Manchester City – Tottenham, Prediction – League Cup

🆙 City does not give in to the tension, wins again

Man City is in a difficult period. The form is in a certain decline, and Guardiola even said that this is the most difficult season in their lives (for him and the players). The Citizens won 2-1 in a tough away game against Aston Villa as soon as they lost the semi-final in the FA Cup to Chelsea, and separately, all this around the Super League has affected the players in some way. The biggest problem for the citizens at the moment is the lack of de Bruyne, who has little chance to appear in a game against Tottenham. Guardiola hopes to be ready for PSG.

💯 The match of the season for Tottenham

In addition to the hysteria surrounding the Super League, in which Tottenham was a participant, there was little comment on the fact that Mourinho was fired, but this was expected a long time ago. The question remains why right now? The logic we find is that the relationship between the players and Mourinho is completely broken, action had to be taken. The goal is now after his sacking to create a positive atmosphere, which will directly affect the team’s performance in the final. Tottenham beat Southampton 2-1 on Wednesday and played well. The interim coach is Ryan Mason, who is only 29 years old and until recently was a Tottenham player, but his career didn’t go well due to serious injuries.

Spurs will be much more motivated now

 Expert view: We should not forget that when Tottenham fired Pochettino, it quickly became clear that Mourinho will be the new coach of the team and now something like that can happen, i.e. this is likely to be a well-thought-out move by Daniel Levy. However, it has long been clear when this final in the League Cup will be played and it is hardly a coincidence that the Portuguese was fired just before the big game. Until the end, it is not known whether Kane will participate in the meeting due to injury problems, but we will still choose a somewhat unexpected prediction such as BTTS at 2.00. Our main reasons are 4 and are related. Man City are currently strong, but not as strong as they were 1-2 months ago, and they have a match with PSG in the Champions League in just 3 days. We are convinced that Man City would give up any trophy just to win the Champions League. The other reasons are related to Tottenham. Spurs have not won a trophy since 1991 when they won the FA Cup – exactly 30 years ago. Believe us, Tottenham want to win a cup no less than Liverpool wanted to win the Premier League also for 30 years, and since Mourinho is no longer the coach, many players will play much more freely and motivated, so even if Kane doesn’t play in the match, we think they can score at least one goal. City are an absolute favorite at the paper because they are the better team, so we believe that it will not be very difficult for them to score at least once.
