Expert Betting Tips

• In seven of Southampton's last eight matches, both teams scored.
• At least three goals were scored in five of the Saints' last six appearances.
• Ten or fewer corners have been taken in Man City's last five games.

Southampton ended a terrible streak of EPL performances with a victory over Crystal Palace in the FA Cup. However, more than that is needed to make the Saints a worthy opponent for Pep Guardiola's side, who have been improving with every match after the break. We expect there to be no surprises here. The Citizens will shoot at least three goals, and their advantage will be too large.
