Manchester City have been rampant in England so far this season, beating all comers including city rivals, Manchester United, and amassing the maximum eighteen points from six games played. This achievement will make any team preparing to face them a little bit apprehensive of the herculean task it would take to stop the Guardiola juggernaut. Tottenham are the team with the unenviable task of trying to be get something from them this weekend and that is the EPL game we will be previewing this weekend.

Tottenham didn’t have the best of starts to the league this season as they could only get one win from their opening three games of the season before embarking on their current run of three straight wins and to make it four, they would have to go through a Manchester City side that haven’t dropped a single point all season. The north Londoners will be without their goal king, Harry Kane, who will be sidelined for a while with an ankle injury. In the absence of the Englishman, South Korean striker Heung-Min Son, has stepped up to the plate racking up three goals in his last two games and could cause the suspect City backline some problems.

For all of Manchester City’s brilliant start to the season, their defence seems to be the chink in their armour as they have only been able to keep just one clean sheet in their six league games played so far. They’ve been outscoring their opponents this season, but against a defensively disciplined Spurs side, they would need to defend better to keep their winning run going. Sergio Aguero is back from his suspension and it’s like he never left with his display against Swansea last week, he would love to continue his scoring exploits against Tottenham, a team he has an exceptional scoring record against (10 goals in 9 matches). This is surely a must-see game this weekend and you can make some money off it by placing bets on www.nairabet.com

In Germany, league leaders Bayern Munich will take on third placed Koln, with the intention of continuing their perfect start to the 2016-2017 Bundesliga season. The Bavarians won their first four games of the season easily, crushing Werder Bremen (6-0), Schalke (2-0), Ingolstadt (3-1), and Hertha Berlin (3-0) in succession, before being pushed to the limit against Hamburg last weekend, where they needed an 88th minute Joshua Kimmich goal to subdue the basement team. Their opponents this weekend are also undefeated this season pulling off three wins and two draws so far. However, keeping that record will be a herculean task for Koln as they will be facing the four-time defending champions at the magnificent Alianz arena, where Bayern rarely drop points in the league. The Champions should nick this one and that is how you should place your bet on www.nairabet.com

Inter and Roma will clash in Rome in the final Serie A fixture of this weekend and teams will need a positive result to avoid letting Juventus and Napoli get further away from them on the table. Roma had a fantastic 4-0 victory over Romanian side Astra on Thursday in the Europa League, while Inter suffered a 3-1 defeat to Czech side, Sparta Prague to slump to their second straight defeat in that competition. However, the last time Inter lost in the Europa league, they followed it up with a win over Juventus the next weekend and will be hoping for the same kind of positive result to follow Thursday’s loss.
