Southampton vs Tottenham Prediction – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 15/12/2024
Southampton vs Tottenham Premier League Prediction Match Details
Bottom-place Southampton will welcome out-of-form Tottenham for gameweek 16 of the Premier League at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday evening. Can the Lilywhites hit back from their five-match winless run?
Southampton Preview & Form
Southampton has been struggling heavily since arriving in the top flight, and a swift return back to the Championship next season seems to be looking possible. The Saints made it their 12th defeat of the season last weekend as they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat against Aston Villa at home. Russell Martin’s men are now winless in each of their last five league matches, with their only win of the season dating back to early November when they secured a 1-0 win over Everton. They have just five points from opening 15 games and are eight points out of the safety zone. They have struggled with scoring goals, having scored a league-low of 11 goals in the top flight this season.
Russell Martin has pulled some remarkable form at home this season in the league, with four of their total five points in the league having come from their home game. However, hosting in-form Chelsea and Liverpool on their home ground resulted in their current two-match losing streak. The Saints have looked to be in great goal-scoring form in recent games, having scored in five consecutive Premier League games.
Tottenham Preview & Form
Tottenham may be playing a fantastic style of football, but producing results has been an issue for Ange Postecoglou, who has now been receiving some heavy criticism from Spurs fans as the manager is under immense pressure. Spurs are winless in their last five competitive matches since a surprising 4-0 victory over Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium immediately after the November international break. Last weekend in the league, Ange Postecoglou’s side lost their stunning early 2-0 lead in 11 minutes, resulting in a 4-3 defeat against Chelsea on their home soil. Currently, Spurs have slipped into the bottom half of the Premier League table with 20 points and are five points behind the top five. They continued their toothless run in their midweek clash with Rangers in the UEFA Europa League, with the match ending in a 1-1 draw.
Ange Postecoglou’s men’s away form has been a concern for their fans, with Spurs recording only one win from their last six away games.
