Southampton vs Liverpool: Betting Insights, Preview and Predictions

Southampton’s return to the Premier League has been pretty rough. After a thrilling win over Everton, the Saints hit a wall with a 2-0 loss to Wolves, leaving them stuck at the bottom of the table with a tough record. Now, they’re up against league leaders Liverpool, which is no easy task. History isn’t on Southampton’s side. Teams with ten losses in their first 12 top-flight games usually get relegated. But there’s a tiny spark of hope at St Mary’s, where they’ve only lost one of their last eight home games against teams at the top of the league.

Liverpool, on the other hand, loves these matchups. The top team has won 12 of the last 14 games against the team at the bottom. They also have a strong record against Southampton, winning 11 of their last 13 meetings, with seven of those being clean sheets.
After international breaks, Liverpool tends to come alive, with just two losses in their last 26 league games. Manager Arne Slot is eager to make history by matching the record for the fastest to reach ten Premier League wins.

Keep an eye on Adam Armstrong, who scored the winner in three of his last four games and netted against Liverpool last time they played. Also, Cody Gakpo, who scored in that match, has found the net six times this season, all after halftime.
