📰 Team News: Southampton

Juan Larios (Unknown Injury) and Ross Stewart (Achilles tendon surgery) won’t be available for Southampton manager Russell Martin.

In our view, The Saints may well kick off with a 4-3-3 system for the game, utilising Gavin Bazunu, Kyle Walker-Peters, Shea Charles, T. Harwood-Bellis, Ryan Manning, Joe Aribo, William Smallbone, Adam Armstrong, Samuel Edozie, Che Adams and Ryan Fraser.

ℹ️ Team News: Ipswich Town

We are inclined to think that The Tractor Boys might begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system using Vaclav Hladky, Harry Clarke, Luke Woolfenden, Cameron Burgess, Brandon Williams, Wes Burns, Sam Morsy, Conor Chaplin, Jack Taylor, Omari Hutchinson and George Hirst.

✨ Prediction

In our opinion, Ipswich Town must be fancied to find the back of the net against this Southampton outfit, however that probably shouldn’t be as many as they will have scored against them.

We’re tipping both teams to score in a 2-1 winning score for Southampton after the 90. We’ll have to see what happens.
