Everton

Southampton-Everton

Will Everton extend Southampton's losing run?

Southampton have a chance to end their run of two consecutive defeats when Everton arrive at St. Mary's. This match could be important for Saints to build some momentum for the rest of their season, particularly after they beat the Toffees 2-0 last time out. The larger history of this matchup sows some uncertainty for Southampton, who have only been victors in fourteen of their last forty-six Premier League matches against the Toffees.

Southampton | LLWLW | 14th | Top Scorer: C. Adams (2)

Southampton have found it difficult to pick up points of late and they now find themselves 14th in the table. This match is likely to be a low-scoring contest. Southampton average 0.9 xG (expected goals) per match, while Everton have only netted 4 times in their last 5. They'll be looking to James Ward-Prowse for inspiration in this match. With 1 assist so far this season, he leads the way for Southampton.

Everton | WDDDD | 13th | Top Scorer: A. Gordon (2)

Everton arrive with confidence and are unbeaten in their last 5 games. We can expect a cagey affair here. Everton average just 1.1 xG (expected goals) per match and Southampton have only scored 4 goals in their last 5 games. Jordan Pickford has been reliable in goal. He's recorded 20 saves and conceded only three goals over his last 5 games.

Prediction: Southampton 2-1 Everton

This one could go either way, but Southampton's firepower looks likely to be the difference between the two teams.
