Supercomputer predicts Tottenham’s chances of beating Man City in the Premier League
Opta’s Supercomputer has revealed how likely Tottenham Hotspur are to cause an upset against Man City on Sunday.
Tottenham have a formidable record at home against Manchester City ever since they moved into their new stadium in 2019.
The Lilywhites also beat Pep Guardiola’s men 2-0 away from home in the reverse fixture at the start of the campaign.
However, this is a very different Spurs side, which is not only without some key players but also devoid of confidence, languishing in 14th place in the Premier League table.
Man City deemed big favourites to beat Tottenham
Despite the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium historically not being a happy hunting ground for City, the Manchester club has been deemed considerable favourites by Opta’s Supercomputer.
The data analysis platform has given City a 46.9 per cent chance of taking all three points from North London on Sunday.
The home side have been given a 28.7 per cent chance of causing an upset, while the algorithm suggests that a draw is the least likely result at 24.4 per cent.
Why this is not a bad fixture for Spurs right now
The Tottenham players will take some confidence from their impressive display away at Frankfurt, while the mood of the fan base is also slightly more positive after progression to the final 16 of the Champions League.
We have already seen that Spurs struggle against weaker Premier League teams at home, partly because the players struggle to cope with the expectation of the home crowd to dominate proceedings and create chances.
The supporters will be much more accepting of playing on the counter-attack against City, and we may see a good atmosphere at the stadium on Sunday.
