Southampton form and stats

Southampton have played three Premier League home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead.

In their previous game, the manager R. Hasenhüttl led his Southampton to a defeat in the Premier League match away at Tottenham Hotspur. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at St. Mary's Stadium. A strong away win before that one, visiting Portsmouth and winning 4-0.

Southampton has scored 3 league goals at home this season, in 3 matches. Southampton are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
