Southampton vs Manchester City Match Preview

Southampton is ranked at third place with 24 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. It has been a great season for them as only Liverpool and Tottenham have done better than them so far and it seems like they could aim for at least a spot in Europa League this year.

With 25 goals scored they have the third-best offensive side in the league averaging almost two goals per game and in the last five matches, they have scored nine goals managing to find the back of the net at least once in each outing. At home, they have scored with consistency in every league game this season.

Manchester City, on the other hand, is ranked at 9th place with 20 points and comes after two wins two draws and a loss over the last five matches. It has been a slow start for them as they already sit eight points behind Liverpool and can't tolerate any more false steps.

In the last five matches, they scored eight goals averaging almost two goals per game but the best news is that Aguero is back from his injury and is expected to start here. They definitely need his experience upfront considering the poor form Gabriel Jesus has shown. They have won four of the last five h2h games against Southampton while scoring at least two goals in each of them.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Southampton is playing quite good l this season and at home, I fancy them to score a goal against Manchester City that has been struggling a bit. Manchester City will aim for all three points here as they are also one game short and could put pressure on Liverpool and Tottenham.
