In my opinion Manchester City is clear favorite of today's match up and they should be able to make comfortable win with at least 2 goals margin. -1.5 AH looks like great bet to play.

City coming here with huge mental advantage as they won last two matches against Southampton with at least 3 goals difference, so why not today?

City loves to play in this competition - since 2015/2016 they won EFL Cup 5 times. I expect good motivation to win and strong line up. Only defender Ruben Dias is unavailable today. City is in great mood and full of confidence after huge win 4:0 at home against Chelsea. For sure they wants to go with momentum today.

Southampton is on last position in league table and I'm not sure EFL Cup is their priority. They looking so unstable at the back. In 9 home league matches they conceded 16 goals. Today they are without defender Bella-Kotchap. According to the ratings it's second-best player in whole team. In those circumstances I can easily imagine more than 2 goals for Citizens today.

Man City -1.5 looks like best possible bet to play here.

在我看来，曼城在今天的比赛中是最受欢迎的，他们应该能够以至少2球的优势轻松取胜。-1.5 AH看起来是个不错的赌注。

曼城带着巨大的精神优势来到这里，因为他们在前两场对阵南安普顿的比赛中至少赢了3球，所以为什么今天不呢?

曼城喜欢参加这项比赛——自2015/2016年以来，他们赢得了5次EFL杯。我希望有足够的动力去赢得比赛，并且有强大的阵容。只有后卫鲁本·迪亚斯今天缺阵。在主场4:0大胜切尔西后，曼城心情大好，信心满满。毫无疑问，他们今天想要保持势头。

南安普顿在积分榜上排名最后，我不确定EFL杯是他们的首要任务。他们的后背看起来很不稳定。在9场主场联赛中，他们丢了16球。今天他们缺少了后卫贝拉-科切普。根据收视率，他是全队第二好的球员。在这种情况下，我可以很容易地想象出《公民》的两个以上目标。

曼城-1.5看起来是这里最好的赌注。
