Southampton News and Form

Southampton have really turned themselves around and have given themselves a great shot at survival this season. There are currently on an unbeaten run of three games in the Premier League, having won their last two. Both of those victories were by a 2-1 scoreline, happening over Leicester and then Everton.

Southampton have only won two home games this season but both of those victories have been turned out in their last four home games played. Those two victories were against Everton and prior to that, Arsenal. Southampton have totalled 13 goals at home this season, conceding 18. 73% of their home games have gone over 2.5 goals.

Southampton have earned a clean sheet in 18% of their home games this season, but both teams have scored 73% of games at St Mary’s. Southampton have hit the back of the net in each of their last six home League games. But you can turn around and look at the negative because they have conceded in each of their last six as well on home soil.

Each of the last five Premier League fixtures at St Mary’s have ended up finishing over 2.5 goals. 61% of the goals that Southampton have conceded at home this season have turned up in the second half of their fixtures.

Crystal Palace News and Form

Granted Crystal Palace have faced some tricky and tough games lately, but there are starting to nervously look over their shoulder again at the relegation zone. That Eagles lost 4-3 at Liverpool in their last game, all of their hard work being unravelled at the end of the game. That has left Crystal Palace with three defeats in their last four games played.

Crystal Palace have taken a W4 D1 L7 record on their travels this season. Before that loss at Anfield, Crystal Palace had actually won back-to-back away games, claiming victories at Manchester City and then Wolves. Palace have scored 17 away goals this season, conceding 21.

Around half of Crystal Palace’s away games, this season have ended up finishing over 3.5 goals. Palace have taken a clean sheet in a third of their away games, and even though they have lacked a big scoring threat at times this season, they have only failed to score in two away games. Palace have actually netted in each of their last five games away from Selhurst Park in the EPL.

The Eagles have conceded 71% of their away goals after the half-time break of fixtures, while they have scored 65% of their away goals in the second half of matches too. With a much better away record than home record this season, is their survival going to end up being reliant on those away performances?
