Tottenham Loses Key Player, Man City Gets Nod from Odds

The odds are not in Tottenham's favor as Irish defender Matt Doherty would miss the match this weekend, giving Man City the chance to improve their record.

	Sportsbet.io	Betcoin.ag	Nitrogen Sports	Stake.com	FortuneJack
Tottenham	4.10	4.21	3.96	4.20	4.20
Draw	3.90	4.02	3.96	3.95	4.00
Manchester City	1.81	1.84	1.78	1.83	1.84

Based on the odds posted at these five Bitcoin sports betting sites, Manchester City is likely to dominate the match and with least likelihood that it would end in a draw. Tottenham is the underdog in their upcoming game this weekend in Premier League Matchweek 9, with Sportsbet.io giving the Spurs only 4.10 odds to win compared to the City’s 1.81 odds.

This isn’t a surprise especially since it has been recently reported that Tottenham defender Matt Doherty would be skipping their next game after testing positive to COVID-19. The Irish national played against Wales and England before coming back. Due to this, Doherty would be required to be in isolation for 14 days.

The Irish Football Association (IFA) said in a statement:

“The Football Association of Ireland can confirm Matt Doherty and James McClean have tested positive for COVID-19. The rest of the staff & squad tested negative ahead of the flight back to Dublin this morning before the match against Bulgaria on Wednesday.”

This setback is clear in the betting odds, with Betcoin.ag giving the Spurs 4.21 odds–the lowest of the five–while Nitrogen Sports being the most optimistic with 3.96 odds for Tottenham.

But Doherty’s absence isn’t the only reason Manchester City will win this weekend. Admittedly mired by several injuries, Man City may come back stronger in the League as a few players are reportedly coming back to play against Tottenham.

Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero could be playing against Tottenham as he nears recovery from a hamstring injury. Reports say that Aguero has been involved in solo training and would return to the first-team roster this week.

Fernandinho, who suffered a leg injury last month, would likely be back as well as he has been training alone recently. Moreover, Raheem Sterling, might be able to play in Matchweek 9 as his injury is deemed to be not too severe.

With these promising comebacks, Man City gets favorable odds at FortuneJack and Stake.com, with 1.84 and 1.83, respectively.
