The current Premier League season is very tough for Southampton. Especially the part from the end of October to the middle of February, when the team lost 9 of their 10 games with the aggregate score 7:21. The second manager for this season was sacked after that. Nathan Jones, who had substituted Ralph Hasenhuttl in November, now left too. Rubén Sellés was appointed and the team won two of three games. Southampton beat Chelsea and Leicester with the same score 1:0. The contract is until the end of the season, and it can be automatically prolonged for another season if the team avoids relegation. Fans believe in Rubén Sellés and they really hope that Southampton won’t be relegated to the Championship.
Brentford preview
Brentford is probably the most interesting team of the season. An average team holds places in the upper part of the table and still tries to get to the European cups. As of the beginning of March Brentford have a lossless streak of 12 matches of the Premier League (6 wins, 6 draws). The only mistake led to the elimination from the FA Cup by losing to West Ham United.
Home games are the main key to success for Brentford. The team has lost only one of their 13 Premier League games, it was the match versus Arsenal (0:3). Away games seem to be a kind of a problem for Brentford as they have lost some games with a big gap: to Newcastle United (1:5) and Aston Villa (0:4).
Betting tips Southampton vs Brentford
After Rubén Sellés became the head coach the players of Southampton started to feel free and confident. They realised that everything was possible after beating Chelsea and Leicester. Southampton are highly motivated as a couple of victories can bring the team to the middle of the table.
Despite Brentford being pretty impressive this season, their away games leave much to be desired (only 2 victories in 11 games). But they really can score. As of the beginning of March Brentford have scored in 11 of their last 12 Premier League games. The defensive line of Southampton is definitely not a fortress. This is why it’s very plausible that the away team will score.
To sum up our Southampton vs Brentford prediction, the home team is highly motivated and the away team likes to score. Betting on both teams to score seems to be a very logical option. Our tip for this game is Both teams to score at 1.80.
