Southampton vs. Liverpool: Preview and betting tips

Liverpool will have to win their penultimate game in the title fight on Tuesday at Southampton. The home team can be calm, after Sunday’s draw with Leeds they are already saved, so the home game with the Reds can be a pleasant farewell to the fans.

Southampton saved themselves relatively quickly thanks to good results from the beginning of the year, but in recent weeks they have not been giving good performances. They are out of the cups, currently in 15th place.

Liverpool can take advantage of the hesitation of Manchester City, who only drew with West Ham on Sunday. In the event of a win, the Reds will be one point behind with a round to go, with the Citizens playing their last game against Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa.

The master of direct kicks, James Ward-Prowse, author of nine league goals and five assists, is having an excellent season. Albanian striker Armando Broja, visiting from Chelsea, has made six appearances and assisted one goal.

The visitors are paced by the league’s top scorer Mohamed Salah, hitting twenty-two times and assisting fourteen. Thiago Alcantara is also doing well, his 1+3 record is not very telling, the Spanish midfielder, for example, was nominated for the best player of the month.

Both teams should be complete, with only Toni Livramento and Fabinho missing for the Reds.

Southampton are not doing well at home, losing five of their last six games in front of their fans.

Liverpool, on the other hand, have been rolling in the Premier League, winning five of the last six rounds and winning six of the last seven away from home.

Considering the scary form of the home side and the rampant away attack, I think Liverpool will win by at least two goals.
