Tottenham Hotspur

LLDWLL

Tottenham Hotspur will be looking to improve on their last outing here after the 1-0 Premier League defeat in their last game at the hands of Chelsea.

In that game, Tottenham Hotspur had 50% possession and 8 shots at goal with 2 on target. At the other end, Chelsea got 11 shots on goal with 5 of them on target. Enzo Fernández (50') was the scorer for Chelsea.

It has been a rare occasion in recent games that Tottenham Hotspur have shown defensive steel. It will be a concern for them that Tottenham Hotspur have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 games, shipping 7 goals in the process.

Their prior results show that Tottenham Hotspur:

• haven't lost in the league to Southampton in their previous 3 matches.
• are without a win at home for the past 2 league games.

Southampton

LLLLLD 📉

In their last fixture, Southampton drew 1-1 in the Premier League match with Crystal Palace.

In that match, Southampton had 43% possession and 8 attempts on goal with 2 on target. The scorer for Southampton was Paul Onuachu (20'). For their opponents, Crystal Palace got 9 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. Matheus França (92') scored for Crystal Palace.

The attacking players from Southampton have been starved of goals over their last 6 games, contributing the poor return of just 4. In those matches, The Saints have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 17. While that may be of interest, we’ll just have to find out if that trend might be replicated in this upcoming game.

Going into this encounter, Southampton are without a win away from home in their last 2 matches in the league.

🗞️ Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just one fitness concern for the Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Radu Drăgușin (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

We think that Spurs will probably kick off with a 4-3-3 formation for the game and select Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, Cristian Romero, Ben Davies, Djed Spence, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur, Pape Sarr, Brennan Johnson, Dominic Solanke and Mathys Tel.

ℹ️ Team News: Southampton

Southampton manager Ivan Jurić has to contend with a number of unavailable players. Ryan Fraser (Calf injury), Charlie Taylor (Hip injury), Will Smallbone (unknown injury), Ross Stewart (Fitness) and Juan Larios (Fitness) will miss out on this game.

From our viewpoint, The Saints seem most likely to play in a 4-4-2 system, going with Aaron Ramsdale, T. Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek, Jack Stephens, Kyle Walker-Peters, Lesley Ugochukwu, Joe Aribo, Ryan Manning, Mateus Fernandes, Kamaldeen Sulemana and Cameron Archer.

💭 Prediction

It looks to us like Southampton will do really well to put one past a Tottenham Hotspur lineup who seem set to create many chances to win well.

We’re tipping a commanding 3-0 winning scoreline for Tottenham Hotspur when all is said and done.
