The starting line-up for each team is listed from their last match in this tournament.
Southampton
Despite resistance, the team lost to Manchester City in the previous round with a score of 0:1, conceding an early goal in the fifth minute. This was the fourth consecutive defeat in the league. In total, Southampton has not experienced the joy of victory in the Premier League for 22 meetings now (5 draws and 17 losses). The club is in last place, trailing the safe 17th spot by five points.
Midfielder William Smallbone, goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu, and forward Ross Stewart will miss the match due to injuries.
- At least three goals have been scored in 5 of the last 7 club matches in the PL.
- The team has not scored more than one goal in 17 out of the last 20 home matches in the league.
- Southampton lost in the second 45 minutes in 8 out of the last 9 home encounters in the Premier League (there was also one draw).
Everton
The Liverpudlians avoided relegation to the Championship last season thanks to a 5-match unbeaten streak at the end of the league (4 wins and 1 draw). The team is currently on a similar streak, albeit with only two wins and three draws. It's also worth noting that in the last three matches, Sean Dyche's charges have conceded only one goal. Thanks to such results, the club has significantly improved its league standing, climbing to 16th place, five points clear of the relegation zone.
Forwards Youssef Chermiti and Armando Broja, as well as midfielders James Garner and Tim Iroegbunam, are out due to injuries. The participation of midfielder Dwight McNeil in the match is in doubt.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 12 out of the last 15 Everton games in the Premier League.
- The club did not score in the second half in the last seven away matches in the PL.
- At least two goals were scored in the first half in 6 out of the last 7 away league matches for the Liverpudlians.
Southampton vs Everton: Match Prediction
The match features roughly equal opponents in terms of quality. It's difficult to give an edge to either side, especially since Southampton has an extensive 11-match unbeaten run at home in the PL, and Everton has only one victory in their last 15 away league matches. Therefore, I believe it's better to focus on the number of goals scored.
In recent years, the Liverpudlians have consistently had problems converting their chances. The club rarely scores more than one goal, even at home. And away from home, in the last 15 Premier League matches, Everton has scored two goals only against Ipswich and Aston Villa. In the other games during this period, Dyche's men either scored one goal (7 times) or failed to score at all (6 times).
It's also worth paying attention to the head-to-head encounters between the clubs in the league. In the last 11 meetings at St Mary's, the Liverpudlians have scored more than one goal only three times. Therefore, my prediction is for "Everton Under 1.5 Team Goals" with odds of .
