Southampton vs Crystal Palace – Last weekend’s humiliations saw Southampton and Crystal Palace on opposite ends of the spectrum.
On Saturday, the Saints lost to Manchester City 1-4 at home as expected, while on Sunday at Elland Road, the Glaziers astonished Leeds by defeating them 5-1.
Now, the two teams will compete against one another on Matchday No. 31, which will take place at St. Mary’s Stadium on a Saturday afternoon.
There is not much time left for the hosts. With Everton in the safe zone four points ahead of them in the Premier League standings, they now occupy the bottom spot.
The team of Ruben Selles has gone winless in five straight league games, losing three of those games. In three of their last five league games, the Saints have failed to score a goal.
On the other side, Crystal Palace is flourishing under Roy Hodgson. The Glaziers have beaten Leicester and Leeds in back-to-back significant triumphs under Uncle Roy’s leadership.
Palace scored seven goals in their last two games after Patrick Vieira struggled to create opportunities.
Given that the Saints have conceded at least three goals in two of their last three games, they should have plenty of room to perform well here as well.
