Why Bet on Manchester City

Manchester City is having a very good start to the Premier League. They are the only unbeaten team with 6 wins and 2 draws (against Newcastle and Aston Villa), and they have the best offensive in the tournament with 29 goals, of which 14 have been from Erling Haaland.

The Norwegian striker arrived this season after his incredible numbers at Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund and here he has increased them. Last weekend he scored 3 goals (and 2 assists) in the derby against Manchester United (6-3) and has 3 hat-tricks in 8 games, achieving a new record in his short career (22 years).

Pep Guardiola knows the machine he has in his team and makes the most of it, that’s why this Saturday he hopes to win to put themselves first, at least until Arsenal play on Sunday. At the moment they are comfortably beating Copenhague in the Champions League.

Why Bet on Southampton

Southampton is having a bad tournament, similar to the previous one, where it was also in the lower part (15th). In this edition, they have 7 points after 2 wins, 1 draw, and 5 losses, curiously those two wins were against important teams like Chelsea (2-1) and Leicester (1-2).

Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl is in the eye of the storm. In addition to the poor results, it seems that the Austrian does not communicate with his players and is being heavily criticized for that. The Saints have 3 losses in a row and 4 in their last 5 games.

Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Southampton

A rather unequal match in which Manchester City will come out at home to overwhelm its rival to take first place from Arsenal and put pressure on it. While Southampton needs to pick up points, it would take a miracle not to leave the Etihad stadium thrashed. However, in the last years, when the Citizens were playing without a “9”, Southampton was regularly a pebble in the shoe.

At MyBookie.ag we find that Manchester City is the clear favorite of the match with a Moneyline of -724, while Southampton has +1600 and the draw is at +790.

The last match between the two teams was on March 20 this year, for the FA Cup quarter-finals, and Manchester City won 1-4 with goals from Raheem Sterling, Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden, and Riyad Mahrez, while for the Premier League they have two consecutive draws in the previous season (1-1 and 0-0). The last time Southampton won was on July 5, 2020, when they beat them 1-0 with a goal from Che Adams.

Go for a straight win for Manchester City in the Moneyline. If you bet $100 on the win at -724, you will gain $14 for a total payout of $114.
