Southampton Crystal Palace betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash puts face-to-face two teams that have not performed well in the English Premier League as they both appear in the second half of the qualifying table with Southampton having a one-point advantage over its opponent. The home team has been very imprecise when it comes to completing, while its defense fails on the sidelines and in the aerial game, but stands out in tackles. Crystal Palace has a lot of difficulty in keeping ball possession and is also inefficient at the end, while its defense shows weakness in fighting more skillful players. So, as both teams are not showing much offensive power, it's a good option to bet in a few goals.

Preview
Southampton and Crystal Palace face at St. Mary's Stadium, in a match for the 22th round of the Premier League. In the last league head‑to‑head, played in 16‑09‑2017, Southampton got an away win by (0‑1). At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the home team, since they have a record of 5 wins and 2 losses in the last 7 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 05‑04‑2017, in a match for the Premier League, Southampton won by (3‑1). The goals of the match were scored by N. Redmond (45' ), M. Yoshida (83' ) and J. Ward‑Prowse (85' ), for Southampton, and by C. Benteke (31' ), for Crystal Palace. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Crystal Palace presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Southampton

After 4 wins, 8 draws and 9 losses, the home team is in the 13th position, havinf won 20 points so far. In the last match, they have tied in an away match against Manchester United by (0‑0), after in the previous match they have lost (5‑2) an away match against Tottenham Hotspur. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 7 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 14 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 15 goals scored and 22 conceded. In the last 10 home league matches Southampton has a record of 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses, so they have won 12 points out of 30 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. 7 of their last 11 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals, so there is a tendency for few goals in their home matches. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Southampton has not been campaigning satisfactorily in the Premier League, and knows it needs to start winning to not see its situation worsen in the second half of the competition. The team has not won for eight rounds, but comes from an away draw that can be considered a good result, as it was against Manchester United in a very balanced game. However, the lack of goals once again exposed a certain weakness of the offensive sector, which is among the worst of the competition. On the other hand, the team stands out for the quality in the exchange of passes, which has allowed a good ball possession. Playing at home, the team won only 13 of 33 points played, and in that condition has one of the most leaked defenses. The 4-2-3-1 has been the standard tactical formation used by the coach, who should keep Yoshida as a reference in the defense.

Confirmed Lineup: Alex McCarthy, Jérémy Pied, Ryan Bertrand, Jack Stephens, Maya Yoshida, Pierre-Emile Højbjerg, James Ward-Prowse, Oriol Romeu, Sofiane Boufal, Shane Long, Dušan Tadić.
Coach: R. Hasenhüttl.

Analysis Crystal Palace

The away team is currently in the 17th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 4 wins, 7 draws and 10 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in a home match against Arsenal, by (2‑3). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Manchester City, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 20 conceded. Their last away match for this competition ended in a draw by (1‑1) against Swansea City. In the last 10 away league matches Crystal Palace has a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, so they have won 6 points out of 30 possible. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (6 out of 10 matches) and after the 90' 1‑0 (4 out of 10 matches). Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 4 of the last 21 matches for the Premier League, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 4 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 21 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 14 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 10 away matches for this competition there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 14 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Crystal Palace is not going through a great time in the English Championship, although it has only one defeat in the last ten rounds, but it has not won for three matches. In the last of them, at home, the team missed many passes and had only 26% of ball possession, but managed to hold the powerful attack of Manchester City, thus conquering another point. The defensive performance in this clash was the great highlight, since until then it had not been acting in a satisfactory way, so much so that the team has one of the most leaked defenses of the competition. Away from home, the team owns the second worst campaign, and in this condition has the worst attack of all, with only four goals scored in ten matches. The coach has made some tactical changes on the team, but will probably keep Zaha among the eleven starts.

Confirmed Lineup: Wayne Hennessey, Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Jeffrey Schlupp, Martin Kelly, James Tomkins, Luka Milivojević, Yohan Cabaye, James McArthur, Andros Townsend, Christian Benteke, Wilfried Zaha.
Coach: O. Glasner.
