Bet on Manchester City to win
Manchester City are somewhat weakened this season without the presence of Rodri. Rodri was their best player last season as they sailed to a fourth consecutive Premier League title. The midfielder was also Spain’s best player at Euro 2024 as La Roja won the continental title. Nevertheless, Southampton are not one of the teams that are expected to cause the Cityzens serious problems. City have home advantage for this game and are also a better team than Southampton on all areas of the field. Pep Guardiola’s side should sail to a win in this clash.
Bet on Manchester City to win 2-0
City have won three out of their last four games against Southampton. They did lose 2-0 to Southampton in an FA Cup clash back in January 2023 but did not field their best players for this game. City will defend cautiously in this game as they will know that while Southampton are not the best team around, their defence could be tested at times in this game due to the absence of star midfielder Rodri.
Bet on Erling Haaland to score
The Norway international has not been scoring for fun lately. Even though he is far from having a goal drought, this is not the best time for him. He will be hungry to change that against Southampton and will look to get himself into good spaces in this game to give himself a good chance of scoring. City players will also look to pick out Haaland. They will know that getting their star man into good form needs to be done sooner rather than later.
