Manchester City widely expected to beat Southampton

Southampton and Manchester City go head-to-head at the St. Mary´s Stadium this Wednesday in the League Cup.

Southampton head into this clash on the back of a 1x2 win against Crystal Palace (The FA Cup 2022/23), whilst the visitors had a fantastic 4x0 win over Chelsea (The FA Cup 2022/23).

Specifically in the St. Mary´s Stadium, Nathan Jones's team has the advantage in the duels against Manchester City: 21 wins in 49 games. Pep Guardiola's team has 16 wins.

Considering only the League Cup, there have been six games played between the two teams, with 3 wins for Southampton, 2 draws and 1 win for Manchester City.

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Manchester City winning 4x0. Pep Guardiola's team is given the favouritism to win this match.
