Southampton

Source

Southampton were in the relegation zone prior to their meeting against Arsenal on 16th of December. A new coach was employed after sacking Mark Hughes. Hasenhuttl was appointed and having lost his first match, he has overseen 2 wins with 6 goals scored. They ended Arsenal 4 month unbeaten run of 22 games. This is a major boost as they brush aside Huddesfield in their last match.

Southampton have scored 9 goals in their last 5 matches and conceded 9 too. The new coach has implemented an attacking style with focus on Danny Ings who now have 3 goals in his last 2 matches.

Southampton will look to keep their current form going and will go out for the win. A win will see them move to 15th place in a bid to escape relegation

Westham

Source

Westham were on a four match winning streak before their shock loss at home to Watford. Currently ranked 12th, they can move as high as 8th with a win here. Pellegrini side will put their shock loss behind them and want to prove a point by winning against resurgent Southampton. Although considered outsiders in this game, they will be hoping to exploit the shaky Southampton defense. Westham last five games have seen them scoring at-least 2 goals except their last match against Watford. With the likes of Felipe Anderson and Javier Hernandez, they know they can outscore their opponents.

Facts

  • There have been over 1.5 goals in Westham last 8 matches
  • 5 of the last 6 meetings between both teams have seen over 2.5 goals
  • The last time Southampton lost a home game was against Chelsea back in 7th October
  • The last time Westham lost an away game was against Brighton & Hove Albion on 5th October

Prediction

This match can go either way. It will be an interesting game with both teams going for the win knowing what is at stake. Westham home loss against Watford could be the beginning of bad results for Pellegrini side. Southampton good form should continue with another strong showing today.
