Southampton News and Form

Arsenal tanked to a 2-0 loss out at Arsenal in a difficult game for them last weekend. They have struggled to get returns from their away games this season against the better sides, it has to be said. Southampton’s road record in matches this season against sides currently in the top half of the table is just D1 L6. So things don’t really look all that great for them in this fixture. Southampton have just the three away wins all season (D3 L8) in the top flight. That having been said there were unbeaten in three (W1 D2) before they made that trip to the Emirates last weekend.

The Saints have fallen short with their goalscoring form on their travels. They have produced only the 13 goals in 14 away games this season. They have failed to come up with a goal in two of their last four road fixtures. In total across the course of the season, Southampton have conceded an average of 1.8 goals per game. In total, the Saints have taken a clean sheet in 21% of road games. Southampton have been trailing at the break in 6 of their 14 road games. Both teams have scored in just half of their road games.
