Southampton vs Arsenal Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 25th May 2025

Southampton enjoy home advantage, when visitors Arsenal swing by this coming Sunday for a clash in the Premier League. The former will be looking to make that home advantage count.

Sitting bottom of the table, The Saints have claimed 12 points after 37 rounds, while The Gunners have amassed 71 points. This places the latter as number 2 in the Premier League at the moment.

Southampton are out to avenge a disappointing loss against Arsenal in their most recent meeting. According to the bookmakers, the home side could be in for another tough ride, though as it looks like an fairly unequal pairing at St. Mary's Stadium.

The latest encounter between these two teams was a belter of a 3-1 match. Are we in for a similar goal-fest on Sunday?

Southampton vs Arsenal Prediction

Southampton Form

Only a single draw prevents Southampton from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short in a 2-0 defeat against Leicester, before drawing 0-0 with Manchester City. They came up empty-handed once again when Everton ran out as 2-0 winners. Southampton did not win any of their last six Premier League matches at the St. Mary's Stadium. They came through these matches with a record of two draws and four defeats, in which they conceded 12 and scored three goals.

Many people had Southampton down as candidates for the drop before the season, but rescue is still within reach, as the season nears its end.

Arsenal Form

Arsenal have a single win and a draw to show from their past three matches. First, they went down 2-1 against Paris Saint-Germain, before picking up a 2-2 draw against Liverpool. Their latest match brought a 1-0 win in their encounter with Newcastle. Arsenal won twice, while also recording four draws, and zero defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says four goals conceded and ten scored.

Arsenal and Southampton seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues on Sunday, as we aim for both teams to score.

Arsenal took nine wins and 28 points in the previous 11 encounters with opponents from the bottom six of the Premier League, as they scored 25 goals while also allowing eight against.
