Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
Leader Liverpool will travel to the port city of Southampton on Monday evening to take on the local pride Southampton FC. Both teams played a draw in their last two league matches and would therefore like to win their first match of 2021!
Southampton:
Southampton has been falling further and further down the rankings for a number of weeks. Just under two months ago, Southampton topped the Premier League for the first time in club history, but Southampton is currently in ninth place. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s team has 26 points from 16 games and cannot be dissatisfied with that. In fact, if Southampton achieves a good result against Liverpool on Monday evening, it will immediately rise in the rankings. Getting a result against Liverpool is easier said than done.
We have to go back in time more than three weeks for Southampton’s last victory in the Premier League. On December 13 of the previous year, The Saints recorded a convincing 3-0 victory over Sheffield United. In the four games that Southampton played after that, it only managed to take three points. After a draw at Arsenal (1-1), a defeat against Manchester City (0-1) and a draw at a visit to Fulham (0-0), Southampton played a goalless draw against West Ham United at home last Tuesday. The Hasenhüttl team is therefore yearning for a victory.
Liverpool:
For Liverpool it is important to grab three points on Monday evening at St. Mary’s Stadium. Currently, Liverpool is still in first place in the Premier League, but that is only based on the goal difference. Liverpool, like Manchester United, has taken 33 points in 16 games, but the goal difference of The Reds is a lot better than Manchester United’s +9 goal difference at +17. In a draw or defeat against Southampton, Liverpool could just lose the lead this weekend.
The Reds owe the fact that Liverpool currently shares first place with the great rival from Manchester. Liverpool lost points far too often in recent weeks. For example in the last two games that Jürgen Klopp’s team played. For example, Liverpool did not get further than a 1-1 draw at Anfield against West Bromwich Albion last Sunday. On Wednesday evening, Liverpool also failed to book a result on a visit to Newcastle United: 0-0. After two duels without a three pointer, The Reds can use another victory.
