Tottenham vs Man City Betting Tips: UNDER 3.5

At last, Tottenham brought an end to their run of four straight defeats in the Premier League in their second-to-last fixture of the season in front of their home supporters, orchestrating a turnaround to clinch a hard-fought 2-1 win against Burnley, thereby officially condemning the Clarets to a heartbreaking relegation to the Championship only a year after their ascent.

Spurs' top four aspirations were kept alive by their hard-earned maximum points, but it seems that Ange Postecoglou's troops will have to settle for a place in the UEFA Europa League for the next season, as it would be surprising to see them make up the four-point deficit and leapfrog Aston Villa into fourth in the final two matches.

Tottenham, though, will take center stage midweek as they are the only ones who can alter the course of the Premier League title race and potentially aid their North London rivals Arsenal in finishing atop at the season's end, but it will require them to stun Man City, a challenge that doesn't seem insurmountable, given Spurs' track record of beating the Citizens in five out of their last six home encounters.

That solitary failure of the capital club at the former White Hart Lane occurred unfortunately earlier this year, as Guardiola's side sprinted to a late 1-0 victory in the fourth round of the FA Cup in late January, casting doubt on Tottenham's ability to derail Manchester City's pursuit of another England's top-flight title.

Manchester City finds themselves just two steps away from an exceptional fourth consecutive title in the Premier League, and they seem to be effortlessly marching towards it, as clearly demonstrated during Saturday afternoon's visit to Craven Cottage, where they cruised to a commanding 4-0 victory over Fulham to record their seventh league win on the bounce and their 21st match unbeaten (W17, D4).

As they face their biggest obstacle en route to a new crowning, Guardiola and his crew will draw encouragement from their recent strong away record, where they have been averaging 3.4 goals per game over the past five visits across all competitions, while slotting in exactly four balls in three out of their last four triumphs in the Premier League.

With a goal difference three goals shy of the Gunners, the Citizens cannot afford any form of stumble, but their recent visits to the Spurs do not bring optimism, as the Sky Blues have left North London empty-handed in three consecutive Premier League encounters without finding the net. Considering the trend where none of the past seven encounters between these two sides in the English capital has seen more than two goals, we anticipate another tightly-contested affair where Man City aims to snatch crucial three points as they chase the title.
