Tottenham Hotspur Southampton betting prediction

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 15^th last season. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 16 goals scored and 30 conceded; against 6 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 23 goals scored and 25 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got a home loss against Villarreal by (1‑2). In the last 10 away matches Southampton has tied 5 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 2 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 1. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Southampton comes to this clash after a 1-2 defeat against Villarreal, counting for pre-season: the team's only goal was signed by Joe Aribo. The visiting club should play in 4-4-2, favoring a style of play of constant transitions, trying to take advantage of an opponent's mistake. The two arrows aimed at the opposing goal will be Adam Armstrong and Che Adams, and the player responsible for defining and leading the attacks of his team is midfielder James Ward-Prowse. Out of this game are Theo Walcott and Nathan Tella, both with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Gavin Bazunu, Mohammed Salisu, Kyle Walker-Peters, Yan Valery, Jan Bednarek, James Ward-Prowse, Moussa Djenepo, Roméo Lavia, Joe Aribo, Oriol Romeu, Adam Armstrong.
Coach: R. Hasenhüttl.
