Southampton vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
On New Year’s Day, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur met in the Premier League at St. Mary’s Stadium. At the time, Southampton was too strong for Tottenham, 1-0. These two teams meet again on Saturday-afternoon at St. Mary’s Stadium, this time it concerns an FA Cup game.
Southampton:
At the start of the season, there were some doubts about the performance of Southampon manager Ralph Hasenhüttl: The Saints disappointedly started the current season and dangled somewhere down the rankings. All doubts about Hasenhüttl have since disappeared. The 52-year-old Austrian has climbed Southampton to ninth place in the Premier League and The Saints are actually almost certain of enforcement.
The last eight games that Southampton played earned The Saints no less than six wins. Of those eight games, all lost the game with Wolverhampton: 2-3. That match was played at St. Mary’s Stadium last weekend and on Tuesday evening Southampton again had obligations in the Premier League. While visiting Crystal Palace, Southampton won 0-2 and that was a great result. Many teams lose points at Selhurst Park, while Southampton was already sure of the win within fifty minutes. The Saints also have faith in the cup match with Tottenham Hotspur, because more than three weeks ago Southampton still won 1-0 against the Spurs through a goal from Danny Ings. Moreover, that victory was also completely justified.
Tottenham Hotspur:
Last season, Tottenham Hotspur was in a blood form at this stage of the season and the Spurs probably had no worries about an away game at Southampton. This season is a different story: José Mourinho knows that the Spurs will have a hard time at St. Mary’s Stadium. That was also apparent on New Year’s Day when the Spurs quite rightly lost 1-0 to Southampton and, to make matters worse, saw Harry Kane injured.
Without Kane and with some confidence after Wednesday night’s 2-1 win at Norwich City, Tottenham hopes to reach the next round of the FA Cup. They have not built up any confidence in away games at the Spurs in the last few weeks: Tottenham won only one of the last seven games outside. Last weekend, the Spurs got no further than a scoreless draw at Watford and in the previous round of the FA Cup, Tottenham also needed a replay after the 1-1 draw in and against Middlesbrough.
