Betting tips 15 December 2024

In this intriguing Premier League clash, both teams come in with their own struggles. Southampton appear out of their depth in the top flight, and without significant change, they seem destined to be the first team to drop out of the league. On the other hand, Tottenham Hotspur are at risk of missing out on European competitions. Both sides urgently need a win, but Tottenham undoubtedly look more capable of achieving it.

Southampton's current winless streak extending to five matches is not entirely surprising. What is surprising is that they conceded just once to Aston Villa in the previous round (0:1). The Birmingham side were to blame for this, as their ineffectual decision-making at times resembled that of Southampton's players. Additionally, on a couple of occasions, Southampton's outfield players did the work of goalkeeper Joe Lumley by stepping in at crucial moments. With their 2.29 xG, Aston Villa only managed one goal but should have scored more. Overall, Southampton conceded 11 goals in their previous four matches while scoring four.

Tottenham Hotspur produced a thrilling high-scoring affair that they might not be entirely pleased with. Scoring three against Chelsea is an impressive feat, something they hadn't done for six years. However, shipping four goals wasn’t part of their plans. Chelsea created chances worth 2.18 xG just in the second half, with Tottenham Hotspur conceding two penalties. The burning question remains: how long will Ange Postecoglou last, as Tottenham's winless run has now stretched to four matches, with the club sitting in 11th place?

As for the upcoming match, the focus is on goals. Tottenham Hotspur clearly create opportunities and, as demonstrated in their derby match, they can convert them too. The opposing team would require players like Marc Cucurella or just have weak links. In this case, the latter description might fit Southampton. Expect the visitors to be pulled into a high-scoring game, potentially resembling previous encounters between these two sides (3:2, 1:4, 3:3). We wouldn’t be surprised by such a scoreline, hence our prediction points in that direction.
