Liverpool V Southampton Predictions & Betting Odds

Liverpool v Southampton Betting Tips – Premier League, 22nd September 3.00pm

It is all positive surrounding Liverpool at the moment. They are defending a 100% record on the weekend in the Premier League and they got extra joy in midweek with a victory over PSG in the UEFA Champions League. Southampton could be in for a difficult afternoon at Anfield as they are on the hunt for just their second league win of the season. Read our predictions for Liverpool v Southampton.

Liverpool News and Form

It has been a hugely positive start to the new Premier League for Liverpool who have posted five wins from five. Defensively they have been much better at the back this term and have shipped just two goals. The goals conceded have been in their last two games, which were 2-1 away wins over Leicester and Tottenham. Liverpool have netted at least two goals in all but one of their five league games this season, so in the correct score market a Liverpool 2-0 correct score has a decent chunk of appeal at 6/1 odds for this weekend’s fixture* (Betting Odds were taken from September 19th, 2018 at 6:42 p.m.). It is hard seeing them slip up in this one.

Liverpool’s two home games this season have produced a 4-0 win over West Ham and a 1-0 win over Brighton. With that in mind there is the simple option of Liverpool to win to nil at 5/6 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 19th, 2018 at 6:42 p.m.). The Reds have banked a clean sheet in each of their last seven home games in the Premier League which is a brilliant return. They are undefeated in their last 23 home matches as well in the top flight. We have spotted another trend with them as Liverpool have been winning at half time and full time in each of their last six games.

Southampton News and Form

This is going to be a difficult game for Southampton who are looking for only their second victory of the season. Their overall record so far this season in the top flight is W1 D2 L2 with their lone victory coming out on the road against Crystal Palace. Their first away game of the new term ended in a 2-1 loss at Everton. Last weekend they threw away a lead to end up only drawing 2-2 in a south-coast derby against Brighton. They don’t look a mighty prolific goal-scoring side but they have netted exactly two goals in both of their last two games.

Unfortunately for them, Danny Ings, who has gotten the bulk of their goals, has to miss this one because Liverpool is his parent club. So it could be Charlie Austin coming in to lead the line instead. As we don’t see them scoring in the game under 2.5 goals is well worth a flutter at 8/5 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 19th, 2018 at 6:42 p.m.). Liverpool have more scoring power in them, but we are taking into consideration the effort of the Reds in the Champions League in midweek. Even though Liverpool have conceded in their last two games, the Saints could struggle to have an offensive output.

Liverpool v Southampton Head to Head

Liverpool were comfortably on top last season in their league meetings with Southampton. They took back to back clean sheet wins against the Saints. That is a four-game unbeaten stretch of league form that they are on against Southampton at the moment with a W2 D2 record. The last six meetings in all competitions have seen both teams score in a fixture. Liverpool are W3 D2 L1 in their last six Premier League games against Southampton and are W2 D2 on home soil against them.
