Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool are back in Premier League action this weekend when Ralph Hasenhuttl’s Southampton visit Anfield.

Liverpool Preview – Can the Reds pick up a massive three points?

Liverpool head into this one having drawn their last two in the Premier League. The Reds are now seven points behind Chelsea, who currently hold the final Champions League spot. However, after last weekend’s game with Manchester United was postponed due to crowd protests, Liverpool have a game in hand.

Liverpool were pretty much perfect on their own patch last season, but Jurgen Klopp’s boys have struggled at Anfield in front of no fans this term. At the time of writing, the Reds are seventh in the home table, winning just eight of 17.

Our betting prediction:
Both teams to score – No
19/20

(odds taken 1012 GMT, Friday 7 April)

 
In 2021, Liverpool have picked up just one Premier League home victory. They beat Aston Villa 2-1 on 10th April, which was their first home triumph since beating Tottenham Hotspur by the same scoreline on 16th December. Can Klopp’s Reds pick up all three points this Saturday?

Southampton Preview – Another bad away day for the Saints?

Ralph Hasenhuttl’s ten-man Southampton battled hard to draw 1-1 against Leicester City at St Mary’s last time out, a fixture that they lost 9-0 last season. Before then, the Saints had suffered back-to-back defeats to West Bromwich Albion and Tottenham.

Since beating Liverpool at St Mary’s at the start of the year, Southampton have been in dreadful form. Just two league wins have followed, with the Saints suffering 12 losses from their subsequent 16 Premier League encounters.

Southampton are ten points above the drop zone, so Hasenhuttl’s men will be a Premier League club next season. However, their alarming dip in form since the turn of the year will be a worry for the Saints faithful. Can they end the season on a high?

 

Liverpool vs Southampton Betting Advice

Liverpool beat Southampton home and away on their way to the Premier League title last season, scoring six and conceding just one. However, when the two locked horns at St Mary’s in the reverse league match this term, the Saints won 1-0 thanks to an early Danny Ings goal.

 

Key Facts – Liverpool vs Southampton Betting Tip

  • Liverpool have picked up just one home league win in 2021
  • The Reds are unbeaten in five in the league, winning three and drawing two
  • Since beating Liverpool in January, Southampton have won just twice in the PL

 

After last weekend’s postponement, Liverpool moved even further away from the top four. With that in mind, no less than three points this Saturday will suffice for the outgoing Premier League champions.

Southampton have struggled since their memorable win over the Reds in January, and we are backing the hosts to secure a comfortable home victory. You can get 15/8 for Liverpool to win -2.

The Reds romped to a 4-0 win in this corresponding fixture last season, with the prolific Mohamed Salah helping himself to a brace. Salah is available at 11/5 to open the scoring here.
