Southampton are the clear favorites in this match, as the "Saints" are fighting for second place and a direct return to the Premier League, bypassing the playoffs. The hosts are in incredible form – eight wins in a row, including a recent upset in the FA Cup (a 2-1 win over Arsenal). However, Southampton's defense has sometimes left much to be desired, and the team occasionally gets carried away, exposing its defensive line.
Bristol City are in the middle of the league table, alternating wins and losses. The team lacks defensive organization, but they consistently score (54 goals in 43 matches), but have conceded more – 55 goals.
You can bet on a total of three goals, as only Southampton can break that threshold, but we expect a goal-scoring streak, as Bristol City have looked convincing in recent away games.
