On Saturday afternoon, two of the teams fighting against relegation in the Premier League meet at St Marys, as Southampton host Stoke City.
Southampton are currently only outside the Premier League relegation zone on goal difference. Last time out the Saints drew 1-1 at Burnley but needed a late goal from Manolo Gabbiadini to avoid defeat.
One of the biggest problems of late for the team from the south coast is that they have drawn too many games in the league. In fact, they have drawn four of their last six Premier League games.
Top-flight wins have been hard to come by for Mauricio Pellegrino’s side, who have won just one of their last 15 league games. Their recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in four of their last five league games.
The Saints home record is a big part of their struggles this season in the Premier League, as they have failed to win in their last seven games on home soil in the league.
Stoke are currently 19th place in the table, but just a point behind the home side in the table. A victory on the south coast would be a massive one for Paul Lambert's side.
The Potters recent form has not been terrible, as they have lost just one of their last five league games. However, three of those five top-flight games have finished all square, so they need to start picking up wins to escape the drop zone. Last time out in the league, the visitors drew 1-1 at Leicester.
Winning games on their travels has been a big problem for the Potters of late, as they have failed to win in their last nine away games in the top-flight.
Forebet predicts that Southampton’s recent winless home record and Stoke’s recent winless away record will continue in this clash, with this game finishing in a low scoring draw.
