Before you tune in to Wednesday's match, you need to see the EFL Cup picks from soccer expert Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks for anyone following him on betting apps and betting sites, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.
For Tottenham vs. Man City, Green is backing Tottenham to draw no bet for a +120 payout. The expert reminds us that Man City likely won't field their usual starting XI following comments from manager Pep Guardiola that the EFL Cup is not a top priority for the club. Green notes, however, that the Citizens will still be a tough team to beat with youngsters Kaden Braithwaite and Nico O'Reilly and squad players like Rico Lewis and Matheus Nunes on the pitch.
Green expects Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou to field his top players with the team's sights set on winning some silverware. Spurs are coming off of a disappointing 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace in league play, so they should be extra eager to get back into the win column.
"Man City should still have enough firepower to breach a leaky Spurs defense, but Tottenham should also feel confident in their chances of getting on the score sheet," Green told SportsLine. "It might be prudent to wait for the starting XIs to be revealed before betting on this game, but if Postecoglou sends out his best players, they could lead Spurs to a precious victory."
