We pariah Friday night on a 33rd Premier League match in Southampton and Liverpool. On the St. Mary’s is expecting a spectacular match, especially as the last 11 games played by Southampton home scored an average of 3.18 goals per game! Liverpool showed a worrying defensive misfortune in recent rounds.
There are no big batch problems in the two batches, with the exception of Ings, Hoedt, Obafemi and Long at the hosts, respectively Gomez and Oxlade-Chamberlain at the guests. Jurgen Klopp comes to attack with the stars Firmino, Salah and Mane, and the latter has a special mission on Friday night when he faces the former club. In the same situation were his colleagues, Lallana and Van Dijk, who reached Anfield after successful seasons at Southampton. Liverpool leads England, two points ahead of Manchester City, but “citizens” have a less played match. So any wrong step of the “cormorants” will be promptly punished by Guardiola’s team, which is why we expect an offensive score for the guests on Friday.
Southampton is 16th in the Premier League and has only five points ahead of the relegation line, but Ralf Hasenhuttl’s team has shown very well lately. The “saints” have gained great confidence in the successes with Tottenham (2-1) and Brighton (1-0), which greatly increased the chances of rescuing the club. With at least one goal scored in the last 11 home games, Southampton still pays tribute because of slow defensive, which will have big problems with Liverpool. In these 11 Southampton games, there were 3.18 goals per game, which encourages “Over” bets on the hole market.
Southampton played well this season against top teams, including two wins and two draws against Top 6 clubs. Hasenhuttl’s players will not have complexities in front of Liverpool, but statistics hold with guests who have no more received the Southampton goal of four straight games! The tour was 3-0 on Anfield, as in the previous season, when Liverpool also set a 2-0 away. The only team in the Premier League to win all of the matches that has been favored this season, Liverpool has enough quality to untie the defense in front of goalkeeper Gunn.
