Manchester City vs Southampton (Premier League)

In this afternoon at 15:30 will take place duel between Manchester City and Southampton, following the two to meet on ‘Etihad Stadium’, where I expect a match in which the home team will come out winning.

Manchester City is undoubtedly the favorite this showdowns, with its share value, and experience the lot is an advantage and that will evolve on their own land, where not lost more than half a year. “Citizens” had a home stormy season in the first ten official games played in all competitions only managed wins series being interrupted by a draw achieved on the ground at Celtic, losing then with Tottenham in the league, having drawn against Everton in last game suffered a bitter defeat in the Champions League, losing 4-0 on “Camp Nou”, where Messi caught a fantastic day out, scoring three goals and providing care empty.

In the eight rounds so far, City managed to collect 19 points after six wins and a draw, losing only once in those matches scoring 19 goals, getting only eight.

Southampton on the other side is seen as outsiders by bookmakers, as was expected, though being a team with a lot lower its adversary. Although lacking stars, “saints” are a beautiful figure, both in the league and in European competition at this time is in eighth place in the championship standings English, while in Europa League ranks second in Group K, with great chances to advance in the competition sixteenths. The band’s Claude Puel had a season started poorly in the first four stages of the championship winning only two points, having drawn against Watford and Sunderland at home, losing to Arsenal and Manchester United away, linking but then four matches without failure in which they defeated teams like Swansea, West Ham or Burnley, ending in a tie with Leicester, the defending champions. In the eight rounds so far Southampton scored ten goals and received only seven, with a defense better than the opponent.
