Analysis of Saturday s five major league matches, daily unpopular warning!

Manchester City vs Tottenham Hotspur

Manchester City's chance to win: If Guardiola continues the speed-up pass and control tactics in the first round, use Reindes' long pass and wing attacks to create chaos, Haaland is expected to continue the goal momentum. Settings tactics (especially corner kicks and free kicks) can become a weapon to break intensive defense. In addition, nearly 60% of Manchester City's goals were concentrated after 70 minutes, while Tottenham's physical fitness declined significantly after 75 minutes. This period of time may become the key to determining the outcome.

Tottenham's upset hope: Frank may learn from the Super Cup tactics against Paris, compress the space through the three-center-back system, and use Kudus' breakthrough and Risalisson's counterattack efficiency to create a threat. If Tottenham can withstand Manchester City's three-pronged approach and take the lead through set pieces (such as Romero's header), it is expected to replicate the away miracle of last season.

This game is not only a tie-up battle in the standings, but also a direct collision of tactical concepts: Manchester City pursues the combination of ultimate pass control and rapid conversion, while Tottenham relies on anti-counter-counter efficiency and set-piece surprise attacks. Both teams have been in very good shape recently, and the two teams have serious injuries. Manchester City has little advantage in this game, but he has made a very big concession, which is very unreasonable. So I think Manchester City won this game and is optimistic about 3-1 2-1!
