Manchester City vs Southampton 08.10.2022

Manchester City have started the season like a house on fire and indications are that it will take a lot to stop Pep Guardiola’s team. The Citizens have won their last five games, plundering 20 goals in the process. Notable among those wins is the 6-3 drubbing of Manchester United, which was followed by another convincing 5-0 win over FC Copenhagen in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Southampton are struggling at the moment and their 1-2 defeat at the hands of Everton sums up their unimpressive start to the season. The Saints have only one win from their last five games with a poor record of four losses in the same period. While they have been struggling to get going up front, they have also been leaky at the back.

City, on the other hand, are scoring for fun. The trio of Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Erling Halaand have struck an incredible attacking unit which will be too strong for the home side. Therefore, we are backing City to win with three or more goals.
