Overwhelming favorites to win their fifth straight match, Manchester City has also won nine of their last ten competitive home fixtures against Southampton (D1), covering a -1 handicap on six occasions. Additionally, the ‘Sky Blues’ have scored an average of 3.38 goals in their home matches so far this season.
hen they win, they win big – all of City’s seven PL wins this season have been by at least a two-goal margin. In fact, this is true of their last 14 competitive victories (excluding extra-time/penalties). Indeed, their last ten competitive games have now been decided by a margin of at least two goals (W9, L1).
