Betting tip and prediction for this match between Southampton vs Manchester City

The best prediction for Southampton vs Manchester City in the Premier League is that Manchester City will be winning at half-time. The visiting side boasts a significantly stronger squad and is in excellent form, having achieved seven victories in their last eight official matches. On the other hand, Southampton appears to be lacking motivation, having lost eight of their last ten encounters. Consequently, the visitors are anticipated to perform strongly in this fixture and are likely to be leading at half-time.

Match preview: Southampton vs Manchester City

Southampton and Manchester City meet at St. Mary’s Stadium for the 36th round of the Premier League. The last time these teams clashed was on 26-04-2024, where Manchester City secured a 1-0 win at home. The record for past encounters at this stadium generally favours the away team, with the visitors winning three, drawing one, and losing two of the last six matches here. In their most recent visit to St. Mary’s, Manchester City emerged victorious with a resounding 4-1 scoreline. Southampton’s S. Mara netted the goal for his side while Jack Grealish, Julián Álvarez, and Erling Haaland accounted for the visitors. It is essential to consider the home/away dynamics, as Southampton’s performances vary considerably when playing at home or away.

Team analysis: Southampton

Currently sitting in 20th position, the home team has accumulated only 11 points from 2 wins, 5 draws, and 28 losses. Their last outing ended in a 2-0 defeat to Leicester City, following a previous home loss to Fulham (1-2). Oddly enough, Southampton seems to perform better away, recording just 1 victory, 3 draws, and 11 losses in their last 30 games as visitors, compared to 1 win, 1 draw, and 13 losses at home. In the league, they have managed only 1 point from a possible 30 in their last ten home games, registering 1 draw and 9 defeats.

At home, they are yet to win in 12 matches and have consistently struggled defensively, conceding goals in all of their last 10 league games. Moreover, analysis of their home performances shows a tendency towards high-scoring encounters, with 12 of their last 17 league matches concluding with more than 2.5 goals. Of the 35 league games played, they have never managed to turn around the scoreline when conceding the first goal in 23 instances. Notably, of their last 17 home games, they scored 5 out of their 12 goals between the 0-15 minute mark.

Following their 2-0 defeat at Leicester, Simon Rusk’s side is expected to line up in a 3-4-3 formation, featuring Kamaldeen Sulemana, Ross Stewart, and Paul Onuachu in attack. In midfield, Mateus Fernandes will play a pivotal role in dictating the tempo and orchestrating the team’s offensive play. Unfortunately, the Saints will be without Gavin Bazunu, Charlie Taylor, Albert Grønbæk, and Juan Larios, all of whom are sidelined due to injury.

Team analysis: Manchester City

The away team currently occupies 3rd place with 64 points, courtesy of 19 wins, 7 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a 2-1 home victory against Aston Villa, followed by a 1-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers in their last outing. This team is minimally affected by location, registering similar results whether at home or away with 7 wins, 2 draws, and 6 losses from their last 30 away games, scoring 24 goals and conceding 21. At home, they have successfully managed 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 defeats, while scoring 41 goals and conceding only 17. Their last away encounter was an FA Cup victory, winning 0-2 against Nottingham Forest. In their last ten matches in the league, Manchester City has recorded 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses, earning 15 points out of a potential 30. Their attack has consistently been effective, scoring in 7 of their last 10 league fixtures. Across 35 league games, they have conceded the first goal 14 times but have turned around the score in 6 instances. Remarkably, in their last 17 away matches, they have conceded 8 of their 21 goals between the 76-90 minute marks.

Manchester City enters this fixture following a 1-0 triumph over Wolverhampton, with Kevin de Bruyne netting the match’s only goal. Pep Guardiola’s side is likely to adopt a 4-3-3 formation, featuring Erling Haaland, Jérémie Doku, and Omar Maroush as key attacking players. In midfield, Kevin de Bruyne will take on a crucial role in building attacks, being the maestro responsible for exploring gaps and orchestrating play. Unfortunately, the citizens will be without Rodri Stones and Nathan Aké due to injuries.
