Southampton v Manchester City Betting Tips [10 May 2025]

Manchester City have the chance to close in on second place in the Premier League when they travel to Southampton. Going into this matchday 36 encounter, City are third in the standings and the Saints bottom. We have a prediction for this match below.

Southampton have already been relegated and will not be able to finish higher than 20th. For the Saints, therefore, this is just a formality as they prepare for life in the Championship.

They’ve managed just two wins all season, and the 2-0 loss to Leicester City last time out was their 28th league defeat. That was the fourth time in 10 league matches that they failed to score.

Calm has returned at Manchester City, and they are once again posting impressive results. They still need six points from the nine available to secure Champions League football.

It means, therefore, they hit form at the right time. The former champions are coming here having bagged five straight wins and are unbeaten in nine matches. In league action, City have registered four wins in four and have four clean sheets in the last six matches.

With the league title gone, City only have the FA Cup to fight for, and this will be a good warmup ahead of the final, which follows next.

Southampton are not just the team with the fewest wins in the Premier League but are also the lowest scorers. They are set to finish the league season at the bottom of the standings. A match against Manchester City, who are still fighting for a place in the top five, isn’t one they can easily squeeze points from.

City have stabilized and are coming here doing well both defensively and in attack. They have five straight wins and five clean sheets in seven matches. Our prediction for Southampton v Manchester City is for Manchester City to win to nil.
