Tottenham:
In the last game Tottenham conceded a 2-4 at Arsenal FC, which not only important points went through the rag, but the Spurs also fell behind the direct competitors. In the fight for the Champions League places, of course, these duels are the ones that make the difference in the end. But it also takes the points against the supposedly weaker opponents like Southampton. The Spurs want to continue on Wednesday where they left off at Arsenal. Six victories have been played in a row, including at home to Chelsea and Inter Milan. These home strong results were not always so this season. Tottenham are currently in their own stadium with three wins and two defeats. This has also given it against the heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester City. With eight to five hits Tottenham is currently in their own stadium, so it has given on average one goal per home game. Coach Mauricio Pochettino has to give up some players on Wednesday. Among others, Vincent Janssen, Luke Amos, Moussa Dembélé and Davison Sánchez are injured. In addition, Jan Vertonghen missing for a game locked.
Southampton:
Southampton narrowly escaped relegation last season, but in the current season it is again threatening to be very close. Currently, Southampton is only ninth with nine points and is in desperate need of success. Although the team has not only seven defeats but also six draws, but also so far only managed a single victory of the season. There was the fourth game day at Crystal Palace. On the final day of the match, they lost 2-1 at home to Manchester United.
While only two games were lost at home, Southampton have lost away five of the previous seven away games. With six goals, in seven matches there were on average less than one goal per game, but 16 goals conceded. Six of these goals came from the match against Manchester City, who lost 1-6. Even against relegated competitor Fulham Southampton lost on the penultimate round 2: 3 away.
However, something has also done at Southampton, which gives the club hope for a turnaround. After the dismissal of coach Mark Hughes on Monday, Ralph Hasenhüttl is the new team boss of the Saints. Hasenhüttl had trained until last season RB Leipzig. However, that does not change much the recommendation to follow Tottenham against Southampton for a home win. Hasenhüttl will have very little preparation time with his squad, who currently miss Shane Long, Michael Obafemi, Ryan Bertrand, Sam Gallagher and Danny Ings. In addition, Mario Lemina is suspended for the upcoming match against Tottenham.
