Tottenham take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 1/8-finals of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 30th at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (London).
Tottenham aims to address last season’s issues but is yet to hit peak form. Following a disappointing 2022/2023 campaign, Spurs placed their hopes in Ange Postecoglou. Though he had no experience in top-tier leagues, Ange was nearly successful in securing a Champions League spot. However, Aston Villa emerged as an unexpected competitor, and Harry Kane's departure left a noticeable gap in goals and assists. Tottenham spent over £60 million on Solanke in hopes of landing their "new Harry," yet Dominic is still settling in, struggling to score regularly. While Spurs have had some impressive performances (notably a 3-0 win at Old Trafford), they've also experienced some significant setbacks. Recently, they seemed to underestimate Crystal Palace, resulting in a 0-1 loss to their modest neighbor.

Manchester City unexpectedly let Alvarez go this summer, and later lost Rodri to a ligament injury. New arrivals Savio and Gündogan were brought in to fill the gaps, but many were surprised by City’s relatively quiet summer, sparking rumors that the club is anticipating a financial penalty following investigations into potential violations. Aside from Haaland, the champions' form has been somewhat worrying. Their struggles began in the Community Shield, where they only defeated United on penalties. In the league, they narrowly avoided a loss to Arsenal, managing to draw 2-2 thanks to Stones' equalizer in the 90th minute. He recently clinched a late win against Wolves and scored again in a tight 1-0 victory over Southampton, an unexpected struggle against the league's bottom team.
In the last five meetings between the two sides, City lost only once, claiming three wins, including both recent encounters. Tottenham could emerge victorious, with favorable odds on their side. However, it's likely that both teams will hold back slightly. The safer bet is “under 3.5 goals.”
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
