Premier League: Tottenham vs. Southampton Picks — Saints to be Pushed Nearer Relegation (Apr 6)

Southampton’s one-season stay in the Premier League will come to an end this month, and their relegation could be confirmed as early as the middle of April.

Statistically, the Saints are one of the worst teams in competition history, and they come into this round sitting a staggering 20 points from safety.

Tottenham have also endured a difficult season in the Premier League this term. Spurs look on course to finish the campaign in the bottom half of the standings.

Odds

Spurs Unbeaten in Three Against Saints

Tottenham have a strong record against Southampton, having won two of the last three, and suffering just a single defeat in the last seven Premier League encounters.

Spurs won the reverse fixture this term by a 5-0 scoreline, and they have won six of their last seven home matches against the Saints.

Tottenham vs. Southampton Key Stats

• Southampton have lost six matches after opening the scoring this season; only two teams in EPL history have lost as many when scoring the first goal in a match.
• Tottenham came back from two goals down in their last home match; marking the 26th time that they have reversed a scoreline of that deficit in EPL history.

It is incredibly hard to foresee Southampton recording another victory in the Premier League this season.

Tottenham were at their dominant best in the previous meeting between the sides this term, and another dominant victory looks to be on the cards in North London on Sunday.
