Liverpool vs Southampton Prediction, H2H and Probable Lineups - March 8, 2025
One of the clashes of the 28th round of the English Premier League will be played on Saturday at Anfield, where the local Liverpool will host Southampton. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this confrontation with good chances of winning.
Match Preview
Liverpool is showing impressive stability, remaining unbeaten in the Premier League for 24 matches. During this period, Arne Slot's team has recorded 17 wins and 7 draws, confidently maintaining their lead in the championship. The advantage over the nearest pursuer is 13 points, although the competitors have a game in hand.
In the last two rounds, the Reds achieved important victories over direct competitors for Champions League spots. First, they defeated Manchester City away (2-0), and then they triumphed over Newcastle at Anfield with the same score. Meanwhile, Liverpool remains the most prolific team in the league, having already scored 66 goals. Midweek, Liverpool defeated PSG away with a score of 0-1 in the Champions League playoffs.
Ivan Juric's team continues to firmly hold the last place in the standings, remaining in a critical position. The gap from the saving 17th position has already reached 13 points, and a series of three consecutive defeats has only exacerbated the situation. In these matches, the team conceded 11 goals, managing to respond with only one goal: home failures against Bournemouth (1-3) and Brighton (0-4), as well as an away fiasco with Chelsea (0-4).
The defense remains the weakest in the league – the team has already retrieved the ball from their net 65 times. Moreover, in the last 17 Premier League matches, the club has suffered 14 defeats, managing to secure only one victory and drawing twice.
