Premier LeagueLiverpoolSouthampton

Liverpool meet Southampton in a match of the 13th round of the Premier League. Last weekend, the Merseysiders performed excellently and deservedly defeated Arsenal 4-0. At the beginning of the match Liverpool allowed their opponent to play more with the ball, but after a few rough entries, the atmosphere of "Anfield" changed and this gave impetus to the players of Jurgen Klopp. From the middle of the first half until the end of the match, Liverpool was definitely the better team and could even win with a more convincing result.

Southampton's four-match unbeaten streak ended away to Norwich. The "Canaries" defeated the "Saints" with 2: 1, recording only their second victory since the beginning of the season. It can be said that Southampton played a very weak match and deservedly left Carrow Road empty-handed. Ralph Hazenhuttle's players were not as creative in the lead as in previous weeks and did not put the hosts under pressure.

Liverpool is the top team in the Premier League and is the leader in expected goals. So far, the Merseysiders have performed more successfully in their away games, but after the victory over Arsenal in the last round, the situation may change. Anfield needed that momentum and a convincing victory against a team fighting for the top positions. It is very likely that Liverpool will again delight their fans on Saturday and win convincingly with two or more goals difference.

However, Southampton's performance against the top teams so far has been relatively successful and I will focus on betting on the number of goals in the match. The Saints drew a point from champions Manchester City, ending in a 0-0 draw at the Etihad. The same was the result in their home game of the fourth in the standings West Ham, and against Manchester United a 1: 1 draw was recorded. Ralph Hazenhuttle knows how to prepare his players well for matches against the best in the Premier League and with a little more luck, Southampton is able to make it difficult for the hosts. The Saints have conceded just three goals in their first 45 minutes in all 12 games so far, and if the trend continues on Saturday, the 3.5-goal line will be hard to skip.
