Manchester City vs Spurs Betting Preview
- By A.J. Ryder on April 21, 2013 00:03 GMT
The favourite for player of the year is set to take on Manchester’s second best team as Gareth Bale lines up against City with an eye on keeping Spurs in the hunt for a Champions League slot. With a number of top European clubs all seemingly clamoring the sign the Welsh wizard, he’ll be looking to turn on the style during the feature fixture against Manchester City.

Roberto Mancini’s men will be itching to dig into United’s points lead and still keep some semblance of competition afoot into the month of May. This will put City level on games played and that will determine whether there is still much to play for next week.
Effectively, nothing but three points will do for Manchester City and they will need to conjure up one of their best performances if they plan to stay in the hunt. With Bale hosting the show and a talented supporting cast waiting in the wings, one has little reason to wonder why the bookmakers have this match up priced so tightly.
As it currently stands, punters will find Spurs trading at 9/5 for the outright victory while City are available at a slim 6/4, which is one of the longer prices you will see that at all season. While they do get the slimmest of edges from the bookmakers, this one may be setting up to be more about who scores second, as opposed to who scores the first goal.
Look for the draw to be another interesting selection with a price of around 11/5. There really is every chance that this fixture will wind up with a 0-0 result or become a 4-3 barn-burner.
The favoured correct score outcome is the 0-0 scoreline and punters will find it trading at a slim 6/1. Look for Spurs 1-0 at 17/2 while City to win 1-0 trades at 8/1. Another interesting price is the 17/2 listing on a 2-1 City result. 0-0 would reward at 10/1.
