Southampton Swansea City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be both teams to score at least one goal.

Analysis Southampton

The home team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 2 points won, after 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Sunderland, by (1‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Arsenal, by (2‑1). They come to this match after a home win against Sparta Praha by (3‑0). Southampton has won 6 and tied 4 of the last 10 home matches.

They haven’t won any of the last 4 matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 22 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Southampton comes unmotivated for this match after the defeat at Arsenal ground by 2-1, adding the fourth consecutive match without winning in the league. Despite the defeat the coach Claude Puel should keep the usual 4-3-3 benefiting ball possession and organized attacks, especially through the flanks: Tadic is a very fast and proficient player in transporting the ball to attack. It’s important to emphasize that the home team has some gaps in the defensive dead balls and finishing. For this match the coach won’t count on Sofiane Boufal and Jérémy Pied, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Fraser Forster, Cédric Soares, Ryan Bertrand, José Fonte , Virgil van Dijk , Oriol Romeu, Jordy Clasie , Steven Davis, Dušan Tadić, Shane Long, Nathan Redmond.
Coach: R. Hasenhüttl.

In the last 10 away matches Swansea City has won 7 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 3 of the last 4 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 3 of the last 4 matches for this competition.

Swansea comes motivated for this match after the draw by 2-2 against Chelsea, registering the third consecutive match without winning: the goals were scored by Fer and Sigurdsson. In this away home match the coach Francesco Guidolin must play in 3-6-1 favoring defensive organization and counterattacks. It’s important to emphasize that the visiting team has some competence in the attack through the wings and in the air play. For this match the coach won’t count on Borja Bastón and Nathan Dyer, both recovering from injury.
