Southampton Preview – Can Southampton find home comfort?
After finishing last season’s Premier League campaign in positive fashion with Southampton putting together an impressive seven-match unbeaten sequence, the hosts have made a somewhat tentative start to this new season.
An opening day 1-0 defeat away from home at Crystal Palace was followed by a 2-0 defeat at home to Championship side, Brentford, in the League Cup, so Saints will no doubt be keen to get off the mark in this opening home fixture in the Premier League against Tottenham on Sunday.
Results at home towards the end of last season produced a mixed return for Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side though as they won six but lost five within this period but they did register a 1-0 win over Tottenham in their previous home meeting against Spurs and they’ll be hoping they can repeat that scoreline this Sunday.
Tottenham Preview – Can Tottenham bounce back?
Sunday’s visitors, Tottenham, also ended last season on a positive note as they were unbeaten in their final six matches of the campaign which earned them a 6th place finish in the top flight and a place in the Europa League qualifiers.
However, 37 matches into his tenure at the north London club and manager, Jose Mourinho, has been unable to replicate Tottenham’s former position in the top four that was enjoyed during the Pochettino era, while Tottenham’s away record of last season of 4-8-7 25/30 must be improved upon this term if they’re to break into the top four or even top five.
Spurs also produced a mixed bag of results away from home towards the end of last season as they won 3, drew 5 and lost 3 of their final 11 matches on their travels but their midweek 2-1 win in the Europa League away at Bulgarian outfit, Lokomotiv Plovdiv, should give the visitors a timely boost ahead of Sunday’s clash down on the south coast.
