Southampton vs Manchester City Preview, Predictions & Betting Tips

There’s little to play for when these two sides meet on Sunday.

Man City have secured second place and Southampton are in midtable.

Southampton sit comfortably in midtable with no fear of relegation and little hope of European qualification. Manchester City have second place wrapped up with an 11 point lead on Leicester.

Manchester City showed just what they’re capable of against Liverpool. Southampton, too, have little to play for and should be no problem for a side stacked with options so over 3.5 goals is the first of our betting tips on the match. Another high scoring match for Man City is also predicted and a repeat of their 4-0 win against Liverpool is 14/1.

 

Southampton Form

Southampton have won three of their last eight league games and find themselves comfortably in midtable. They have kept clean sheets in two of those wins but have conceded two or more in four of their five defeats.

Danny Ings inched closer to Jamie Vardy’s goal tally with a brace against Watford last time out. He is just one goal behind having hit three in three since the restart.

Southampton have a mixed record against the current top six. Two wins and two draws from ten is respectable, yet the Saints have conceded three or more on four occasions, including a 9-0 home defeat to Leicester.

Team News

Pierre-Emile Højbjerg and Sofiane Boufal are injury doubts for this game.

 

Manchester City Form

Manchester City have picked up four wins from five competitive matches since the restart. They won 3-0 against Arsenal, 5-0 against Burnley, 2-0 against Newcastle in the FA Cup Quarter-Final, and most recently, 4-0 against Liverpool in midweek. Their one loss came against Chelsea which confirmed Liverpool’s title.

No side has outscored Manchester City’s 81 goals in 32 games this season. City have conceded 33 in 32, ranking them fifth for goals against.

Guardiola’s side emerged 2-1 victors from their reverse fixture with Southampton. Sergio Aguero and Kyle Walker struck late to overturn a 1-0 deficit in November.
