Southampton form and stats

1 victory, 1 draw and 2 defeats. That’s what Southampton have to build on here at St. Mary's Stadium in the Championship. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Southampton with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Queens Park Rangers game, 34 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

The supporters are hoping that Southampton will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Middlesbrough (placed 22nd). Midfield player Smallbone got a match rating of 7.45 in that game, the max score being 10. Smallbone hit three key passes and had 45 successful passes (of 49 total).

Before that game, the home loss against Ipswich Town with the scoreline 0-1.

Southampton are traveling soon after this match as the Championship match at Stoke City awaits in three days.

A decent goal production from Southampton in their home games so far, with 7 goals from 4 league matches. As for conceded goals, Southampton's unpleasant statistic is 10 goals surrendered.
