LiontipsManchester City - Southampton: betting tip (cf 1.85) and bets on the FA Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Manchester City is betting on a three-title hat-trick at the end of the season. The citizens have already won the League Cup, reached the semi-finals in the FA Cup, and caught up with Arsenal in the Premier League and topped the standings, although they are only ahead of the Londoners in additional indicators. The winning streak of Josep Guardiola's players, taking into account all the tournaments, reached the five-match mark. This series started with the League Cup final, when they defeated Arsenal (2-0). This was followed by a crushing victory over Liverpool in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup (4-0). Undoubtedly, the biggest success was the 2-1 win over the Gunners in the Premier League, when they managed to realize their attacking chances better than the opponent.

Current form
Southampton have improved a lot over the course of the season and are currently on a 20-match winless streak, taking into account all tournaments.

Obviously, you definitely shouldn't underestimate the current Southampton.

Tip and bets
Manchester City has a significant advantage in class and it is unlikely that the citizens will allow themselves to misfire today. However, we are not expecting an easy walk for them at Wembley. The schedule of matches is tight now, rotation cannot be avoided. Southampton has been in excellent shape for a long time, going on a winless streak of 20 matches, taking into account all tournaments. In the Cup, the saints have victories over Fulham and Arsenal, and the players will obviously not have any jitters in front of a famous opponent. We believe that Southampton will be able to avoid a major defeat today.
Our betting tip is for Southampton to win with an Asian handicap (+2) for a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the total
Due to the tangible advantage in the class, even taking into account the possible rotation of the squad, the townspeople are able to score their own goal. At the same time, you can't get past Southampton, which is the second team in the Championship in scoring goals, and in the Cup it has already hit the gates of both Fulham and Arsenal. We expect that there will be an exchange of goals scored in the semi-final battle at Wembley.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.87
Betting on corners
Manchester City has nine corner wins in the previous ten matches. Obviously, the townspeople will spend a lot of time at someone else's gate today and will make noticeably more serves from the corner flag than the opponent.
Prediction – Manchester City win on corners with a handicap (-4.5) with a coefficient of 1.81
