Manchester City v Southampton Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Sunday 04^th November 2018 (kick-off 3 PM)

On Sunday afternoon, Manchester City host Southampton at the Etihad Stadium in the Premier League.

City have started the campaign as they finished last season by winning games. Southampton have found wins a little harder to come by and have won just once in the top-flight this season.

The Citizens have won 12 of their last 15 games in the top-flight, including eight of their opening ten games this season. Pep Guardiola’s side are famous for their attacking prowess, but it’s at the other end of the pitch where the Citizens have impressed of late, keeping clean sheets in their last six league outings.

Unsurprisingly, the men from Manchester have also won their last six league games on home soil, while registering at least two goals in each match.

Top Football Bookmakers

Southampton heads into this game on the back of a five-game winless run in the top-flight. In fact, the Saints have taken just seven points from their opening ten league games.

Mark Hughes’ side has produced goalless draws in their last two games against Bournemouth and last time out Newcastle.

A lack of goals has been a major headache for the visitors, as they have not scored in their last five outings in the top-flight.

Prediction

Home win and/or over 2.5 goals
