Manchester City has a very good performance in the upcoming matches so they bring a good result of goals in every match. We know Manchester City will win here with their high performance and strong play if they face Southampton. Although currently Manchester City is not showing any flaws in their game, even though De Bruyne is absent, Manchester City are performing at their best in every match and scoring goals brilliantly. De Bruyne has contributed a lot and his presence in the team is very important, but the way the team is playing now, they will surely perform well in the next few matches. Anyway, as Southampton are going to face Manchester City today in this match we can confirm that Manchester City will win this match, the team is undefeated so far in the second position of the points table.
Southampton is one of the weakest teams in the Premier League, only one point after 8 rounds, weak defense, so for City they should not be a problem even without De Bruyne and Walker. By the way, sensations happen in such matches, where the favorite seems more than obvious, but I think that City will not allow this today and will win by scoring 2-3 goals. I remember recently watching how Southampton played Manchester United, and even against such a weak Manchester their defense was not able to withstand. Maybe it even makes sense to think about betting on Haaland to score.
I can't agree with you on this. Manchester City is favored to win the game. But, I swear they will struggle to beat Soton. I expect they'll face 10 men in the box. They may struggle to score. Their league stats are better in term of GD compared to Soton. But, it's always tough to play against a low-block team.
Manchester City is 2nd, and Soton is in the relegation zone. But, a relegated team can be hard to beat. However, I don't care much about their winning methods. I accept it won't be beautiful football against a low-block team. As long as they just win the game, that's fine.
