Southampton vs Tottenham Prediction 18.03.2023

• Competition: England - Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 18th, March 2023
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK/16.00 CET
• Venue: St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)

It is obvious that something is squeaking and missing in Southampton's game, because it is really illogical that a team with a high budget and many talented players is going through a period of crisis for several years now. The current season is particularly bad for The Saints, they showed the least of all the teams in the Premier League, they are cemented to the bottom of the table with 22 collected points (two less than the safety zone), so it is no wonder that they are expected in the very finish fierce battle for survival in the company of the best.

Even under the command of Antonio Conte, Tottenham did not manage to end the 15-year trophy drought, so Spurs have another forgettable season in a row, while the Italian strategist is slowly packing his suitcase and preparing to leave from the London Club. Tottenham was eliminated in the third round of the EFL Cup, in the round of 16 of the FA Cup, in the first round of the knockout phase of the UEFA Champions League, while in the Premier League they are currently 4th, but their position is shaky, considering that Newcastle is breathing down their necks and he could take over their position in the following period, because they have two games less.

Southampton shocked Tottenham last season in 2021/22, taking four points from them in their head-to-head duels. However, in the first week of the current season of the Premier League, The Saints felt on their skin the real offensive power of the London club, who completely cleaned them from the field, in a 4-1 victory.

When it comes to meetings between Southampton and Tottenham, the first association for us is of course goals. How effective their clashes are is best witnessed by the data that in only one of the last 10 duels the nets were not shaken on both sides, while in the last six an incredible 27 goals were scored - 4.5 per match.

Just when it seemed that The Saints found a plan to escape from the dangerous zone, tied two games without defeat and won four points in difficult challenges with Leicester (1-0) and Manchester United (0-0), a reset followed. They disappointed their fans and returned to the old regime, losing 0-2 to Brentford in mid-week.

It was the 17th defeat for Southampton in this year's edition of the Premier League from 27 games played, and the third in the previous five competitive games, and therefore a bad overture before a much more difficult challenge on Saturday. They welcome Spurs, who outplayed them on four occasions in the last six meetings.

Realization is something that troubles them the most this season. The club from Hampshire is the lowest scorer in the championship with 20 goals scored, while they found the back of the net only once in the last four games.

We have already written that Tottenham have another terrible season in a row, but Spurs are simply not in such a situation to think too much about recent failures, but have to remain maximally focused on the only remaining goal until the end of the season, and that is keeping the place among the first four that lead in UCL.

The league form from the London club is decent of late with three triumphs from their last four games. However, their recent visits have ended badly for Spurs, as they have lost each of their last four games. But, Conte and his team are aware that they no longer have the right to stumble if they want to play elite football in Europe next season, so they should catch all the spoils from this visit.
