Southampton vs Manchester City
Southampton, buoyed by their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 1-2 FA Cup success against Crystal Palace.
In that game, Southampton managed 45% possession and 6 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. For Southampton, goals were scored by James Ward-Prowse (37') and Adam Armstrong (68'). Crystal Palace got 14 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Odsonne Édouard (14') scored for Crystal Palace.
At least three goals per match have been seen in 5 of the past 6 fixtures in which Southampton have taken part. Their opponents scored 11 times in this period whereas Southampton totted up 7. Regardless, we’ll just have to find out whether that trend will be replicated in this match.
Manchester City will go into this encounter after a 4-0 FA Cup win over Chelsea in their previous outing.
In that match, Manchester City had 58% possession and 9 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. For Manchester City, the goals were scored by Riyad Mahrez (23', 85'), Julián Álvarez (30') and Phil Foden (38'). Chelsea had 3 shots on goal with 1 on target.
Throughout their previous half-dozen clashes, Manchester City has helped themselves to the sum of 13 goals. Manchester City has also managed to score in every single one of those games. During those fixtures, their defenders have seen 6 goals go into their net.
I feel that in this game, Southampton would be disappointed if they were not to get a goal against this Manchester City team, but one goal possibly won’t be good enough.
I am therefore anticipating both teams to score in a 1-2 winning score for Manchester City by the conclusion of the game. There looks to be little in this one.
