Southampton Arsenal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Looking at the two teams in detail we can see that Arsenal is more organized in different moments of the game, that is, it anticipates that it dominates and has the best chances to score goals. On the other hand, Southampton comes to this game unmotivated due to recent results. Taking into account these factors, risking in favor of the away team in this game is a good option.

Preview
Southampton and Arsenal meet at St. Mary's Stadium, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier League. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium couldn't be more balanced, as it shows 2 draws and 2 wins for each team in the last 6 head‑to‑heads. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Premier League, was on 10‑12‑2017, they tied (1‑1). C. Austin (3' ) scored for Southampton and O. Giroud (88' ) for Arsenal. Southampton registers significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth special attention.

Analysis Southampton

The home team is currently in the 19th position of the league, with 9 points won, after 1 win, 6 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Tottenham Hotspur, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Cardiff City, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 7 home league matches Southampton has a record of 5 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 5 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 7 home matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 16 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 8 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 4 of their 10 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Southampton comes to this game with a 1-0 away defeat to Cardiff, registering the second defeat in the English championship. It should be noted that the local team is the only one that has not yet won at home. The home team usually plays in 4-3-3, favoring a game style of constant transitions, where the three most advanced men are Redmond, Armstrong and Austin. One of the weaknesses of the home team is in the way it defends set pieces. Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl will not be able to count on Long, Gallagher and Bertrand for being injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Alex McCarthy, Yan Valery, Matt Targett, Maya Yoshida, Jannik Vestergaard, Jan Bednarek, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, Oriol Romeu, Nathan Redmond, Stuart Armstrong, Danny Ings.

Analysis Arsenal

The away team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 34 points won, after 10 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in an away match against Manchester United, by (2‑2). In the last match, they won in a home match against Huddersfield Town, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 36 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 11 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 29 goals scored and 12 conceded. In their last match, for the UEFA Europa League, they got a home win against Qarabağ by (1‑0). In the last 7 away league matches Arsenal has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, so they have won 14 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 6 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 1‑1 (4 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 38 of the last 58 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Arsenal heads to this game motivated after having beat Qarabağ by 1-0, in game to count for the Europa League. In the last game for the championship, Arsenal defeated Huddersfield. The away team usually plays in a 3-5-2 where the two men responsible for launching panic on the opposing defensive are Lacazette and Aubameyang: the second athlete is Arsenal's top scorer with 10 goals. Thus, and even away from home, it is expected that Arsenal will adopt a more offensive posture, bearing in mind that it presents more individual and collective quality. The coach will not be able to count on Mustafi and Sokratis, both suspended, as well as Holding, Welbeck and Smith-Rowe, these with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Bernd Leno, Bellerín, Nacho Monreal, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Laurent Koscielny, Granit Xhaka, Lucas Torreira, Mattéo Guendouzi, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alex Iwobi.
