Southampton v City: perfect home run meets unbeaten away form | OneFootball

Southampton host Bristol City in the Championship on Saturday, 12 September 2026 at St Mary's Stadium, with the hosts chasing a top half push and the visitors looking to strengthen their play-off bid.

Southampton and Bristol City meet with City seventh and the hosts 13th in the latest table. The last league meeting at St Mary's ended 2-2 in April.

Saints have won all three home league games and across six matches have 14 goals, 58% possession and 85.94% passing accuracy. City are unbeaten away with seven points from three trips, including victories at Preston North End and Burnley.

The Saints list Mads Roerslev and Caspar Jander as injured, while The Robins are without Luke McNally.

Cyle Larin is joint top of the scorers chart with five for the hosts, while Finn Azaz has two goals and two assists. City's Rio Cardines leads the assists ranking on four, and with 72.38% passing accuracy, 114 aerial duels won and 40.82% shooting accuracy, The Robins could look to sit compact, attack space and exploit deliveries into the box.

A win would move Saints to 10 points and could lift them towards the top half. Victory would take City to 13 points and could nudge them into the top six, reinforcing their play-off push.
