Betting on Southampton
You don’t have to go that far back in time to find Southampton’s last home win over Manchester City. In July 2020, they won 1-0 with a goal scored by Ché Adams. In only two games out of fourteen, they were able to get the three points at home. Their top scorer is James Ward-Prowse with seven goals, while Adams who follows him with five goals will be sidelined because of an injury.
Southampton’s numbers are a cause of concern. For instance, out of the 16 games they went into halftime trailing, they ended up losing 13 of them. That’s a trend they’ll need to change if they want to stay in the Premier League.
Probable formation (4-4-2): Gavin Bazunu; Kyle Walker-Peters, Jan Bednarek, Duje Caleta-Car, Romain Perraud; Stuart Armstrong, James Ward-Prowse, Romeo Lavia, Mohamed Elyounoussi; Theo Walcott, Sékou Mara.
Betting on Manchester City
Erling Haaland’s return from injury, which forced him to miss a couple of games, is the best news for Pep Guardiola’s team. The Norwegian striker has played 37 games this season and has scored 42 goals, with 28 of them being in the Premier League, where he is the goal scoring leader. City has gone seven games unbeaten, with one draw and six wins, four of them in a row.
Southampton has suffered three out of their four defeats away from home, and in two of those games, they went into halftime trailing and failed to turn the game around. However, they do hold the impressive record of being the team with the most goals scored in the Premier League, with a total of 71 goals. That’s a statistic that should strike fear into their opponents.
Probable formation (4-2-3-1): Ederson; Manuel Akanji, Rúben Dias, Nathan Aké, John Stones; Rodri, Ilkay Gündogan; Riyad Mahrez, Kevin de Bruyne , Jack Grealish; Erling Haaland.
JefeBet Prediction
At JefeBet, we believe that there’s no way Manchester City, with their dominant form, won’t be able to score a big win in their visit to Southampton. Unfortunately for the Southerners, they’ll have to wait for another opportunity to pick up points and continue their quest for survival.
Prediction: Manchester City Moneyline (MAN 5-0 SOU).
