On Wednesday, from 19:30 pm, Southampton receive a visit to Norwich City, in the 15th round of the Premier League. It is a duel with serious implications in the relegation fight, where Southampton are in need of points. Norwich comes after an encouraging 2-2, with Arsenal.
Southampton have been through some tough times this season, culminating in the failure against Leicester, score 0-9. However, the players of the “saints” managed to return after that match and have the prized performances in the Premier League, where they were one step away from putting Manchester City (1-2) at a standstill. Last time, the Reds got a long-awaited victory, with Watford (2-1) coming back from 0-1. Ralf Hasenhuttl’s players have proven fighting character and strength!
Without fail in the last two stages, Southampton have the quality to break Norwich defensively, one that is easy to penetrate. Norwich received three goals from Manchester United (1-3), two from Brighton (0-2) and Watford (0-2) and two more from Arsenal (2-2) in the weekend draw. Pukki and Cantwell scored for the Canaries, but Arsenal’s star Aubameyang equalized every time and saved a point for the Londoners.
For Southampton another decisive match follows with a team in the basement after the victory with Watford. The “saints” are 18th (goal 15-32), while Norwich is 19th (goal 15-30). A single point separates the two formations, and the form of the moment determines us to bet on the hosts, in the duel on St. Mary’s. Norwich lost the previous three visits to Southampton, between 2014 and 2017, with scores of 2-4, 0-3 and 0-1.
