Southampton v Tottenham Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Southampton v Tottenham Match Preview
Tottenham will be after some early festive cheer when they head for the South Coast on Sunday evening to face Premier League strugglers Southampton.
The North London outfit’s shortcomings have been well-documented this term, but Ange Postecoglou is unlikely to waver with his approach to the game.
A demoralising 4-3 defeat at home to Chelsea last weekend was followed by a limp display away to Rangers in the Europa League, but they picked up a point at Ibrox.
Southampton, on the other hand, have mustered just five points this term as they sit anchored to the bottom of the table.
Seemingly doomed, they could go down with one of the lowest point tallies in the league’s history (Derby, remember, were relegated with 11 points in the 2007/08 campaign).
Unforced errors have contributed to Southampton’s downfall this term, but can they add to Tottenham’s woes?
I have sifted through the betting markets and suggested a couple of single picks to accompany my Southampton v Tottenham predictions.
Tottenham to get the perfect pick-me-up
Relentless pressing and deploying high lines have been the hallmarks of Postecoglou’s tenure at Tottenham.
When it works, it can be very effective. Although Tottenham haven’t been short on goals in the league (31) with only Chelsea managing more (35), they have often been exposed at the back.
Maybe it isn’t a coincidence that Tottenham have lost three and drawn one of their league games after Europa League commitments on Thursdays.
In this calendar year, Tottenham have lost 14 of their 33 league games (W14, D5), which is one fewer than they did in the 42 games in 2023.
To the good news then. Tottenham are unbeaten in their last 13 league games against sides starting the day bottom of the table (W10, D3) since a 1-0 reverse against West Brom in 2018.
Tottenham have also only failed to score in one of their last 22 league meetings with Southampton, so that bodes well.
Cruel jokes have circulated on social media about teams profiting when they have received a visit from ‘Dr. Tottenham’. But for my opening gambit, I’m leaning into Tottenham to win & BTTS, and BetVictor have served up a teasing price of 31/20 for that outcome.
Son Heung-Min to weave his influence
Despite being the skipper, Son Heung-Min has found himself scrutinised for his performances.
Against Rangers, the South Korean was spearheading the attack as a No.9, but he is generally more devastating on the wing.
It’s fair to assert that Son enjoys facing Southampton. He has netted more goals against the Saints (10) than any other opponent.
He has also contributed the joint-most assists against Southampton in the league (five, level with Manchester City).
I think Son will weave his influence this weekend and lead from the front. To round off my Southampton Tottenham predictions, I’m backing Son to net a double, and Betfred have a sumptuous price of 8/1 should you fancy.
