This match features two teams living in the basement of the Premier League, Sheffield United holding 20th place and Southampton lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
- Sheffield United have the fewest scored goals (16) in Premier League
- Southampton is in the worst form (0-1-5)
Sheffield have less rest than Southampton in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Premier League game only three days ago. This match was also played here at Bramall Lane. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Southampton have had more rest.
Sheffield United form and stats
With 3 Premier League wins, 1 draw and 10 defeats from their home games, Sheffield United, who have the fewest scored goals (16) in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Ahead of that match, Sheffield lost 0-2 at home to Liverpool.
Sheffield aren't scoring a lot here at Bramall Lane in the league, with only 10 goals from 14 games. On the other hand, Sheffield have conceded 20 goals.
Southampton form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Southampton, who have the most conceded goals (28) away in Premier League, so far with only 13 points returning home. The records show 3-4-6 (win-draw-lose). A depressing five defeats in a row for Southampton in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Fulham.
Southampton have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 237 minutes ago. T. Minamino was the goal scorer.
There might be some fixture complaints from Southampton as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Premier League match against Everton (0-1). It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Leeds United wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The Premier League trip to Manchester City.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Southampton have scored 14 goals in 13 league games away. The Southampton manager R. Hasenhüttl has some worries about the defense as 28 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
The most recent history between these sides is the Southampton - Sheffield 3-0 played earlier this season. Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Sheffield, one draw and five wins for Southampton. Over 2,5 goals: six times; under 2,5 goals: four games.Top Goalscorers
