An important duel in the bottom section of the league table, with both teams experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic “six-pointer” with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 16th place.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Southampton form and stats
Southampton's results here at St. Mary's Stadium in the Premier League have been very modest with 2 victories, 1 draw and 5 defeats. The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at St. Mary's Stadium.
The fans are hoping that Southampton will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the Premier League game against Newcastle United (placed 11th). Before that, Southampton had a home game versus Norwich City which ended with a victory 2-1.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Southampton have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won 3 times, drawn 4 and lost 4.
Southampton has scored 9 league goals at home this season, in 8 matches. Neutralizing the opposition is a challenge, Southampton having conceded 23 goals here at St. Mary's Stadium so far.
West Ham United form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team on their Premier League travels is 2 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Arsenal with 1-3 on the scoreboard. A 0-2 defeat away at Wolverhampton Wanderers before that.
We have checked recent matches where West Ham United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those six games were W2-D1-L3.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting West Ham United as they have only managed to score 7 times from 8 away games in the league. As opposed to that, West Ham United have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
