Southampton
Before the international break, Russell Martin's side suffered a 0-2 away defeat to Wolverhampton. Despite achieving their first victory of the current championship against Everton in the previous round (1-0), Southampton remains in the relegation zone, with the gap to the 17th place widening to four points. Notably, Southampton has scored only seven goals, the lowest tally in the Premier League.
- In their last 24 Premier League matches, the club has suffered 18 defeats (1 win and 5 draws).
- In 7 of Southampton's last 9 league matches, one team won with a clean sheet in the first half.
- The club has failed to win 11 of their last 12 home Premier League games (3 draws and 8 losses).
Liverpool
Arne Slot's team strengthened their lead in the championship after the last round, pulling five points clear of Manchester City. They secured a 2-0 home victory against Aston Villa. Liverpool's unbeaten streak in the Premier League has now extended to seven matches, including six wins and one draw. Their position at the top of the table is due not only to their strong attacking play but also to the best defense, which has conceded only six goals.
Forward Diogo Jota will miss the match due to injury.
- The number "2" has appeared in the final score of 5 of Liverpool's last 6 league games.
- The team has scored two or three goals in 11 of their last 13 Premier League matches.
- Liverpool has opened the scoring in 11 of their last 14 Premier League games.
Southampton vs. Liverpool: Match Prediction
The upcoming match features the best and the worst teams after 11 rounds. Southampton has just one win, while Liverpool has only one loss. I am confident these numbers will remain unchanged, given the significant difference in the current form of these clubs.
The hosts have lost 9 of their 11 matches this season, five of which were by a margin of two or more goals. Liverpool has played five away games in the Premier League this season, winning four and drawing one against Arsenal.
Additionally, considering the head-to-head results, Liverpool has won 10 of the last 12 league encounters (1 draw and 1 loss), with 8 of those victories by a margin of two or more goals. I believe that the current Liverpool team will comfortably handle the Premier League's bottom side. My prediction: Liverpool with a handicap (-1.5)
Aston Villa
Crystal Palace
Bournemouth
Brighton and Hove Albion
Everton
Brentford
Fulham
Wolverhampton Wanderers
Ipswich
Manchester United
Newcastle United
West Ham United
