Southampton vs Hull City Prediction & Betting tips
Southampton can make a significant impact on the degradation battle if Hull knows how to win, but Hull will be insane. Is that enough in a difficult outing?
Southampton :
Southampton is ranked 9th in the Premier League and therefore has the sheep quite well on the dry. The Saints have collected 40 points after 32 games and also eight in place, because West Bromwich Albion, currently 8th, has only played four points more and one game less. And it is certainly not unthinkable that West Bromwich Albion will leave points.
Last Monday, Southampton played the match at Chelsea. That match was lost 4-2. Southampton will have hoped that the nerves would be overweight to the Londoners, and came back soon from Eden Hazard’s 1-0. After 1-1, Southampton had a good game of control, but as the game progressed, Chelsea took over control again and eventually turned out to be a mate too big for Southampton.
That’s not a shame, because Chelsea is by no means the biggest favorite for the title. It would be a shame if Southampton did not know how to win Hull City this weekend. Four of the last five games in the Premier League against Hull were won and Southampton managed to win his last four home matches against Hull. In each of the four matches Southampton made at least two goals.
Probable setup Southampton
Forster, Soares, Sephens, Yoshida, Bertrand, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Davis, Tadic, Gabbiadini, Redmond
Hull City :
Hull is seventeen in the Premier League and thus has nice papers to stay in the top division. However, the lead at number eighteen Swansea is only two points, which means that if Hull loses or matches Saturday, Swansea can climb over Hull a day later. On the other hand; Swansea is playing Manchester United a day later, a game that you have not just won.
Nevertheless, for Hull, it’s a bit better if you can keep it all in your own hands. Hull does what it can, and that did the last weekend too. At home, Watford won 2-0 and Marco Silva continued his impressive home series. The victory will be even more impressive if you consider Oumar Niasse to be red after 25 minutes, but Hull showed that he had a lot of fighting pleasure.
The same fight will also need Hull if it wants to win at Southampton. Not only does Hull grab a lot of points on a strange ground, it actually also performs traditionally bad at St. Mary’s Stadium. Hull has not won at Southampton since 1951. Ever since that year, Hull played fifteen times at Southampton and lost ten of those fifteen games. The other five games were played equally.
Probable setup Hull City
Jakupovic, Maguire, Ranocchia, Dawson, Robertson, N’Diaye, Clucas, Markovic, Evandro, Grosicki, Niasse
