Betting on Southampton
Southampton, which is currently struggling at the bottom of the standings, managed to secure a bittersweet 3-3 draw against Arsenal in the last match. While earning points against the league leaders is positive, the team had a two-goal lead until the 88th minute, leaving a feeling that it could have achieved more.
Actually, this draw is part of a terrible run for Southampton, which hasn’t won in the last seven Premier League matches. The team has also conceded at least two goals in five of those games, and failed to score in three.
Returning to St. Mary’s Stadium is unlikely to give Southampton much hope. It hasn’t won in the last three home games (one draw, three losses), and is the worst team in the English top flight when playing at home, with only 10 points from 16 matches.
Possible Lineup (4-4-2): Gavin Bazunu; Kyle Walker-Peters, Jan Bednarek, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Romain Perraud; Theo Walcott, James Ward-Prowse, Romeo Lavia, Mohamed Elyounoussi; Carlos Alcaraz, Adam Armstrong.
Betting on Bournemouth
Bournemouth suffered a surprising and tough 0-4 home defeat against West Ham last week. Despite winning the two previous matches, the team is only five points above the relegation zone. Therefore, the team knows it needs to get back to its best form as soon as possible.
Although being demolished at home was unexpected, conceding four goals in a single game was not unusual for Bournemouth. It entered this week as the worst defensive team in the Premier League, with a total of 63 goals conceded.
Out of those goals, 40 were conceded on the road. Therefore, coach Gary O’Neil will have a tough job to make his team more solid in defense, especially considering it has conceded at least one goal in eight of the last ten matches against Southampton.
Possible Lineup (3-4-2-1): Neto; Lloyd Kelly, Jack Stephens, Chris Mepham; Jefferson Lerma, Joe Rothwell, Marcus Tavernier, Adam Smith; Philip Billing, Ryan Christie; Dominic Solanke.
JefeBet Prediction
Despite its struggles to get good results at home, Southampton will have a great opportunity to redeem itself by facing the weakest defensive team in the Premier League, against whom it has recently performed well.
However, despite its previous result, Bournemouth’s performance has been more than acceptable lately, and it has even won its last two away games, so the team will be able to take advantage of the home team’s weaknesses.
With both teams needing to get three points, we expect them to attack from the beginning, exploiting their opponents’ defensive weaknesses and giving us a very attractive and high-scoring match.
Prediction: Bournemouth Moneyline and Over (SOU 1-2 BOU)
