Southampton Manchester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the occurrence of some goals. A match controlled by Pep Guardiola's men is expected, as they have a much superior squad compared to the opponents of this bout. On the other hand, Southampton have nothing to lose and should take the opportunity to put into practice their strong counterattacks. In this way, we believe in a very open match with several chances of goals, making risking in favor of goals a good option.

At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 4 wins and 1 loss in the last 5 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 19‑12‑2020, in a match for the Premier League, Manchester City won by (0‑1). The only goal of the match was scored by R. Sterling (16' ). The home advantage may play an important role in this match , since Southampton presents significant differences between home and away results.

Analysis Southampton

The home team is currently in the 12th position of the league, with 24 points won, after 5 wins, 9 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Brentford, by (4‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, by (3‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 7 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. For the league, Southampton won 15 points out of 30 possible points, after 3 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss in the last 10 home matches.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 7 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their home matches for this competition there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 10 matches have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Southampton enters this round unmotivated after a 3-1 defeat against Wolverhampton: the team's only goal was signed by James Ward-Prowse. The home team should play in a 3-5-2 tactical system, with the aim of using the central corridor to invest in the offensive process. In this drawing, the two players who will line up in the most offensive area of the pitch will be Armando Broja and Che Adams. In any case, it is foreseeable that Southampton will adopt a more defensive posture, considering that they have a lower quality squad. Out of this match are William Smallbone and Valentino Livramento, injured, as well as Moussa Djenepo, this one in the African Cup of Nations.

Confirmed Lineup: Fraser Forster, Jan Bednarek, Mohammed Salisu, Kyle Walker-Peters, Romain Perraud, Nathan Redmond, Che Adams, Stuart Armstrong, Oriol Romeu, James Ward-Prowse, Armando Broja.

Analysis Man City

The away team is currently in the 1st position of the league, with 56 points won, after 18 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in an away match against Arsenal, by (1‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Chelsea, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses in away matches, with 32 goals scored and 12 conceded; against 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at their stadium, with 50 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Man City has a record of 9 wins and 1 draw, so they have won 28 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 7 wins in the last away matches and they haven't lost any of the last 10 away matches. In their away league matches there are a few frequent results at half‑time: 0‑2 (4 out of 11 matches) and 0‑0 (4 out of 11 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. This is a team that likes to score first. They have opened up the score in 17 of the last 22 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 13 of those 17 matches and have always held on to the lead until the end of the 90'. In 22 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (46'‑60').

Manchester City comes motivated for this match after a 1-0 victory against Chelsea, thus registering the twelfth consecutive victory in this Premier League: the only goal of the match was scored by Kevin De Bruyne. The visiting team usually plays in 4-3-3, favoring offensive transitions and directing their offensive moment through the lateral flanks. The three most advanced men, responsible for tormenting the opposing defense are Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish. For this match, Mister Pep Guardiola cannot count on Liam Delap, injured, as well as Riyad Mahrez, this one in the African Cup of Nations.

Confirmed Lineup: Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, João Cancelo, Aymeric Laporte, Rúben Dias, Jack Grealish, Phil Foden, Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Rodri Hernández, Raheem Sterling.
