Southampton - Manchester City betting tips and odds

Kickoff starts at 17:30 on 08/04/2023 played @ St. Mary's Stadium refereed by Robert Jones

With most bookies pricing a home win at 13.00, this is one of the more lopsided matches of the season. Needless to say, Southampton don’t stand much of a chance at coming out on top.

A trip to Southampton can hardly be seen as a big test for Manchester City. With 1.29 betting odds stacked in their favour, it’s hard seeing past anything other than a compelling away win here.

Southampton lost their previous away game, although the narrow 1:0 margin means it’s nothing to be ashamed of. After all, West Ham United , their opponents, were given odds of 1.78 for a victory. They pulled ahead in the first half and Southampton never managed to equalize.

The last time we saw The Sky Blues in the Premier League they played at home against Liverpool. They failed to get a clear lead for more than half the game’s runtime, but completely dominated the second half which resulted in the 4:1 score at the end.

We’re not very likely to see a lot of excitement in a matchup like this, but you never know. To illustrate, Southampton recorded two consecutive away games with less than 2 goals overall.

City don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

Southampton are in front of an important test this Saturday. The 13.00 odds on home win are not exactly promising but miracles do happen. That’s exactly what The Saints fans will be hoping for against The Citizens as their team continues to struggle.

Down by 8 points behind the leaders, The Sky Blues are getting ready to make an additional push in the title chase. Currently in 2nd place, they are holding a Champions League spot but with more than enough games to be played until the end of the season, they are not ready to give up the fight.

City are widely considered the favourites despite playing on Southampton’s home turf, and a quick look at the history of this matchup explain’s why. In the previous season, City handily won a match between the two teams with a hefty goal lead.

Fortunately, none of the teams’ players has been injured or suspended recently. With their full lineups at their disposal, we’re in for an exciting match.

Sadly, we can’t get good value here and still stay cautious. An HT/FT bet for Draw/Away is the best option due to the visitor’s tendency to stumble in the first half.
