Southampton – Manchester City : Preview & Prediction
Southampton, only 12th in the standings, has only 5 wins in 21 days!. A balance sheet very much lower than the expectations of the leaders of the Saints who should live a second part of the season without much relief. Broja’s partners (5 goals) have just lost on January 15 on the lawn of Wolverhampton (3-1) a few days after a complicated qualification at Swansea (3-2 aet) in the 1/32nd final of the FA Cup and 1 easy success at home in front of Brentford (4-1). A victory at St. Mary’s Stadium which is good after consecutively sharing the points in front of Leicester (2-2), against Brighton (1-1) and against Tottenham (1-1). Manchester City, deprived of Mahrez who went to the CAN, intends to chain a 9th victory in a row, Premier League and FA Cup included. Since the start of this year, the Mancunians have won their 3 matches at Arsenal (2-1), Swindon (4-1) in the FA Cup and against Chelsea (1-0) last weekend. Victorious in their last 4 trips (Newcastle, Brentford, Arsenal, Swindon), Pep Guardiola’s protégés are aiming for a 5th good performance in a row away from the Etihad Stadium.
