be, thrashing Real Madrid last time out. Kevin De Bruyne was in outstanding form, while Sergio Aguero and Gabriel Jesus both looked sharp. Meanwhile, Spurs suffered a 3-2 reversal against Roma, and Pochettino will be keen to show his team can defend as well as attack.
If they can match City at Nashville then maybe Spurs fans are in for another good season. But it’s a big ‘if’.
