Might Need A Half-Time Pep Talk
An away victory would certainly be shock of the season but the Saints held City till the 90th minute of both league meetings last term. They're defending well for the most part, especially in the first half of matches.
With Manchester City nothing longer than 1/8 shots to win at home to Southampton today the trick has to be finding a way to make better money off the seemingly inevitable outcome.
The recommended route would be backing the champions to seal the deal in the second period. Back ‘Half-time: Draw - Full-time: Man City’ at best odds of 4/1 with BetVictor.
For the many doubters out there who can’t see Southampton putting up any kind of fight consider that the Saints held City until the 90th minute of both fixtures last season.
This term, though painfully short of goals, Hughes’ team have shown some defensive fortitude and have kept two clean sheets on the bounce. Indeed they haven’t conceded in the first half of 7 of 10 league games to this point.
The presumption of a demolition job could be wrong here and we have the price to chance our arm.
