On Sunday, Manchester City faced off against the Wolves and they were able to secure the 2-1 victory. Manchester City had 78 percent of the possession and seven shots on target.

Southampton Betting Preview

Southampton comes into this game sitting in 19th place in the standings having picked up only one point so far this season. Southampton in the last game faced off against Leicester City and it looked like they were going to pick up a point until they gave up a goal in the 98th minute and ended up losing.

 Manchester City vs Southampton Prediction

Manchester City’s offense is going put on a show here. Manchester City in the midweek game scored five goals and I think they can get close to that number again here. Southampton’s offense is going to really struggle to get any sort of offense going, and this game is going to get ugly early here. Manchester City is going to have no issue getting the job done. Back Manchestter City -2.5.
