Southampton vs Tottenham – Betting Analysis
Looking at their previous head-to-head matches dating back to February 5, 2020, Southampton has won one and Tottenham Hotspur has won four, with one match being tied. In addition, there were a ton of goals in those games—27 in total, or 4.5 goals per game.
Gavin Bazunu, Kyle Walker-Peters, Jan Bednarek, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romain Perraud, Carlos Alcaraz, Jamie Ward-Prowse, Roméo Lavia, Kamal-Deen Sulemana, Theo Walcott, and Che Adams are potential players for The Saints in a 4-4-2 formation.
Antonio Conte, the boss of Tottenham Hotspur, is currently concerned about some player fitness. Names that won’t appear on the squad sheet include Yves Bissouma (Ankle Fracture), Hugo Lloris (Knee Injury), Ryan Sessegnon (Hamstring Injury), and Rodrigo Bentancur (Cruciate Ligament Rupture).
We think Spurs will most likely choose a 3-4-2-1 system with the following players as starters: Fraser Forster, Cristian Romero, Eric Dier, Clement Lenglet, Pedro Porro, P. Emil Hjbjerg, Oliver Skipp, Ben Davies, Richarlison, Heung-Min Son, and Harry Kane.
Against this Tottenham Hotspur team, Southampton should have enough opportunities to score in this game, but one goal probably won’t be enough to avoid a loss.
