Southampton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath |
With the English Premier League now in the final stretch of the season, every point gained counts. Second placed Manchester City can't afford a slip-up at bottom-of-the-table Southampton. This is a match of huge significance for both sides. There’s no room left for error for City, who will still have faith that they can reel in the current league leaders, Arsenal, while time is rapidly evaporating for the Saints to somehow claw their way off the bottom of the table and out of the relegation zone.

Unsurprisingly, the visitors are heavily fancied to win this match, priced at respectable odds of 1.25 for the win on most bookmakers’ odds. The draw is returning as much as 6.5 to land, while a win for the hosts holds the outside market at a whopping 13.0 and better. Man City was excellent last week against Liverpool and blasted four goals past the Reds with relative ease, even without the services of Erling Haaland, who missed the match through injury. With the Norwegian looking likely to return to the lineup, the handicap market looks very tempting, returning 1.8 on the -1 option, while a slightly riskier -2 will return as much as 2.87 on your wager. Even in the event of Haaland not starting from the first whistle, with 42 goals to his name already this season, he would still be expected to register at least once against one of the worst defences in the league, and his backers could be rewarded with as much as 1.6 on their wager for him to net anytime.

Southampton & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Erling Haaland was spotted in first-team training this week and is expected to make a return to the matchday squad, though it’s unclear if he is fully fit to play from the start, especially considering that they have a midweek clash against Bayern Munich in a few days. The only certain absentee for the visitors will be the elegant Englishman Phil Foden, who is still recovering from the appendix surgery he underwent last month. As for Southampton, manager Ruben Selles may have something of an injury crisis on his hands with Mohammed Salisu and Che Adams both still doubtful after missing last week's clash against West Ham, while Armel Bella-Kotchap has been ruled out with a shoulder injury, joining Juan Larios and Tino Livramento who are both likely to remain sidelined for the rest of the season with long-term injuries.
