There are six matches to be played in the English Premier League on Saturday the 30th of April including the meeting between Southampton and Crystal Palace.

The hosts being the weekend in 13th place on 40 points while the visitors are in 14th place on 38 points, so this is an important game in terms of final placings this season.

Southampton come into the match having picked up a point in a 2-2 draw at Brighton and Hove Albion last weekend. The Saints were 2-0 down at half-time but did well to fight back in the second half, scoring 2 goals in the space of 9 minutes to get back into the game. However, Southampton could not find a winning goal.

That result means Southampton have recorded only 1 win from their 9 most recent fixtures in all competition.

The victory came at home against Arsenal, with the only goal coming shortly before the interval. Home form in the Premier League shows Southampton have lost 3 of their last 4 games. There have been defeats against Newcastle United, Watford, and a heavy 6-0 defeat at the hands of Chelsea.

Trends show Southampton have been struggling to keep clean sheets when playing at home and have conceded goals in 8 of their 11 most recent home Premier League matches. However, Southampton have found the back of the net in 14 of their last 15 home league games.

Crystal Palace make the trip to St Mary’s Stadium on the back of a 0-0 draw at home against Leeds United on Monday night.

That result means The Eagles have failed to win any of their 4 most recent games in all competition. There have been defeats at Leicester City and Newcastle United in the Premier League and a 2-0 loss to Chelsea in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley Stadium.

Away form in the Premier League shows Crystal Palace have lost their last 2 fixtures on the road, at Leicester City and Newcastle United. However, they are undefeated in 5 of their 7 most recent away league matches, including wins at Watford and Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Trends show Crystal Palace have won just 3 of their last 18 away matches in Premier League. The goals have dried up of late and Crystal Palace have failed to score a goal in each of their last 3 games in all competitions.

Team news and Southampton will be without Valentino Livramento, who is out for the season. There are doubts over the fitness of goalkeeper Alex McCarthy.

Crystal Palace travel with doubts over Tyrick Mitchell and Nathan Ferguson but they are the only two players who could be unavailable for the visitors.

This match has a draw written all over it. Both teams have been finding wins difficult to come by in recent weeks and we expect this one to end level, with both teams scoring.
