Recent form

Manchester City

Manchester City have been in formidable form recently, showcasing their attacking prowess with an impressive 23 goals scored in their last six matches, averaging a staggering 3.83 goals per game. The Citizens are currently enjoying a four-match winning streak, which includes a dominant 4-0 victory against Wolves in their Premier League opener. Their goal-scoring exploits have been particularly noteworthy, with two standout high-scoring affairs: a 6-0 thrashing of Al Ain and a 5-2 triumph over Juventus in the FIFA Club World Cup. City's defence has also been solid, keeping four clean sheets in their last six outings. Despite a minor setback in a seven-goal thriller against Al-Hilal Saudi FC, Manchester City have bounced back strongly, demonstrating their resilience and maintaining their position at the top of the Premier League table.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent form presents a mixed picture, with their last six matches yielding two wins, three draws, and one loss. The Spurs have shown resilience in defence, keeping three clean sheets in this period, including a notable 1-0 victory over local rivals Arsenal in a friendly. However, their attack has been somewhat inconsistent, averaging just 1.17 goals per game. The standout result in this run is undoubtedly the heavy 4-0 defeat to Bayern Munich in a friendly, which significantly impacted their goal difference. On a positive note, Spurs have started their Premier League campaign strongly with a convincing 3-0 win over Burnley, placing them third in the table after the opening round. Their ability to score and concede in equal measure (7 goals each way) suggests exciting, evenly-matched contests, with half of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals.

Recent home/away form

Manchester City

Manchester City have been in formidable form at home, winning five consecutive matches before suffering a surprising defeat to Al-Hilal Saudi FC in the FIFA Club World Cup. Their home record has been particularly impressive, with the Citizens scoring a remarkable 17 goals in their last six games, averaging 2.83 goals per match. The standout performance came in their 6-0 thrashing of Al Ain, showcasing their attacking prowess. Defensively, they've been solid as well, keeping three clean sheets and conceding just one goal per game on average. The high-scoring nature of their matches is evident, with 67% of their games featuring over 2.5 goals and an average of 3.83 total goals per match. Despite the recent loss, Manchester City's home form remains strong, with their ability to score freely and defend resolutely making them a formidable opponent at the Etihad Stadium.

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent away form has been rather inconsistent, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The Spurs have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, scoring only five goals in these six games, averaging a mere 0.83 goals per match. However, their defence has shown some resilience, managing three clean sheets during this period. A particularly concerning result for Tottenham was their heavy 4-0 defeat against Bayern Munich in a friendly, which stands out as the highest-scoring game in this run. On a positive note, Spurs have managed to avoid consecutive losses in their recent away fixtures, demonstrating their ability to bounce back after setbacks. The team's goal difference of -3 over these six matches suggests they have faced some challenges on the road, but their ability to grind out results, such as the 1-0 victory against rivals Arsenal, indicates they can still be competitive away from home.
