Southampton VS Manchester City Match Prediction
- 2020-12-19

Manchester City will win this match.
Che Adams’ goal was enough to earn Southampton a rare win against Manchester City last time they met, as he lobbed Ederson from distance. It was just the Saints’ second win in this fixture since 2013. City had previously won 2-1 at home in November courtesy of Kyle Walker’s late winner, while Sergio Aguero scored twice in a 3-1 Carabao Cup win the previous week. Here are the results of their last five matches:
Jul 05, 2020: Southampton 1-0 Manchester City
Nov 02, 2019: Manchester City 2-1 Southampton
Oct 29, 2019: Manchester City 3-1 Southampton
Dec 30, 2018: Southampton 1-3 Manchester City
Nov 04, 2018: Manchester City 6-1 Southampton
Despite their indifferent form, Manchester City are still favourites for this one. They can be backed at 12/25 to win with 888sport.
The own goal against West Brom was a rare goal conceded for City this season – their first in more than ten hours. Betting against both teams to score will return a best price of 5/4 with 888sport.
Sergio Aguero scored three goals against Southampton last season and, as he looks to recapture his goalscoring form after injury, he is 10/11 with Betway to score at any time.
Manchester City have been far from convincing this season, especially in recent away games, but victory in this game will at least ensure they remain well placed in the table.
Having dropped more points in mid-week, Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City travel to Southampton in the Premier League, knowing they need a win to start closing the gap to the top four again. The match, at St. Mary’s Stadium, kicks off at 15:00 local time on Saturday December 19.
