Southampton vs Preston Prediction & Betting Tips

Southampton vs Preston Preview

Southampton extended their winless streak to four matches last weekend following their 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers. The Saints started the game brightly and even drew first blood in the first half when Leo Scienza’s right-footed shot rolled into the net in the 23rd minute. However, an underwhelming performance in the second half ensured that Southampton surrendered their lead and even ended the game with ten men. This means they will be without the services of Wellington, who was sent off for a dangerous foul in injury time.

At St. Mary’s Stadium, Soton are without a win in four games, drawing each of their last three and losing one prior. Ending this streak could be a landmark victory for the hosts, who are desperate to turn their situation around.

On the other hand, Preston returned to winning ways following their victory over Sheffield United in a five-goal thriller. The visitors started the game on the back foot as they conceded two goals in the first sixteen minutes. However, they bounced back in the final minute of the first half when they halved the deficit, before turning the scoreline around in the second half.

Away from home, Preston’s form has been mixed with two wins, a draw, and two defeats. Head coach Paul Heckingbottom will ensure that he steers his side back toward the positive side of stability, as they are just inches away from the promotion playoff spots.

Southampton vs Preston Prediction

We back both teams to score because this has happened in five of the last six head-to-head meetings between the two teams and in eight of Southampton’s last nine matches.

Lastly, we anticipate at least three goals because the last six head-to-head meetings between these sides have averaged 3.8 goals per game. This trend suggests a result leaning towards over 2.5 goals.
