Southampton v Swansea
Sunday 2:15pm BST
With 6 of the last 8 being goalless at the break, we have to be on the Halftime Draw at 2.20 with Bet365.
Save for an opening day win by Swansea over Burnley, these two teams are in struggle town and desperately need to kickstart their seasons. New guy Puel must be praying that today is his day for a win after losses just 2 points from the opening 4 games. Swansea have fared only marginally better but did come close to getting all 3 points last week at home to Chelsea.
Southampton seem to enjoy playing Swansea winning 5 of the last 6. Interestingly, Swansea’s only win in our sample period was in 14/15 but at St Mary’s.
This fixture is one of the more lower scoring match-up’s that we see. Just 12 goals in the last 8 encounters, 7 of 8 going Under 2.5 goals and only 2 of 8 with Both Teams scoring.
Who’s going to score first? Good question but likely Southampton who’ve scored first in 5 of the last 6. Interestingly, 6 of the last 8 have been 0-0 at the break.
