Liverpool vs Southampton Predictions


Liverpool are in decent form and top-scorer Mo Salah is eyeing the Premier League Golden Boot. Southampton are low on confidence following a poor run of results. I'm backing a Liverpool win to nil and Mo Salah to score at Anfield on Saturday night. 

  • Liverpool have won 3 of their last 5 matches (Premier League)
  • Liverpool’s Mo Salah has scored 6 goals in his last 7 matches for club and country (all competitions)
  • Liverpool’s Mo Salah has scored 7 goals in his last 7 matches against Southampton (Premier League)
  • Liverpool have won 6 of their last 7 matches against Southampton (Premier League)
  • Liverpool have won to nil in their last 3 home matches against Southampton (Premier League)
  • Southampton have lost 3 of their last 4 matches (all competitions)

Head-to-Head


Liverpool have a 57-31 advantage against Southampton with 25 matches drawn. 

Liverpool Form 


Liverpool’s match against Man United was postponed on Sunday due to fan protests. 

The Reds were held to a 1-1 draw against Newcastle two weeks ago, their third consecutive draw in all competitions. 

Liverpool led through Mo Salah’s early goal. The Reds dominated with 22 shots and 68% possession but Newcastle equalised in the 95th minute. 

The draw extended Liverpool’s unbeaten run in the Premier League to five matches. Liverpool beat Wolves, Arsenal and Aston Villa before consecutive draws against Leeds and Newcastle. 

The dropped points leave Jurgen Klopp’s side seventh in the Premier League and four points off the Europa League places. 

Liverpool Injuries & Team News


Defenders Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip are ruled out through injury.

Striker Divock Origi, goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher and midfielder Jordan Henderson are also unavailable. 

Southampton Form


Southampton drew 1-1 at home with Leicester on Friday, ending their three-match losing streak in all competitions.

Jannik Vestergaard was sent off on 10 minutes and Southampton struggled with five shots and 29% possession. James Ward-Prowse’s second-half penalty gave the Saints the lead but they conceded a late equaliser. 

Southampton’s poor run of form has seen their season tail off in recent weeks. Disappointing Premier League away losses to West Brom and Tottenham came either side of a 1-0 FA Cup semi-final defeat to Leicester. 

The Saints are 15th in the Premier League and 10 points off the relegation places. 

Southampton Injuries & Team News


Striker Michael Obafemi remains doubtful due to a lack of match fitness.

Forward Takumi Minamino is unable to face his parent club and defender Jannik Vestergaard is suspended. 

Forward Danny Ings, full-back Ryan Bertrand and midfielders Oriol Romeu and William Smallbone are unavailable due to injury.

Verdict

Liverpool have a good record against Southampton at Anfield and the Saints' away record is not great. Mo Salah wants the Golden Boot and Liverpool have a solid defensive record against Southampton. I'm backing a Liverpool win with BTTS and Salah to find the back of the net.
