Southampton v Liverpool Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Southampton v Liverpool Match Preview
Arne Slot’s men salvaged a point in a hard-fought draw at home to Fulham last weekend in the Premier League, and let’s not forget they played most of the 90 minutes with 10 men following Andy Robertson’s first-half dismissal.
Little damage was done as Arsenal dropped points at home to Everton. Although Chelsea beat Brentford 2-1, the Reds still top the table, and they have a game in hand.
Southampton’s miserable season continued last Sunday as they slumped to a 5-0 defeat at home to Tottenham, and they capitulated inside the first 25 minutes, resulting in the departure of Russell Martin as manager.
While the EFL Cup could provide some brief respite, they have a serious task on their hands to maintain their top-flight status.
But how will events unfold in midweek? I have cast my eye over the betting markets and supplied a couple of Southampton Liverpool predictions for you to mull over.
No sweat for Liverpool
A clean sweep of all club trophies is still on for Liverpool, but Slot will take things just one game at a time and not look too far ahead.
Top of the Premier League and at the summit of the Champions League, things have been going swimmingly, and Slot will have scarcely imagined things would have been this smooth when he took over last summer.
While things were a bit disjointed against Fulham at Anfield, they battled gamely to secure a point, and it was the hallmark of champions as they picked up a result when not at their fluent best.
Southampton, in stark contrast, were obliterated by Tottenham, and they have been shipping in goals at an alarming rate. 11 goals conceded in their past three outings encapsulates this.
Although the Saints progressed to the League Cup Final at the expense of the Reds when they last met in the competition in January 2017, Liverpool were 6-1 winners when they clashed in the quarter-finals nine years ago.
Liverpool are the competition’s most successful team with 10 triumphs to their name, and they will look to extend that this season.
I don’t see Liverpool coming up short at St Mary’s. Given Southampton’s malaise, the win to nil line for Liverpool appeals to me. Betfred has you sorted out with a short 8/5 price for that outcome.
Cody Gakpo to put Saints to the sword
There is a misconception that Liverpool are over-reliant on Mo Salah. Yes, the Egyptian talisman invariably delivers, but the Reds can count on others to step up to the plate.
Cody Gakpo is one such player, and he’s been on a roll, scoring three times in his past five appearances. To date, he’s netted nine times in all competitions this term.
As far as the EFL Cup is concerned, the Dutchman is the top scorer, registering four goals.
Gakpo is a menace, and he can score all types of goals. To round off my Southampton Liverpool predictions, I’m going with Gakpo to steer the Reds to the semi-finals and to bag a double. Unibet has obliged with an eye-catching 23/2 price if you wish to explore further.
