Liverpool vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
After a furious victory in the Champions League, Liverpool face Southampton in the English Premier League. The team led by Jürgen Klopp currently seems to be the measure of all things. In the league they are without point loss and in the Champions League they defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-2 impressive. Southampton, however, is in the lower half of the table. A last-minute goal on the last match day screwed them up to tenth place.
Liverpool:
Six wins from the last six competitive games is the balance sheet of Liverpool FC. You can not appreciate the great achievements and results high enough. Here is a small list of noteworthy achievements that make Liverpool seem so strong at the moment:
-They have won every game in the Premier League this season.
-They are second only to the table due to the worse goal difference.
-Liverpool currently has the best defense of the Premier League.
-In the Champions League they defeated a fellow competitor for the Henkel pot 3: 2.
-With Salah, Firmino and Mane they currently have the best triumvirate in the offensive area (Barcelona with Suarez, -Messi and Dembele, however, can keep up).
-Including the season preparation Klopp has won the last ten games in a row.
-In each Premier League game and the only Champions League appearance Liverpool already led at halftime.
-In five out of six competitive matches, the Reds scored at least two goals each.
-With Tottenham and PSG already two high-caliber have been defeated.
-For seven home games Liverpool got no goal left.
For 23 games Liverpool was not defeated at Anfield. They were the only team that did not lose at home in 2017/2018.
Personnel Dejan Lovren returned during the week back into the training events. However, it is unlikely that he will play from the beginning. Juergen Klopp will probably be at least against Chelsea FC at the upcoming Carabao Cup a little subject to the rotation principle. He still has to do without Alex Oxlade Chamberlain and Adam Lallana. Firmino, on the other hand, seems to be able to see well again in both eyes, which he impressively proved with his 3-2 win over Paris. A start-up should not be in the way. In addition, it is likely that Naby Keita will play again from the beginning, after he was spared against Paris / was not used.
Despite the many positive things we can say about Liverpool, there are a few things that sound less optimistic. For example, it has been noticed several times that the Klopp-Eleven gave more and more of the game just before the end of the game. Not least against Paris you came in the final phase unnecessarily shaking. Already against Tottenham, the followers of Anfield Road had to quit in the last 15 minutes. The assumption is obvious that Jürgen Klopps Gegenpressing is very exhausting and the advantage of this game system towards the end has a disadvantage. In the still fresh season, this should not be a problem especially against weaker opponents. It will be important in the last half of the season to get a good mix of regeneration and power football.
Southampton:
The Saints will probably still be annoyed about the lost threesome of Monday Night Football. Again they succeeded in the eleventh attempt no floodlit victory on a Monday. Even though they were leading 2-0 this time. A late equalizer on penalties spoiled Southampton’s first celebration in a long time. With two defeats, two draws and a win they are currently ranked 13th in the table. A score of 6: 6 is recorded. Since the opponents all came rather from the middle to lower table regions, also is not to assume a strong undervaluation. The only victory so far succeeded against the Table Twelve Crystal Palace (2: 0). Crucial in this game was Danny Ings. He scored the 1: 0. Exactly on him coach Hughes must now refrain. A regulation of the premier league forbids it to play borrowed players against their “actual” club. This is the case with Ings. Otherwise, the coach does not have to complain about any injuries.
Hope makes that the fast-relegated last year is regarded as relatively strong abroad. On the one hand, they already demonstrated this in the current season and, on the other hand, they took tenth place in the 2017/2018 standings. In comparison, “the saints” were 17th overall and narrowly escaped relegation.
