It's been rough for Southampton so far, and I guess you could say the same about Fulham. The strugglers have a chance for some much needed points here.

Insights:
  • Fulham is in the worst form (0-1-5)

The hosts Southampton saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Premier League. This match was also played here at St. Mary's Stadium. With two consecutive home games the intense schedule is somewhat softened. Still, Fulham have had more rest.

Southampton are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. For Fulham it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.
