Man City vs Southampton Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Manchester City vs Southampton betting tips and predictions for this weekend’s Sunday Premier League fixture including the best odds for our tipsters’ bets.

 

Manchester City have had a tough few weeks, but can they reverse their poor recent run against Southampton? With a trip to Manchester United just around the corner, they could do with a morale boosting victory. However, the Saints have hit some good form themselves.

 

Man City vs Southampton Predictions

 

It’s been a pretty tough few weeks for Manchester City, their poor run of form has seen their lead at the top cut to just one point. They could potentially go in to this game off the top of the table, if results on Saturday go against them. It’s a big change for the one time champions elect. However, Southampton aren’t having the same problems. They’ve had a mini-revival after a slow start to the season. They’ve conceded just twice in their last eight games, losing just one of those matches. Since the visitors are in fantastic form, we’re backing them to claim a draw at 18/5 with Bet Victor for our first Man City vs Southampton betting tip.

Anytime Goalscorer Tips

Charlie Austin has been a huge part of Southampton’s recent run. The forward, who joined in January, finally seems up to speed with his new team. He’s shown that by hitting seven goals in his last six starts. He scored his first goal in eight months for the club against Sparta Prague, and that kicked off their turnaround. With City’s defence in disarray, we’re backing the former QPR man to score any time here, at 11/4 with Coral.

Man City vs Southampton Team News

City are without full-backs Pablo Zabaleta and Bacary Sagna here, with Fabian Delph a doubt. Yaya Toure is still not part of Guardiola’s plan, so he’s set to miss out. Shane Long is still unavailable for the Saints, while defenders Cedric Soares and Matt Targett are also likely to sit out. Nathan Redmond and Ryan Bertrand could both return.

 

Head to Head Stats

City dominate the recent head to head between these two, winning four of the last six meetings. Southampton have managed to score in five of their last six trips to the City of Manchester Stadium. Given City’s defensive form, you can see them doing so again on Sunday.

 

Manchester City vs Southampton Betting Odds

Despite their recent troubles, City are 1/2 favourites here with Bet365. Pep Guardiola’s side aren’t really in the kind of shape to deserve such short odds. Plus, Saints are looking strong at the moment, especially defensively. We’re backing them to pick up the result Everton managed last weekend. A 1-1 draw on Sunday is 8/1 with William Hill.
