Southampton vs Brentford Predictions & Match Preview

Steffen Schmidt - March 14, 2023

Southampton vs Brentford
UEFA Champions League
Date: 15 March 2023, Wednesday
Kick-off at 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
Venue: St. Mary’s Stadium (Southampton).

Southampton have found themselves another lifeline by claiming two four points in the previous two Premier League games.

It is a magnificent return for Ruben Selles and his troops if we know they have faced the likes of Leicester and Manchester United in the process.

Casemiro’s red card in the first half of the clash at Old Trafford did serve as a huge boost for the Saints on Sunday afternoon but it was still a great result for them nevertheless.

Selles can be particularly satisfied with the improvements in his team’s defensive performances as Southampton kept back-to-back clean sheets in the previous two league outings.

As a matter of fact, the Saints allowed just one goal in the last four league games, none of which saw two or more goals scored.

Selles’ troops at still at the very foot of the league ladder but they are now only two points shy of the safe zone.

A win over Brentford on Wednesday evening would see the Saints finally escape the relegation area for the first time in weeks.

However, getting a result against the Bees will be anything but an easy task given Brentford’s outstanding campaign in this term of the Premier League.

Thomas Frank’s men had been undefeated in twelve subsequent league games before falling 1-0 away at Everton on Saturday afternoon.

Southampton vs Brentford Head-to-head

• A win here for Southampton would make the head to head record all square at four wins, draws, and losses for each team.
• The Saints have won just one of the previous five home encounters with the Bees.
• Brentford celebrated a demolishing 3-0 victory when they faced the Saints in the first half of the season.

Southampton vs Brentford Prediction

Brentford did not look great in the weekend’s game at Goodison but the match against the rock-bottomed Southampton will give them a great chance to return to winning ways immediately.

The quality is on the side of the Bees who eased past Southampton in the return game in the first half of the season as well. We’ll take the away win pick at the 2.50 odds, while those who prefer correct score punts can chase the 0-2 bet at the 13.00 odds.
