Manchester City vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
Leader Manchester City lost a game in the Premier League for the first time in a long time last weekend. On Wednesday evening, Pep Guardiola’s team will have the opportunity to forget that defeat when Southampton is a guest at the Etihad Stadium.
Manchester City:
Manchester City is still at the top of England. After 28 games, the counter is 65 points for Guardiola’s team. The question is not whether Manchester City will win the Premier League this season, but only when The Citizens will receive the Premier League title. Last weekend, Manchester City could have done good business in that title fight by booking a result in-house against Manchester United. That did not work, because Guardiola saw how his team lost 0-2 in the Manchester Derby.
They have not had long at Manchester City to evaluate Sunday’s game. On Wednesday evening, a competition match with Southampton is on the program. Against Manchester United, Manchester City ended a series of 21 victories in a row. On Wednesday evening, Manchester City hopes to set up a new victory series and for that it will initially have to deal with Southampton. Earlier this season, Manchester City won 0-1 against Southampton by a hit by Raheem Sterling.
Southampton:
At Southampton they know that a result on Wednesday evening at the Etihad Stadium is far from a certainty. In fact, Southampton will be satisfied for a long time if it manages to limit the damage when visiting Manchester City. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team has fallen a number of places in the rankings in recent weeks and that is why we currently find Southampton back in fourteenth place. At the beginning of November, Southampton was still at the top of the Premier League, but then things went downhill with The Saints.
After four games in a row without a win, Southampton managed to take a three-pointer again on Saturday afternoon. Hasenhüttl’s men visited Sheffield United and managed to score a 0-2 win at Bramall Lane. James Ward-Prowse and Che Adams were accurate against the bottom of the Premier League, giving their team three important points. Danny Ings was injured against Sheffield and will be out at The Saints in the coming weeks. Southampton now has 33 points due to the victory over the bottom of the league and is therefore not officially safe yet, but it must go very crazy if Southampton are actually in danger.
