Southampton vs Liverpool
Hard game will be faced by Liverpool in the 33rd week of the Premier League this weekend. The Reds are required to win over Southampton who are in their best performance.
Southampton’s confidence in the game against Liverpool is indeed quite high. This is inseparable from the two successive wins that they have just gotten in the Premier League stage. The Saints were even able to secure 3 wins in their last 4 matches in the Premier League’s highest stage. With a series of victories Southampton managed to stay away from the relegation zone. Although currently not really safe, but with a distance of 5 points from the red zone, especially Southampton still keep 1 game remaining more than competitors – bottom rivals but now they are increasingly confident not to be relegated this season.
On the other hand, Manchester City’s 2-0 win over Cardiff City a few days ago forced Liverpool to go down to second place. The Reds are only 1 point adrift of Manchester City, but if you see the consistent performance of The Citizen, Liverpool need extra effort and a little luck to be able to end the fasting of the English League title this season.
Liverpool came to St. Mary’s Stadium with pretty good confidence. The Reds have been unbeaten in the Premier League since December last year by recording 7 wins and 5 draws in 11 matches. However, currently Liverpool are faced with a fairly tight schedule, which is a few days after a visit to St. Mary’s Stadium, Liverpool will face Porto in the first leg of the last 8 of the Champions League.
What’s worse, the Reds will be without their best defender, Virgil Van Dijk in the next few matches due to injury. It will be very interesting to see how strong the Liverpool defense line without Van Dijk is on this busy schedule.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.22
