LiontipsManchester City vs Southampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (September 18, 2021).
Command Analysis
Last season Manchester City won the English Premier League title but lost in the final of the Champions League. Any other club would consider that a major success, but not Man City, who will attempt winning the Champions League this year.
At the start of the new season, Pep Guardiola's men lost the Community Shield to Leicester (0:1) and were defeated by Tottenham in the first round of the Premier League (0:1). But after a bad start, the defending champions chalked up three clean sheet victories over Norwich (5:0), Arsenal (5:0), and Leicester (1:0).
City's start in the Champions League was amazing. The Sky-Blues defeated RB Leipzig in a 6:3 thriller. Currently, they lead their group.
Manchester City will be without Laporte, Delap, Mendy, Ederson, and Stones.
Last year, Southampton gave the worst Premier League performance in defense. The team finished 12th in the table. In the summer, the board spent a lot of money on transfers; the Saints signed Adam Amstrong from Blackburn (17.7 million), Romain Perraud from Brest (12 million), and Tino Livramento (5.9 million).
In the first round of the League Cup, Soton crushed Newport (8:0). But the Saints haven't won any games in the Premier League so far. They were defeated in the first round and then drew in the last three games with Manchester United (1:1), Newcastle (2:2), and West Ham (0:0). Southampton are 14th in the table.
