Southampton vs Manchester United Prediction

Southampton Form

Southampton are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Nottingham Forest by a 0-1 score, before winning 3-5 against Cardiff. They were back on the losing side in a 3-1 defeat against Brentford. Southampton didn't manage a single win in any of their previous six Premier League games at the St. Mary's Stadium. They have a record of one draws and five defeats, in which they conceded 14 and scored five goals.

While a title race is perhaps a too optimistic a longthrow, a podium finish does not look beyong Manchester United, should they manage to catch a strong momentum.

Manchester United Form

Manchester United have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Fulham by 1-0. Disappointment followed, going down 2-1 against Brighton, and 0-3 against Liverpool. Manchester United managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Premier League. On top of winning once they also drew two as well as losing three, while scoring 13 time and letting in nine.

While a title battle is perhaps a long shot, a top three finish does not look beyond Manchester United, should they catch some strong momentum in this early phase of the campaign.

Manchester United and Southampton seem to find it tough getting their defensively lines in order, as they both concede too many goals. We hope the trend continues this coming Saturday, as we aim for both teams to score.
