Southampton will be aiming to continue their strong start when they take on Bristol City in the Championship round 7. The Saints come into the game on the back of a convincing 3-1 victory over Swansea City and have big ambitions for the 2026/27 campaign. They are likely to stick to their attacking approach at home, where they have won 75% of their last 10 matches and average an impressive 3.00 goals per game. Summer signing Cyle Larin has already adapted well to his new surroundings and will be the man to watch, with no fresh injury worries for Southampton.
Bristol City, meanwhile, are brimming with confidence after defeating Burnley 2-1 at the weekend, with returnee Yu Hirakawa scoring the winner as a substitute. Hirakawa is now pushing for a starting berth, while there are no fresh injury concerns for the Robins. Bristol have won 40% of their last 10 away games, scoring 2.00 goals per match, although they have conceded 1.60. Notably, BTTS has landed in all five of their recent away fixtures.
As Southampton have turned their St. Mary's into a real fortress (75% of home win), we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Southampton Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (Southampton's home matches average 4.75 goals).
This Championship match will be played on Saturday 12 September 2026 at 15:00.
