Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction & Betting tips
“He does an incredible job” – enthused Jürgen Klopp in early April 2019 before the important league match at the Saints nor by colleague Ralph Hasenhüttl. In fact, the former Leipzig coach could annoy the later Champions League winner and coach of the year 2019 also enormously. Early led his kickers surprisingly with 1: 0, before the Reds swing the thing in the end with 3: 1 still clearly.
Nevertheless, Ralph Hasenhüttl would have thrown his former Bundesliga counterparts down to the last straw in the championship fight. Now he definitely wants to annoy him a bit more.
Southampton are against Liverpool, according to odds bookmakers the clear outsiders, which is definitely due to the miserable season start of the Saints. The Hasenhüttl selection went down 3-0 in Burnley last Saturday, with the three goals scoring a weak phase in the 16th preseason within 12 minutes. The Reds meanwhile won 4: 1 at home to Norwich, which is very important for Southampton against Liverpool.
The Klopp squad, who also won the UEFA Super Cup 2019 during the week, continues seamlessly where she left off in the formidable 2018/19 season.
The more sustainable is our view at Southampton Vs. Liverpool a tip on the next three of the Reds, for the odds, however, a trace is too low. We get the corresponding boost by insisting that the Scousers, who are always wide awake at the start of the game, lead at half-time and do not let anything burn at St. Mary’s Stadium.
Southampton:
The Saints certainly did not go much higher in the 2018/19 season, after Ralph Hasenhüttl took over as coach on 6 December 2018 and became the first Austrian coach in the Premier League. In the end, the English vice-champion of the year 1984 just held the class.
However, what happened during the season change sparked a veritable euphoria in the south of the island. Not only were all high achievers in the team held, but striker Danny Ings – last season still borrowed from today’s opponents Liverpool FC – could even be firmly contracted. In addition, there were more promising talents with Che Adam, Moussa Djenepo and the Bundesliga side Kevin Danso. Investments made possible by the Chinese business family Gao, which bought 80% of the club shares in 2017.
In addition, investments that should lead the FA Cup winner of the year 1976 back into the Europa League, in which the Saints last participated in the 2016/17 season with little success.
That it could work with a place in the upper third of the table, or at least a single-place table space, underlined the strong-paced preparation games of the Hasenhüttl troupe, which remained undefeated in all five games, but last Saturday was crashed back to the bottom of reality: A 0 : 3-clap at Burnley FC, which saw an inattentive Saints’ second-half strike to sting three times icy cold.
Now the home premiere at St. Mary’s Stadium in the first threesome of the new season will end, for which Southampton FC, however, has a real Hammerlos in front of the chest. It is clear that this time around the entire 90 minutes, the concentration must be kept high, because the Reds have needed only a few chances in the preseason to decide their games. So it’s no surprise that at Southampton versus Liverpool there’s no point in winning the home side’s points by a lucky star. Rather, the summer euphoria could be over again after this second matchday.
Liverpool:
Liverpool FC suffered only one defeat in the entire 2018/19 Premier League season – a 1: 2 draw at Manchester City on 3 January 2019, reducing the seven-point lead over the Sky Blues to four. And although Jürgen Klopp and his squad did not lose a single game on the next 17 matchdays, a few draws were enough to get the Citizens to catch the Reds.
In the end, only the won Champions League consoled the so far in the 1992 introduced Premier League still untitled Liverpool FC over the fact that unbelievable 97 points were not enough for the first English championship since 1990. All the more, the scousers with Manchester City still have a bill to be settled in this year’s championship round. At least in the FA Community Shield, however, the first point went to the men of Pep Guardiola, who kept the nerves at the end on penalties against the Reds.
Nevertheless, it worked during the week in the still young season then but still with the first title of the new season: against Europa League winner Chelsea it was after a 2-2 draw also on penalties, where all the shooters of Scousers transformed before the short-term nachverpflichtete Replacement keeper Adrián became a hero and turned the final penalty of the blues.
It was Liverpool‘s fourth UEFA Super Cup win, which continued in the championship following the 4-0 opening win over Norwich, where they left off last season.
Although the calf injury of Alisson, whose safety in the goal was a key success factor in the exceptional season 2018/19, could sooner or later become a problem, at least at the moment, the LFC seems to be as good as ever. Noteworthy, especially since in the summer next to Adrián only the 17-year perspective player Sepp van den Berg was brought by PEC Zwolle.
With virtually no departures – Southampton striker Danny Ings was awarded last year to the Saints – remain the Scousers, however, even without million-dollar signings strong, which is why it can be seen as an advantage that no new players from outside the squad and push potentially cause anxiety. The bookmakers also see it that way, so at Southampton against Liverpool the odds turn out clearly towards the second threesome of the Scousers.
