ℹ️ Team News: Southampton

It’s our opinion that The Saints may well employ a 4-2-3-1 system for the game, utilising Gavin Bazunu, Kyle Walker-Peters, Jan Bednarek, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romain Perraud, James Ward-Prowse, Ibrahima Diallo, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Carlos Alcaraz, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Che Adams.

📋 Team News: Brentford

With a fully injury-free squad to choose from, the Brentford manager Thomas Frank has zero fitness concerns to report ahead of this match.

From our viewpoint, The Bees could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup by sending out David Raya, Aaron Hickey, Ethan Pinnock, Ben Mee, Rico Henry, Vitaly Janelt, Christian Noergaard, Mathias Jensen, Bryan Mbeumo, Ivan Toney and Kevin Schade.

🧠 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that Southampton might well have a job on their hands to score against this Brentford lineup who we think will score & stay on top.

Our tip is therefore for a hard-fought 0-1 winning margin for Brentford when the full-time whistle blows.
