Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur: Top Over/Under Odds, Betting Tips and More

The Premier League’s Matchday 2 serves up a heavyweight clash on Saturday as Manchester City host Tottenham Hotspur at the Etihad Stadium. Both sides started the 2025-26 campaign with convincing wins, with City cruising to a 4-0 triumph at Wolves and Spurs easing past newly promoted Burnley 3-0 under new boss Thomas Frank. Pep Guardiola’s men sit top of the table after week one and looked sharp, with Erling Haaland leading the City attack alongside new signing Tijjani Reijnders.

However, Spurs are never an easy opponent for City. Guardiola has often struggled against them in the past and Thomas Frank will hope his side can build early-season momentum with another good result on the road. With both clubs aiming to make it back-to-back wins to start the season, the stage is set for a big battle in Manchester.

Sights set on Spurs! 👊

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Total Goals Over/Under Odds

Pick: Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Over 3.5 Goals @ +110 as per BetMGM

Both teams’ latest results point to a high total. City’s last three matches have produced big totals: 4–0 at Wolves, 3–0 vs Palermo, and a 3–4 loss to Al-Hilal — that’s 14 goals (4.7 per game), with two of three clearing 3.5. City striker Erling Haaland is firing on all cylinders alongside new signings Tijjani Reijnders and Rayan Cherki.

Spurs also arrive with goals at both ends too: 3–0 vs Burnley, 2–2 vs PSG in the Super Cup, and a 0–4 loss to Bayern — 11 goals (3.7 per game), two of three over 3.5. Tottenham’s attacking duo of Richarlison and Mohammed Kudus have started clicking. As a result, backing Over 3.5 Goals @ +110 in this match seems good value.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Total Shots and Shots on Target Over/Under Odds

Pick: Over 30.5 Shots at -130

Pick: Over 10.5 Shots on Target at -105

(Odds via FanDuel)

Both Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur consistently generate high shot volumes, making this pick attractive for this clash. This matchup is expected to produce an end-to-end clash. City’s home games typically lifts their shot count while Frank’s Spurs won’t sit deep after a 68%-possession debut. With Guardiola’s City dominating territory at home and Thomas Frank’s Spurs pressing and breaking aggressively, this will be a high-attempt game on both ends, enough to clear 30.5 shots.

Both the attacks are in top form with Haaland, Reijnders and Cherki on one side and Richarlison and Kudus on the other. With two high-tempo attacks and Tottenham unlikely to sit deep, this fixture sets up for an open contest that should also see 11+ shots on target land.

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur Total Corners Over/Under Odds

Pick: Total Corners Over 10.5 at -122

(Odds via FanDuel)

City push high with their wingers and full-backs, often forcing opposition defences into clearances that generate corners. Against a Tottenham side that will concede lots of spaces during transitions, City should have the opportunities to rack up corners. Tottenham themselves had 6 corners in their 3-0 win against Burnley. At -122, total corners over 10.5 offers excellent value in what is expected to be a fast-paced game.
