Liverpool vs Southampton Prediction & Expert Tips

Liverpool vs Southampton Match Preview

Liverpool head into this clash in relentless form, having won all of their last five competitive matches. They edged Everton 2–1 in the Merseyside derby and produced another dramatic 3–2 victory over Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

Domestically, they have been efficient in the Premier League if not always flamboyant, with narrow wins against Burnley (0–1) and Arsenal (1–0), as well as a 2–3 away success at Newcastle. Their balance of defensive solidity and clinical finishing has carried them through tricky fixtures, though they have conceded in three of their last four matches.

Southampton’s preparations have been far less convincing. They come into this after a 3–1 defeat at Hull, which followed a goalless draw against rivals Portsmouth. Prior to that, they had shown promise with a 3–0 win at Norwich and a spirited 2–2 draw with Watford, but inconsistency has hampered their momentum.

With only one victory in their last five matches, the Saints look vulnerable against a Liverpool side that has built confidence from big results at home and abroad.

Head-to-head history also favours the hosts heavily. Liverpool have won four of the last five meetings, scoring at least twice in each of those victories. Their last Anfield encounter ended 3–1 in March 2025, while a year earlier they ran out comfortable 3–0 winners in the FA Cup.

Southampton have not beaten Liverpool since a 4–4 thriller in 2023, and recent meetings show a consistent pattern of goals at both ends.

Liverpool vs Southampton Prediction

Liverpool’s form and head-to-head dominance make them clear favourites at Anfield. The Reds’ attack has consistently punished Southampton, and another high-scoring win looks likely. The market for Over 1.5 First Half Goals (1.90 odds) is appealing, as four of Liverpool’s last five matches have seen strong starts and quick goals.

For a Correct Score Tip, Liverpool 3–1 (9.50 odds) fits both recent history and current form. Liverpool’s forwards should ensure multiple goals, but with the Saints having scored in three of their last four away games, they could still find a consolation strike.
