Southampton vs Stoke City Prediction and Betting Tips (29.10.2024)

Command Analysis

Southampton

England

Current form

Southampton have returned to the Premier League, but are performing very poorly and are currently one of the main contenders for relegation. After nine rounds, the Saints have only one point and are at the bottom of the standings. After a draw with Ipswich, four defeats in a row were recorded. In the last round, they managed to put up a decent fight against Manchester City, but this did not bring them any points (0:1). In the League Cup at the previous stage, Southampton met Everton and won in a penalty shootout. Regular time in that meeting ended in a 1:1 draw.

Disqualifications and injuries

Due to injuries, Bazunu and Smallbone will not play today. Downes' appearance on the field is in doubt.

Interesting trends for betting

Southampton losing streak is now four games
Four of the Saints' previous five matches have featured an exchange of goals

Provisional Squad : McCarthy; Bree, Wood, Harwood-Bellis, Taylor; Ugochukwu, Aribo; Cornet, Lallana, Fraser; Armstrong.

Stoke City

England

Current form

Stoke City are not pleasing their fans in the Championship. After 12 rounds played, the team has 12 points and is only in 19th place. There is no talk of fighting for promotion, rather, they need to think about maintaining their place in the league, because the gap from the relegation zone is only one point. The Potters have not won in four rounds in a row - three draws and a 0:2 defeat to Sheffield United in the last meeting. Stoke City have not yet had any formidable opponents in the League Cup, so reaching the 1/8 finals is not a big surprise. At the previous stage, they managed to break the resistance of Fleetwood in a penalty shootout. It should be noted that during the season, the club has already changed coaches. The team is currently led by Narcis Pelach.

Disqualifications and injuries

Stoke City have no serious problems with their squad.

Interesting trends for betting

Three of Stoke City last five matches have seen more than one goal scored in the first half
The teams have exchanged goals in three of their previous five matches.

Estimated cast : Johansson; Tchamadeu, Gibson, Phillips, Rose, Bokat; Manhoef, Burger, Thompson, Koumas; Cannon.

Tip and bets

1.76Southampton with a handicap (-1)

Southampton are not doing well in the Premier League, but have shown some progress in recent rounds. They managed to withstand the pressure of Manchester City, consistently scoring goals, including opening up Arsenal defence, although they lost. Stoke City recently changed their coach, but there is no progress in the team play, even at the Championship level the Potters are not impressive and are close to ending up in the relegation zone. We think the hosts will secure a fairly confident victory today.

Our prediction is a Southampton win with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.76

1.55Southampton goals IT over 1.5

Bet on total

Southampton have shown some decent progress in attack compared to the start of the season. In their last five Premier League games, the Saints have failed to crack only Manchester City defence. We believe that they are capable of scoring at least two goals against a less than strong opponent on their home field today.

The second bet is Southampton individual total goals over 1.5 with odds of 1.55

Bet on the first half

It should be noted that Southampton have been doing well in the opening stages at home. In their two previous home games, the Saints won in the first half, which is what we expect from them in the cup game today.

Prediction: Southampton win in the first half with odds of 1.92
