Manchester City vs Southampton Prediction: 26/10/2024

Manchester City have dominated their recent home matches, securing five wins in their last seven Premier League games and suffering only one loss in their previous ten. In contrast, Southampton have struggled away from home, losing four of their last six top-flight away matches.

Manchester City have been consistently involved in high-scoring home games, with each of their last 35 Premier League matches at the Etihad featuring over 2.5 goals. Southampton, on the other hand, have also been part of entertaining contests, with just one of their last 20 Premier League games ending in a goalless draw.

In their last 15 away Premier League fixtures, Southampton have only been involved in a few matches where both teams scored. Given that Manchester City have kept clean sheets in 13 of their last 20 home games, it’s likely they will manage another shutout in this encounter.

 

Prediction

Southampton have gone 12 games without a win in the Premier League and have suffered two consecutive defeats since returning from the winter break. Meanwhile, Manchester City are riding high, having picked up 18 points from their last seven matches, and they will be feeling confident.

Prediction: Manchester City 3 : 0 Southampton
