On Tuesday, starting with 20:15, the Southampton – Arsenal match will be played, within the round with number 20 in the Premier League.
Southampton and Arsenal are “colleagues” in the standings. While Hasenhuttl’s students are in 10th place, Arteta’s troupe is in 15th place. However, we must emphasize that the latter are going through an excellent period in the league, Arsenal coming after 4 victories and a draw in the last 5 rounds! We must also emphasize that the two groups met in the FA Cup on January 23, where Southampton won, 1-0. However, in that match, the Londoners did not use the best first 11, they focusing primarily on the Premier League.
In other words, we must emphasize that the infirmary of the “saints” is full! Thus, Southampton will not be able to bet on the injured Jannik Vestergaard, Michael Obafemi, Moussa Djenepo, Nathan Redmond, Williams Smallbone, Mohammed Salisu and Nathan Tella. At the same time, the “gunners” will not be able to rely on the services of Pablo Mari. This situation explains by itself the decreasing share on the victory of the guests. We will choose to bet accordingly, on a solid game of the latter.
Southampton (4-4-2): McCrthy – Bertrand, Stephens, Bednarek, Walker-Peters – Walcott, Diallo, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong – Ings, Adams;
Arsenal (4-2-3-1): Leno – Bellerin, Holding, Luiz, Tierney – Partey, Xhaka – Saka, Rowe, Aubameyang – Lacazette.
Arsenal, 4 wins and a draw in the last 5 stages;
Under 2.5 goals in the previous 8 games in which Southampton was involved;
No draw in the last 7 away games played by Arsenal.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,73
