Southampton
LLLLLL 0
Southampton will be looking for an improved result here after the 1-2 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
In that game, Southampton had 60% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 3 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Southampton was Paul Onuachu (75'). On the other side, Wolverhampton Wanderers had 5 shots at goal with 3 on target. Jorgen Strand Larsen (19', 47') was the scorer for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
It’s been all too rare in recent times that Southampton have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The reality is that Southampton have been scored against in 6 of their previous 6 clashes, leaking 17 goals on the way.
Going into this game, the form guide shows that Southampton:
- haven't won against Crystal Palace in their previous 5 league games.

Over the course of their last 6 outings, Crystal Palace have bagged the sum of 13 goals. Crystal Palace have also scored in every single one of those games. In that time, they’ve seen 4 goals scored by their opponents. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this next game, however.

- are unbeaten in their previous 9 league matches away from home. They really have been good on their travels.
