Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Southampton in 13th and Burnley in 11th place.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Southampton form and stats
With 3 Premier League wins, 2 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, Southampton, who have the most conceded goals (28) at home in Premier League, are certainly not brimming with confidence.
Southampton are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 2-3 away versus Tottenham Hotspur. A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 0-4 away at Liverpool.
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Southampton matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and one defeat (from four games).
The Southampton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Southampton with 28 goals conceded in these matches.
Burnley form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Burnley so far with only 12 points returning home. The records show 3-3-6 (win-draw-lose).
237 minutes! That's how long the Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Burnley delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Arsenal (placed 10th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. A 1-2 loss hosting Norwich City before that.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Burnley playing away, we found seven games. Results were zero away wins, two draws and five home wins.
Burnley are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 12 away goals from 12 games (in the league). In the opposite end, Burnley have conceded 20 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
The last H2H meeting was Burnley - Southampton 3-0, played this season. Last ten meetings between the teams: Southampton won three, Burnley won four and three draws. three games with over 2,5 goals, seven matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
