Southampton vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-11-01 15:00.
[p]It has not been the return to the Premier League that Southampton would have hoped for, as they enter matchday ten with just a single point. The current basement boys could climb off the foot of the table if things go their way this weekend however by beating Everton, a side they got the better of via penalties at Goodison Park in September Carabao Cup action. [/p]
[p]That victory means that Saints have now only lost one of the last four H2Hs (W3), yet that cup success did mean that they’ve had less time to prepare for this contest, having played in the competition during midweek against Stoke City, sealing progression to the quarter-finals (3-2). That would have hardly built confidence though, as they bid here to snap a winless Premier League run which currently stands at 22 matches – a sequence eclipsed by just two teams in the competition’s history. [/p]
[p]At the time, Everton’s Carabao Cup loss to Southampton made it five defeats from their opening six competitive games (W1). However, they’ve shaken off that early-season wobble and have not lost a fixture since (W2, D3). They left it very late against Fulham on Saturday, with a stoppage time equaliser preserving that unbeaten run (1-1), and another positive result here would hand Everton their longest unbeaten league streak since Sean Dyche took charge in January 2023. [/p]
[p]The Toffees should head to St Mary’s with confidence, not least because they finally ended their long wait for an away win by beating Ipswich Town on their last road trip (2-0). That extended their record to no defeat in six against newly promoted sides (W4, D2), while you’d have to go back to November 2022 for the last time that they lost such a game on their travels (Bournemouth, 3-0). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Southampton midfielder Flynn Downes has been catching the referee’s attention lately, picking up three yellows in his past five league matches. Beto scored his seventh Everton goal at the weekend, six of which arrived after the 70th minute. [/p]
[p]Hot streak: Everton have scored all five of their Premier League away goals this season before half-time. [/p]
