Manchester City vs Spurs Betting Preview Part 2
- By A.J. Ryder on April 21, 2013 00:06 GMT
The most likely goalscorer in the match is Gareth Bale and the bookmakers have him as short as 5/4 to grab an anytime strike. Punters will find him trading at around 5/1 to score the first goal, but you can expect that selection to take a fair amount of late action so it’s worth backing early before the odds fluctuate.

For the more adventurous types, Bale trades at 6/1 to score a pair or more while he’s at 33/1 to grab a hat-trick. Remember when he played left back?
Clint Dempsey is another to keep your eye on, particularly if City tend to double-team Bale in an effort to take him out of the game. That will definitely open up space for the American and he is well-priced to score anytime at an 11/4 listing.
For Manchester City, they have a variety of different options but it’s a bit more worth waiting for the starting line-up as opposed to making substantial wagers before you actually know who’s starting. Sergio Aguero is available here and he’s the shortest-priced contender to grab an anytime goal for the side in blue. Look for him at 6/4 while Carlos Tevez may be a more interesting option for some, priced out at 7/4.
The over/under on total goals is priced at 10/11 for under 2.5 while over 2.5 can be backed at the same price. Over 3.5 pays out at 9/4, while over 5.5 pays out at a whopping 12/1.
A red card to be shown at any point in the match can be backed at 10/3.
VERDICT: Spurs to keep this one tight and eek out a 2-1 victory with a late, late goal.
