There is one lone English Premier League match taking place on Wednesday night and it sees top of the table Manchester City taking on Southampton currently sitting 14, we take a look at the game from a betting angle.
City’s incredible winning run was finally brought to an end on the weekend when they lost 2-0 at home to Manchester United. That was only their second home defeat of the season and their first in their last 15 home matches.
Looking at goal stats, City have played 15 matches at home and out of those 15 games they surprisingly delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers. Their home games averaged 2.8 goals each and City scored an average of just under 3 goals to their opponents 1.
Southampton ended a horrible run without a victory when they beat Sheffield United 2-0 away last time out. They previously had taken just 1 point out of a possible 27. Southampton have won 4 out of 14 away matches and their away games average 3.1 goals each with 8 of the 14 matches coming in at 2 goals or less.
City edged Southampton 1-0 on the road in the reverse fixture and their last 3 victories over Southampton have been by 1 goal margins, although back in 2018 they won this fixture 6-1.

Manchester City 1/5
Draw 25/4
Southampton 15/1
Suggested Bet: First 10 minutes 3 way, Man City to lead at 67/20
I am expecting a bounce back from City and I quite like this bet which requires them to score in the first 10 minutes and obviously not to concede against Southampton. I am expecting a fast start as they put the Manchester United defeat behind them.
Another bet I fancy is Manchester City to score 3 goals or more in the game at a price of 17/20 and if you are looking to goal scorers how about a bit of Gabriel Jesus at 12/10 to score at any time.
