Man City vs Southampton Prediction, Waiting for Haaland to Score Again in the Premier League
Jakarta, Beritasatu.com – The Etihad Stadium public really hopes that Manchester City striker Erling Haaland will score another goal in the Premier League when they host Southampton, Saturday (26/10/2024) at 21.00 WIB. The Norwegian striker scored two goals when Pep Guardiola’s team beat the Czech club Slavia Prague, 5-0, in the middle of last week. However, that happened in the Champions League, not the English League.P
In the Premier League competition, Haaland hasn’t found the back of the opponent’s goal for a long time. The last goal for Man City in this championship was scored by the former Borussia Dortmund striker on September 29 2024 when his team drew 2-2 against Arsenal.
He failed to contribute a goal in the Premier League against Newcastle United, Fulham and Wolverhampton Wanderers. One month without scoring a goal is certainly a long time for a striker like Haaland. Moreover, until now he is still at the top of the list of top scorers in the Premier League with a collection of 10 goals.
His success in scoring two goals against Slavia Prague in the middle of last week will be fuel for Haaland to score goals again in England’s most prestigious competition.
Two Man City players, Jack Grealish and Jeremy Doku, missed the midweek win over Sparta Prague. The two are joined on the injury list by Kevin De Bruyne, Rodri, Oscar Bobb and Kyle Walker. Matheus Nunes is pushing to emerge as the starter after a stellar performance this week.
In the Southampton camp, Yukinari Sugawara is doubtful. Meanwhile, Gavin Bazunu, Ross Stewart and Will Smallbone will all be absent. Jack Stephens returns from suspension, and his availability may see Russell Martin return to a back three. Ryan Fraser is suspended after his red card against Leicester City.
Manchester City extended their unbeaten start to the season with a resounding 5-0 win over Sparta Prague in the Champions League. The defending champions have won four times in a row ahead of the match against Southampton on Saturday (26/10/2024).
Southampton gave up 2-3 at home when they hosted Leicester City last week. The Saints sit second bottom in the Premier League and are one of four teams yet to win this season. It is believed that Man City will achieve a big victory in this party.
