Southampton – Tottenham (Premier League)

Southampton and Tottenham are up against each other on Sunday at St. Mary’s stadium, for the 24th round of the Premier League. Southampton were denied a vital three points at Watford last time out, as they threw away a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 at Vicarage Road, and arrive here winless in their last 10 Premier League matches. Tottenham, on their turn, have failed to win just two of their last eight Premier League games are enjoying a good moment in their league campaign.

Southampton are in 17th place with 21 points, from 4 victories, 9 draws and 10 defeats, with 23 goals scored and 34 goals conceded. The Saints are going through a very negative moment in the Premier League, their last victory in the competition was on November 26, failing to win the 10 following matches  since them, losing 5 of them in the process, a run of results so poor that leaves the team only 1 point above the relegation zone.

Usually, it is at home that Saints have more positive results, but they are now winless in their last 4 Premier League matches at St Mary’s Stadium, scoring only 4 goals and conceding 8 in the process. The south coast side are also showing very little offensive power, averaging 1 goal scored per game, and are one of the teams with more goals conceded in the Premier League.

In their last 5 official matches, Southampton has a record of 1 victory, 2 draws and 2 defeats. This sequence of results started with a 5-2 defeat against Tottenham. This result was followed by a 0-0 draw away to Manchester United, a 2-1 defeat against Crystal Palace, a 0-1 victory over Fulham, for the FA Cup, and in their last match, a 2-2 draw away to Watford. Austin and Yoshida are both out due to injury.

Probable Lineup: McCarthy – Soares, Stephens, Hoedt and Bertrand – Romeu, Lemina and Hojbjerg – Ward-Prowse, Long and Tadic.

Tottenham, on their turn, are in 5th place with 44 points, from 13 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats, with 46 goals scored and 21 goals conceded. After beating Wimbledon in the FA Cup, Tottenham returned to Premier League matches with a strong victory over Everton, beating the Toffees by 4-0 at Wembley Stadium. Spurs have failed to win just two of their last eight Premier League games – a 4-1 loss at Manchester City and a 1-1 draw against West Ham – a good run of results that has brought the team closer to the Champions League spots, with the team now only 3 points behind Liverpool and Chelsea, 3rd and 4th placed.

The Lilywhites recovered from a very bad moment away from home, where they went winless in 5 consecutive Premier League matches, between the 10th and the 18th round, managing to return to winning ways recently, winning their last two away matches in the competition, beating both Swansea City and Brighton and scoring 5 goals, having kept clean sheets in both games. Spurs are motivated with their recent results and are in a good offensive moment, they are the fourth team with more goals scored in the Premier League,, with Harry Kane standing out for being the Premier League top scorer with 20 goals scored, and are the fifth team with less goals conceded.

In their last 5 official matches, Tottenham has a record of 4 victories and 1 draw. This sequence of results started with a 5-2 victory over Southampton. This result was followed by a 0-2 victory over Swansea City, a 1-1 draw at home against West Ham, a 3-0 victory over Wimbledon, for the FA Cup, and in their last match, a 4-0 win against Everton.

Probable Lineup: Lloris – Aurier, Sánchez, Vertonghen and Davies – Dier and Dembélé – Heung-Min, Alli and Eriksen – Kane.

Southampton won just 1 of their last 8 direct clashes, tying 1 and losing the remaining 6.

The Saints are going through a very bad moment of form and do not seem to have what it takes to bother an in-form Tottenham. Spurs have won four of their last five visits to St. Mary’s and should be confident of putting another victory on the board.
