Southampton take on Manchester City at St Mary's Stadium on the EPL matchday 36. Manuel Pellegrini’s side are battling in two competitions at once. They clash with Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinal and they also compete with Arsenal for the third position in the Premier League standings.
While Manchester City have been struggling to find energy to play in two tournaments, Southampton are just waiting for the season to end. Ronald Koeman’s side hope to take 5th spot, but they don’t have many chances to succeed. The Saints played 35 games and they have 54 points earned. On top of that, they are 5 points behind Manchester United, who is in the Europa League zone now and have one game at hand. Overall, Southampton are having quite strange season, they had their ups and downs, but still they deserve to be on the 8th spot.

Manchester City is a different story. But still Pellegrini is handling is quite well. Their first game against Real Madrid ended in goalless draw, which wasn’t victory, but it’s optimistic. The Citizens only one objective in the EPL to take 3rd place and they have great chances to do this.
Manchester City’s footballers proved they can manage to show solid performance in both competitions. Southampton in turn have quite questionable motivation for the game. Surely Koeman’s side will try their best, but it doesn’t mean they will be victorious.
Prediction: Manchester City to win with (+0.5) Asian handicap.
