On Saturday, at 15:00, two hunger teams meet on St. Mary’s Stadium, in the 30th round of the Premier League. Southampton receives Tottenham’s visit, in a match in which Londoners are favorites. I’m fighting the podium in England, while the “saints” are in the struggle to avoid relegation.
In the last four matches played in the home, Ralf Hasenhuttl’s team lost only once and we must note that the white-reds were one step away from pulling a point on Manchester United’s field (2-3). Easy, easy, Southampton solves the problems he faced this year, and if the hosts will have the bats in the batch, then Tottenham must fear! However, Londoners operate at a higher level and come after an enfantry qualifying in the Champions League, after 1-0 on Borussia Dortmund (4-0 in general). White-blue is now focusing on the ranking.
Tottenham is in third place (56-30 golaver) and has one of the most stable defenses in the first English league, while Southampton is on the 17th place (goal 32-49). Under the command of Hasenhuttl, the “saints” have achieved 3 home games and progress in the southern game is obvious. Otherwise, Tottenham remains the team with the best balance in the Premier League games, and Mauricio Pochettino’s students did not draw yet this season! With 11 wins and 4 failures in 15 games played on foreign ground, Tottenham comes with all the stars on St. Louis. Mary’s, where he has not lost since 2005 (6 consecutive games).
The tour was 3-1 for Spurs, on his own ground, and the only absent Saturday in the London camp will be Dele Alli. The hosts can not play injuries Lemina and Obafemi, while the scorer Danny Ings is uncertain but he has good chances to enter the field. In 43% of Southampton’s matches on home this season, he entered 0-0 at the break but this is unlikely to be the weekend. There are two bands with a lot of talent in the offensive, and in the last 6 direct duels they scored both bands every time! We also note that in the last 3 games of Tottenham every time a goal was scored after the 80th minute, so we were expecting another spectacular duel between two teams with flair.
POTENTIAL TEAMS IN SOUTHAMPTON – TOTTENHAM:
Southampton: Gunn – Bednarek, Yoshida, Vestergaard – Valery, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Hojbjerg, Bertrand – Armstrong – Redmond
Tottenham: Lloris – Alderweireld, D. Sanchez, Vertonghen – Trippier, Sissoko, Eriksen, Rose – L. Moura, Son – Kane
PREDICTION: Tottenham to win @ 1,88
