Manchester City continued their blistering start to the 2024/25 season midweek, cruising to a 5-0 victory over Sparta Prague in the UEFA Champions League, making it four consecutive wins. Their latest Premier League triumph came in heart-stopping fashion, snatching a last-gasp 95th-minute winner against Wolves on the road last weekend. Now, Pep Guardiola’s side returns to the Etihad, aiming to extend their remarkable 31-game unbeaten league run – the longest in the club’s history.
In stark contrast, Southampton fans are watching their side struggle after returning to the Premier League. Despite leading 2-0 against fellow relegation contender Leicester City, the Saints capitulated to a 3-2 loss in the 98th minute, leaving them winless after their opening eight matches and sitting second from bottom in the table.
Given Southampton’s recent form and City’s current momentum, it’s hard to look past a City victory here, likely by at least a two-goal margin.
The odds on a City win stand at 1/10 – nothing crazy, but it feels like “easy money.”
