Spurs vs Man City Betting Tips

There is just no stopping Irishman Robbie Keane at present. Having recently been handed the captaincy of the national side, and signing a new contract at white Hart Lane amid rumours that he was on his way out, the twenty-five year-old ahs been playing like a man possessed. Scorer of fourteen goals in nineteen Premiership appearances this season - and seven of Spurs' last twelve goals in the Premiership - Keane is on fire, and at 5/4 in the anytime goalscorer market with bet365 he simply has to be backed for maximum stakes when Martin Jol's men entertain Man City on Saturday early afternoon. The importance of winning this match for Spurs is paramount. They currently occupy fourth spot in the Premiership - two points ahead of Arsenal, who have game in hand - so are in with a real shout of playing Champions League football next season if lady luck shines on them in what is now the home straight of the Premiership season. The north London faithful would have been disappointed to see their team go down 3-1 to a revitalised Newcastle at St James' Park last weekend, but back on home soil Spurs can be relied upon. They have lost just one of their sixteen home matches in the Premiership this season, which was against Chelsea - winning ten and drawing five. When these two sides met earlier in the season at Maine Road, Spurs came away with a 2-0 victory courtesy of goals from Mido and, you guessed it, Robbie Keane. In their last four Premiership victories at White Hart Lane, backing Spurs/Spurs in the double result market would have yielded a profit, and at 7/4 with Paddy Power I rate them a cracking bet to lead at the interval and at the final whistle on Saturday. City shouldn't be underestimated but they've won just two of their fifteen Premiership matches away from home this season, losing ten and drawing the other three. In those matches Stuart Pearce's charges have scored just fifteen times - an average of a goal a game - while conceding a heft twenty three times - an overage of over 1.5 per game, hence their lack of success on their travels. With Arsenal clipping at their heels, expect Spurs to go into this match firing on all cylinders, and expect Keane to score again!
