Southampton vs Liverpool prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - November 24, 2024
One of the standout fixtures in the 12th round of the English Premier League takes place on Sunday at St. Mary's Stadium, where Southampton hosts Liverpool. Here’s a betting preview with a promising opportunity for success.
Match Preview
Southampton's struggles in the Premier League continue unabated. Before the international break, the Saints suffered a 0-2 away defeat to Wolves, adding to their woes despite a prior 1-0 victory over Everton—their first win of the season. They remain entrenched in the relegation zone, now four points adrift of safety in 17th place.
The Saints possess the league's weakest attack, netting just seven goals so far. Their dismal Premier League run stretches to 24 matches, with 18 losses, one win, and five draws. Furthermore, they've failed to secure victory in 11 of their last 12 home fixtures, managing only three draws and eight defeats.
Meanwhile, Arne Slot’s Liverpool continue their commanding form atop the Premier League, extending their lead over Manchester City to five points with a 2-0 win against Aston Villa. This triumph extended the Reds' unbeaten run in the league to seven matches, six of which ended in victories, alongside one draw.
The Merseysiders exhibit a balanced approach, boasting the league's most potent attack and the stingiest defense, having conceded just six goals. Their away form remains formidable, with four wins and a draw against Arsenal in five road games, underscoring their title credentials.
