Southampton form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Southampton have managed 5 wins, 7 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 16 games. With Southampton having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager Hasenhüttl.

The Southampton fans got no joy from their last match, also played here at St. Mary's Stadium: A 0-6 defeat against Chelsea (placed 3rd). As you see from the result above, Southampton suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one. Southampton's goalkeeper Forster was extremely busy against Chelsea, saving the team from a uglier defeat with a stunning eight saves.

Before that, Southampton played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Leeds United.

Southampton has scored 20 league goals at home this season, in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches.

Arsenal form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 7 wins, 1 draw and 6 defeats.

Arsenal have a lot to remedy after their shock defeat (1-2) to Brighton & Hove Albion in their previous game, played at their own home ground. Ødegaard got a match rating of 7.43 in that game, top player of the team. Ødegaard scored one goal, hit the woodwork once and had 31 successful passes (of 36 total).

Prior to that match, the Arsenal manager Amatriain faced defeat when travelling to Crystal Palace and losing 0-3.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Arsenal manager Amatriain as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Chelsea.

Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Arsenal have scored 20 goals in 14 league games away. As for defending, Arsenal rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 22 goals from these away matches.
