Southampton vs Arsenal Prediction & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - October 21, 2022

Southampton vs Arsenal
English Premier League
Date: 23 October 2022, Sunday
Kick-off at 14:00 UK / 15:00 CET
Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium (Southampton).

Southampton picked up their first win since late-August on Wednesday evening when they saw off Bournemouth 0-1 on the road.

Che Adams’ early strike made all the difference in mid-week at Vitality Stadium as Southampton’s ambitions of avoiding the relegation scrap look much better ahead of the Matchday No 13 tie against Arsenal.

The Saints are heavy underdogs against the current section leaders who will come to St. Mary’s Stadium with an amazing record of nine wins in the opening ten games.

Arsenal took advantage of Manchester City’s loss to Liverpool last Sunday at Anfield to escape on a four-point margin at the top of the standings.

The Gunners somehow survived the trip to Elland Road, beating Leeds 0-1 as Patrick Bamford missed a penalty in the second half of the affair.

Interestingly, Mikel Arteta’s men were in action in mid-week as well, but not in the domestic league. They faced Dutch heavyweights PSV in the UEFA Europa League and picked up a 1-0 victory on Thursday night.

Arsenal now have three successive 1-0 wins in all competitions. They have kept five clean sheets in the previous six outings across competitions. Will they keep another one on Sunday?

Southampton vs Arsenal Head-to-head

• Arsenal have only won 18 of the previous 47 away games against Southampton.
• The teams have two wins apiece in the previous four head to head matches.
• Both teams were on target just once in the previous four H2H outings.

Southampton vs Arsenal Prediction

Arsenal are on a thread of three consecutive 1-0 wins in all competitions. They are up against a non-inspiring Southampton offense which scored 10 goals in the opening 11 league games so far on the season. Arteta knows how important this match is for his troops which is why we expect a strong and serious performance from the visitors here.

Arsenal to win to nil is the way to go at the 2.75 odds. You can also get the sky-high 9.00 odds offered for the Gunners to claim the 0-1 victory for the fourth successive time.
