Manchester City, the giants of the English Premier League, once again launched a fierce attack against the "Saints" known as Southampton. With a clear difference in strength between the two teams, Man City is not only fighting for three points, but also for a feast of goals in front of their home fans' fervor. It seems that Southampton may be hard to resist in the half time, the median of 1.5 goals in half time is trustworthy.
However, even though City are the dominant force in the EPL, their defense has been a sore point for them this season, especially in the first half, which has been lost for 7 consecutive games. I firmly believe that coach Gaudio will make a series of adjustments to the defense. The secret to City's victory lies in their unrivaled attacking power, with 6 of their past 7 league matches totaling more than 2 goals in a half.
Norwegian marksman Einin Charlante's performance in the UEFA Europa League was tough but showed his bravery. Despite the absence of central midfielder Chiyun Dibny due to injury, City still have a number of fierce players such as Phil Cotton, Stones and Gowasi, whose goal-scoring ability will make their opponents defenseless.
The visitors, Southampton, are still without a win in 8 matches in the Premier League and are currently ranked 19th in the league, having lost their last three matches in the league, conceding at least three goals in each of them, and their tofu-like defense has been their Achilles' heel. Against the mighty Manchester City, this match seems to be a no-win situation. Expect City to extend their lead quickly after half-time, and a 1.5 goal half-time bet would be a wise choice.
