Manchester United vs. Southampton
Saturday, February 12, 2022 – 7:30 AM EST at Old Trafford
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Manchester United is undefeated in 46 of their last 55 EPL games
- Southampton have lost just 1 of their last 6 fixtures in all competitions
- Southampton have scored at least 1 goal in 8 consecutive games
- Manchester United have scored at least 1 goal in their previous 5 games
Both Teams to Score Banker
Two squads with contrasting midweek results return to action for the Premier Leagues early morning fixture when Southampton visit the hallowed grounds of Old Trafford, where an unpredictable Manchester United side lay in wait.
After watching Southampton struggle to handle Coventry in the FA Cup, expectations heading into the Tottenham Hotspur stadium midweek weren't high. However, in a shocking turn of events, the Saint's overcame a 2-1 deficit to leave North London with a 3-2 success and all three points.
Southampton is no stranger to defeating Big Six teams, as witnessed during the midweek EPL schedule. However, we can't neglect the facts, and the Saints have conceded at least two goals in their previous eight away trips – owning the word goals conceded record in the division (26).
Basement dwellers Burnley held Manchester United to a draw as a long consecutive streak of underwhelming results continued for Ralf Rangnick and his inconsistent squad. With Arsenal and Tottenham creeping on United's crucial Champions League qualification spot, the race for a top-four finish heats up, and the Red Devils cannot afford to drop any more points.
Final Thoughts| Premier League Matchday 25 Betting Odds
With momentum in their favor and three glorious goals scored in hostile territory midweek, Southampton should have the juices to provide at least another goal in their back-to-back travels versus Big Six clubs. In addition, Manchester United will feel confident they can add to Southampton's terrible defensive record when playing away from home.
Sportsbooks aren't offering the most significant value, but the -170 price tag on both teams to score at Old Trafford is too tempting, especially when considering each side's recent goal-scoring trends.
Manchester United vs. Southampton Score Prediction: Manchester United 2 – Southampton 1

Norwich City vs. Manchester City
Saturday, February 12, 2022 -12:30 PM EST at Carrow Road
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Manchester City have scored 13 goals in their previous 6 games
- Manchester City have won 8 of their previous 10 fixtures in all competitions
- Norwich City lost the reverse fixture 5-0
Routine Kick-About for Manchester City
Both Norwich City and Manchester City are in-form, but as they sit at opposite ends of the table, it's tough to discredit the attacking prowess of Manchester City.
The reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium saw Pep Guardiola's side dismantle their opponents this weekend, and since this meeting, the Citizens have reproduced countless results of similar dominance.
The EPL champions are sailing towards a consecutive title win, and it's unlikely that Norwich will put a dampener on this impressive run of results. Norwich has undoubtedly fixed their early-season woes; they've managed to rise from rock bottom where most of the 2021/22 season has been spent but are still positioned in the relegation zone.
Final Thoughts| Premier League Matchday 25 Betting Odds
This fixture doesn't require too much overthinking; a routine victory for Manchester City should be on the cards. Even with the possibility of a rotated squad because of Guardiola's midweek Champions League duties, the depth and strength of his bench have the capabilities of severely penetrating the Norwich defense.
The sportsbooks aren't providing much value on the Manchester City moneyline, and it's challenging to find a worthy wager in most markets. With that said, winning both halves provides plus-money value, a highly possible position for this Saturday's visitors to Carrow Road.
Norwich City vs. Manchester City Score Prediction: Norwich City 1 – Manchester City 4
Soccer Pick: Manchester City win both halves (+110) [2.10] [1u wager returns 1.10u of profit] with Everygame
