Southampton Form

Southampton secured a place in the Championship play-offs and have a slim chance of automatic promotion. The Saints are fourth and seven points off the top two.

Four wins from seven, including three home victories, helped Russell Martin’s side secure play-off qualification. Southampton have also won their last two matches at home against Coventry (2-1) and Watford (3-2).

Will Smallbone and Che Adams put Southampton 2-0 up after 20 minutes against Watford. The Saints conceded in each half before Flynn Downes hit a 98th-minute winner.

Southampton Injuries & Team News

Defender Juan Larios and striker Ross Stewart are out.

Preston Form

Preston are eight points off the Championship play-offs with four fixtures remaining. North End’s top-six hopes have drifted following one win in four.

The Lilywhites ended a two-match winless run with a 4-1 victory at home against Huddersfield. Ryan Lowe’s outfit couldn’t build on this success and lost against Norwich (1-0) on Saturday.

Preston had opportunities to strike against Norwich with 13-15 shots but conceded in the 85th minute.

Preston Injuries & Team News

Defender Brad Potts and midfielder Ben Whiteman are ruled out.

Verdict

Southampton v Preston

Southampton will want a strong finish to the season, with automatic promotion still a possibility. The Saints are strong at home and can defeat an inconsistent Preston side.
