Southampton vs Tottenham Prediction

Southampton Form

A single point is all Southampton can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 1-1 draw with Brighton, before getting trounced 1-5 against Chelsea while Aston Villa won 1-0. Southampton just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the St. Mary's Stadium. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored seven and conceded 15 goals.

Tottenham Form

A single draw prevents Tottenham from having nothing to show for their previous three games. They came up short, losing by 1-0 and 3-4 against Bournemouth and Chelsea, respectively. Their latest match brought some consolation, as they were able to hang on for a 1-1 draw against Rangers. In their last six away matches in the Premier League, Tottenham won twice, while also recording zero draws. They endured four defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying seven goals conceded and ten scored.

Southampton and Tottenham are both very focused on not losing currently, and they'd rather nick a point than risk losing all three. The draw is the tasty value bet at St. Mary's Stadium this coming Sunday.

Tottenham recorded one wins from their last four games against teams placed in the bottom six and collected four points. They scored six goals while conceding four. Southampton have a record of one win, two draws and 12 defeats in the Premier League this season. Tottenham are looking at six wins, two draws and seven defeats in the Premier League.
