Tottenham Analysis
This is the first match in this edition of the home team’s competition, which ended the previous edition in 7th place. This is a team that keeps their performance when they play away from their stadium, as in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 10 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in their stadium. The team comes for this match after a home win against Arsenal, by (1‑0). Tottenham has won 8 and lost 2 of their last 10 home matches in all competitions. Their attack has scored with great regularity, as they have always scored at least one goal in the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home games, as 27 of the last 31 matches they have played have ended with Over 1.5 goals. In 15 matches, they have turned the score around in 2 of the 6 matches in which they have conceded the first goal.
Tottenham enters this first round motivated after a victory, by 1-0, in a friendly against Arsenal: Son Heung-Min, in the 79th minute, scored what would be the only goal of the match. The home team usually acts in a tactical system in 4-3-3, favoring quick transitions, mainly through the wings. Up front, the London team can count on Harry Kane, Heung-Min Son and Steven Bergwijn. One of Tottenham’s great qualities in home games has been the offensive system, having scored several goals. Coach Nuno Espírito Santo should be very satisfied, as he has all the pieces available for this first round of the Premier League.
Man City Analysis
The visiting team debuts in this edition of the competition after having finished last season in 1st place. This is a team that curiously presents better results away than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 12 wins and 3 losses in away matches, with a total of 30 goals scored and 13 conceded. At home, they won 11 wins and 4 losses, with a total of 35 goals scored and 13 conceded. The team comes to this match after an away loss against Leicester City, by (1‑0). In the last 10 away matches Manchester City has won 7 and lost 3. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have turned the score around in 3 of the 6 matches they have conceded the first goal.
Manchester City comes unmotivated for this match after having lost the English Super Cup, against Leicester City. As the “enemy” of this round, the visiting club usually acts in a tactical design in 4-3-3, where the three men responsible for causing panic in the opposing defense are Riyad Mahrez, Ferran Torres and Raheem Sterling. So, even playing away from home, it’s foreseeable that Manchester City will adopt a more offensive posture, taking into account that they have more individual and collective quality. For this game, coach Pep Guardiola should still not be able to count on Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne and Yangel Herrera as they are in the medical department.
