Southampton DDWWLL ⚖

Southampton won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 0-2 EFL Cup defeat last time out to Brentford.

In that match, Southampton managed 65% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 3 on target. Brentford got 6 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Christian Nørgaard (40') and Josh Dasilva (45') scored for Brentford.

It’s been a rare occasion in recent games where Southampton have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. It will be a concern for them that The Saints have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 7 goals along the way.

Going into this contest, Southampton are undefeated in their previous 3 home league matches.

Tottenham Hotspur WWWDLW

Tottenham Hotspur will go into this meeting following a 1-2 Europa League Qualifiers win with the downing of Lokomotiv Plovdiv in their previous match.

The numbers tell their own story, and Tottenham Hotspur have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 5 goals overall. Defensively, Spurs have clearly had some problems. That trend won’t necessarily be carried forward here, of course.

Their past results show that Tottenham Hotspur:

• have not won against Southampton when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league games.
• are undefeated in their previous 3 away league matches.

↔️ Head to head

A look at their prior head-to-head clashes stretching back to 05/12/2018 shows us that Southampton have won 2 of them and Tottenham Hotspur 3, with the tally of drawn games standing at 1.

A combined sum of 18 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 8 for The Saints and 10 coming from Spurs. That is an average goals per game value of 3.

📰 Team News: Tottenham Hotspur

Owing to an otherwise healthy group, there is just a single fitness problem for the Tottenham Hotspur manager José Mourinho to be concerned with. Japhet Tanganga (Thigh Muscle Strain) misses out for this game.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Southampton will have to work hard as a team to see themselves scoring against this Tottenham Hotspur side who we think might get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

We therefore fancy a good battle with a 0-1 win for Tottenham Hotspur when all is said and done.

Should be an interesting one.
