Team analysis: Southampton
Currently, Southampton finds itself in 20th place with a total of 9 points, having recorded 2 wins, 3 draws, and 24 losses. Their most recent outing saw them lose 1-2 to Wolverhampton Wanderers at home, following another defeat to Liverpool by 3-1 in the previous match. This team has struggled significantly away from home. In their last 30 matches, they’ve only managed 1 win, accumulating 3 draws and 11 losses while scoring 12 goals and conceding 31. At home, their record is slightly better, with 3 wins against 12 losses, but they remain fragile defensively, conceding at least one goal in each of their last 10 games. Across these matches, they’ve found the net in 7 of the last 10 but have experienced 9 consecutive home losses in this competition. In their last 14 home games, they scored 4 of their 10 goals within the first 15 minutes of matches.
Southampton’s last match ended in a 1-2 defeat against Wolverhampton Wanderers, marking their fifth successive loss in the Premier League. Paul Onuachu netted the team’s only goal during this match. Dominantly, the team utilises a 3-4-3 tactical formation, deploying Kamaldeen Sulemana, Paul Onuachu, and Tyler Dibling in attack. Notably, their playmaker is midfielder Mateus Fernandes, who proves crucial in orchestrating attacking plays. The team will miss the services of Ryan Fraser, Ross Stewart, Juan Larios, James Bree, and Will Smallbone due to injuries.
Team analysis: Crystal Palace
The visitors currently occupy 12th position with 39 points, having tallied 10 wins, 9 draws, and 9 losses. In their penultimate match, they secured a home victory over Aston Villa (4-1) and defeated Ipswich Town (1-0) in their most recent match. This team has surprisingly performed better away than at home, with a record of 10 wins, 3 draws, and 2 losses in their last 30 away games, compared to 6 wins, 4 draws, and 5 losses at home. Their last encounter, played in the FA Cup, saw them triumph over Fulham (0-3). Crystal Palace’s last 10 away matches in the league resulted in 6 wins, 3 draws, and just 1 loss, earning 21 points from a possible 30.
For the current Premier League campaign, they have achieved a remarkable run of 4 consecutive away wins, remaining unbeaten in their last 9 matches on the road. Typically, the most common scoreline at half-time has been 0-0 (7 in 13 games). Their attack has been consistent, scoring at least once in each of their last 10 league games. Remarkably, in 8 of their last 13 away matches, they have recorded fewer than 2.5 goals. From 28 matches in this competition, they have only managed to overturn their fortunes in the 13 games where they conceded the opening goal.
With impressive momentum, Crystal Palace enters this fixture following a commanding 0-3 victory at Fulham Stadium in the FA Cup. In the most recent Premier League round, they edged out Ipswich Town 1-0. Crystal Palace typically employs a 3-4-3 formation, with Eberechi Eze, Romain Mundle, and Jean-Philippe Mateta being the primary offensive players. Jefferson Lerma plays a critical role in midfield, facilitating the creation of goal-scoring opportunities. However, they will be without the suspended Will Hughes, as well as Joel Ward, Cheick Doucouré, and Chadi Riad, all of whom are dealing with injuries.
