Crystal Palace have collected 13 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-4-1.

Palace's last game was hosting Everton (placed 14th) and winning 3-1. Conor Gallagher (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 9.23/10. Gallagher scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 45 successful passes (of 48 total).

Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Manchester United (0-1).

This is expected to be a close game, with Crystal Palace perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Crystal Palace as a small favourite), we find eight games. Palace has won four of these, drawn two and lost two.

Palace are traveling soon after this match as the Premier League match at Watford awaits in three days.

Southampton form and stats

Southampton have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 1-2-5 (8 played). The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Hasenhüttl, the Southampton manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Southampton, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus Arsenal (placed 6th). Ibrahima Diallo got a match rating of 7.04 in that game, top player of the team.

A draw for Southampton before that, at their own venue hosting Brighton & Hove Albion (1-1).

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Southampton in our archives, and the results are: five wins for Southampton, two draws and two defeats.

After this away game Southampton return home for a Premier League game against Brentford. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Southampton as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. For Southampton, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net. It's worth mentioning that 9 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: three - two - five (Palace wins - draws - Southampton wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
