Southampton form and stats
Southampton are yet to win a home game, having collected 2 points from their first two Premier League games here at St. Mary's Stadium. Southampton are splitting points both home and away, currently holding an interesting streak of four drawn games in a row.
J. Ward-Prowse was the last player to score a league goal for Southampton and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Southampton haven't scored in 180 minutes. Southampton are confident in defense, having played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
An away draw last time out for Southampton, facing Sheffield United (after extra-time, 2-4 on penalties) in a game that ended 2-2. Midfield player Oriol Romeu got a match rating of 7.73 in that game, the max score being 10. Romeu served one assist, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 53 successful passes (of 60 total).
A 0-0 draw away in the Premier League before that, with Manchester City the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Southampton perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Southampton as a small favourite), we find six games. Southampton has won one of these, drawn one and lost four.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Southampton at home in the league. 1 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
