Southampton is hoping for a win against Brentford in order to move out of the bottom three in the league table. This season is not optimistic for Southampton, as they had an early exit in the FA Cup. Brentford on the other hand is also hoping for a win, as they continue to chase for the European. A win in this match could make Brentford climb to the top seven of the league table, claiming a maximum points. This match is an important match for these two teams, so expect them to give their all in this game. Southampton welcomes Brentford on march 16, 2023, at 3:30 AM (GMT+8).
There are only 70 matches played by these two teams across all competitions, where it was the hosts who has an advantage. From those 70 games, they won 34 games, while the visitors had just 23 wins. Additionally, the hosts are on a good momentum at home, winning against Leicester City in a narrow 1-0 win. A win in this game could give them their first home consecutive win since February 2022. The visitors on the other hand are winless in their seven midweek games in the league. They are coming from a loss in this match, but are hoping not to experience another defeat. The visitors have yet to suffered consecutive defeats in the league this season.
Southampton
Southampton is currently at the most bottom of the league table with just 22 points across their name. However, a maximum points from a win would help them to move out of the relegation zone. If they are lucky enough to win against Brentford, they could climb up to the 16th spot of the league table. They struggled this season, which is why it is not surprising that they are at the bottom right now. They are coming from a goalless draw against Man United in their previous game. However, a draw is not what they need right now, despite earning a point in that fixture. Playing at home might be an advantage for them, especially that their last home game ended in a win.
Valentino Livramento, and Juan Larios continues to be absent for Southampton, as they continue to recover from their long-term injuries. Ainsley Maitland-Niles on the other hand is set to be assessed for this match. Aside from them, this squad is unlikely to make changes for their squad.
Brentford
Brentford on the other hand are in the ninth place in the league table with 38 points across their name. However, a win in this match could help them climb up to the seventh of the league table with 41 points. They are desperate for wins, as they continue to chase a spot in the European stage. It is just unfortunate that they are coming from a 1-0 defeat against Everton on their last match. With that, they are eager to bounce back in this game in order to get the maximum points. Bouncing back is not impossible though as they have been impressive this season. However, they need more guys like Bryan Mbeumo, and Ivan Toney who could step up for their squad.
Thomas Strakoshga, and Keane Lewiz-Potter are both ruled out in this game due to their injuries. Lewiz-Potter is set to be sidelined for two months after undergoing a surgery. Mads Roerslev on the other hand is doubtful in this game due to his hamstring issue.
Prediction:
Brentford (2.0)
