Southampton vs Crystal Palace - 11/05/2021
4503
There are several fixtures to look forward to in the English Premier League throughout the week beginning with the meeting of Southampton and Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.
The hosts begin the week in 16th place on 37 points while the visitors are in 13th place on 41 points, so there is all to play for in terms of League position.
Southampton come into the game having lost 2-0 at Liverpool on Saturday night. The Saints can be happy with their performance and could easily have scored a couple of the goals themselves having given the Liverpool defence plenty to think about throughout the 90 minutes.
However, the end result was another defeat and Southampton have lost 4 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
Southampton have picked up just a single victory from their 7 most recent Premier League matches and only two wins from their last 17 Premier League fixtures, which is a hugely disappointing return.
Home form shows Southampton have managed to win only one of their last 7 Premier League games at St. Mary's Stadium.
Trends show Southampton have found the back of the net in each of their last 5 Premier League matches on home soil but conceding goals has become a problem.
The Saints have conceded goals in each of their last 7 home league games, including 2 or more goals in 4 of those 7 fixtures.
Crystal Palace come into the match having recorded a 2-0 win at bottom club Sheffield United on the weekend. It was an important return to winning ways for The Eagles who were on a run of 4 Premier League games without a victory.
Crystal Palace had lost each of their previous 3 league fixtures ahead of the trip to Sheffield United, with defeats coming at home against Chelsea and Manchester City plus away at Leicester City, all of which were tough games.
Away form in the Premier League shows Crystal Palace have won 3 of their last 11 matches. They have been scoring goals on the road and have found the back of the net in each of their last 5 away League fixtures.
However, Crystal Palace have kept just one clean sheet in their 8 most recent away Premier League games.
Team news and Southampton will continue without Takumi Minamino, Ryan Bertrand, Danny Ings, Oriol Romeu, and William Smallbone. Michael Obafemi could start having featured off the bench on the weekend.
Crystal Palace have injury problems of their own with Connor Wickham, James McArthur, Mamadou Sakho, and Nathan Ferguson on the treatment table. James Tomkins is a doubt due to an eye injury.
