SOUTHAMPTON – FULHAM PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS

Southampton has struggled in their first season first EPL season in 7 years as you would expect.  They have won just one of their first 6 matches, with 5 losses.  Unlike some of the clubs around them they are able to score goals however, with 10 goals in 6 matches.  Their big problem is their defence, conceding a huge 18 goals in just 6 games!

Fulham has had a decent start to the season and have picked up 9 points from their first 6 matches.  They are yet to draw a game with 3 wins and 3 defeats so far.  All of their matches have been over 2.5 goals and they have scored 13 goals while conceding 9.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

Southampton managed their first win in their last home match and they will hope St Mary’s can turn into a fortress that’ll allow them to gain enough points to stay up in the Premier League.  The fact they have managed to score goals will be a bonus for them, specifically Rickie Lambert getting 4 goals in his first 6 games.

Fulham have struggled with the loss of probably their two best players during the summer with Dembele and Dempsey both moving to Spurs.  Determined not to drop down the table money was spent on the last day of the transfer window, including a €5m purchase of Dimitar Berbatov from Man Utd.  Berbatov has already shown his value for money with 2 goals in as many starts and will be a big player for Fulham if they are to finish top 10 this year.

SOUTHAMPTON – FULHAM PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

There is literally nothing between the sides according to the bookies with both teams top priced at 2.75.  I feel this is about right with Fulham being the stronger side but the home advantage evening things out for the Saints.  I will give a slight nod to Southampton though due to their strong win at home last time out, we’ll see if they can take that confidence into this game and get another result.

Back a Southampton home win at 2.75 with bet365.

SOUTHAMPTON – FULHAM PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

With the teams so closely matched in the 1x2 market we can assume the Asian handicap will be set at 0, which it is.  This means an AH bet will be returned if the match ends in a draw, which is also known as ‘draw no bet’

Pinnacle are doing some excellent odds in this market with 1.97 on both teams, that is one of the smallest overrounds you’ll find for any market in football! 

SOUTHAMPTON – FULHAM PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Of the last 10 matches involving these teams, 9 of them have been over 2.5 Goals!

I will bet on that trend continuing with a very generous 1.8 on offer from Stan James.
