Spurs pressing game is working well
Tottenham Hotspur Women have a poor recent run in all competitions, but they have been playing in a much more exciting way since Martin Ho took charge in July 2025. This Tottenham (W) vs London City Lionesses (W) prediction highlights how Ho’s pressing game is a high-octane style that Spurs apply from the front and is designed to force turnovers and get his players in behind the opponents at speed with numbers. The team can be a little disorganised at the back at times, but they have been getting plenty of joy in front of goal and can win football games in a different way now. They’re fifth in Super League Women 2025/2026 with 30 points from 20 games, six more than London City Lionesses (W) in seventh with 24 points.
Lionesses can stifle games, but not Tottenham
Eder Maestre has tried to bring a more possession-based identity to London City Lionesses (W) since taking charge in December 2025, but they’re not quite clicking yet. Our Tottenham (W) vs London City Lionesses (W) preview examines how his side will get the ball down and try to control the tempo, dictating play with short, vertical combinations in the central area. They will try and play through the midfield and break lines with inside-forward movement. At times they do get caught out by pressing teams, but it’s not often that they are caught out by opponents with as much intensity as Tottenham (W) will bring on Sunday.
Tottenham to win and entertainment on the cards
The Tottenham (W) vs London City Lionesses (W) prediction takes into account the odds of 1.74 for over 2.5 goals, which appeal in this matchup given both teams’ identities and the last three meetings’ recent history, but I’m taking Tottenham (W) to get the win at 2.12 as the home team.
London City are in decent form, coming into this one off the back of a 5-0 home win over Leicester (W) and two consecutive draws, but they have three wins, two draws and five defeats on the road, scoring 1.10 and conceding 1.70 goals per away game.
Spurs have five wins, two draws and three defeats at home in the league, scoring 0.90 goals and conceding 1.10 per match on average.
This Tottenham (W) vs London City Lionesses (W) prediction is influenced by the fact Tottenham (W) have lost four of their last five (D1, L4), but their home form is less bad with no wins, one draw and one defeat in their last two.
For those looking for Tottenham (W) vs London City Lionesses (W) betting tips, Bethany England will likely be the best player on the pitch and the goal scorer for Tottenham (W). She is their top scorer in the league with seven goals in 19 appearances, but more importantly, she has scored two of their five goals across the last five games.
Freya Godfrey is the best scorer at London City with five goals in 16 league appearances, but she is consistent rather than a player with standout moments, although she can find the net.
