Liverpool dropped two more points midweek in a goalless draw against Newcastle and now are level on points with Manchester United at the top of the table. They now travel to the St. Mary’s stadium on Monday night to face ninth place Southampton who have been out of form themselves with only one win in the last five games.
Our betting predictions for Southampton vs Liverpool Premier League match are:
Southampton vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Southampton have been unimpressive against Liverpool in the past few years having lost their last six games. They have also been out of form in the past few weeks having scored no goals in their last three games, while Liverpool have only conceded four goals in the their last eight games, hence betting on Alisson to keep a clean sheet at odds of 2.60 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
• Mohammed Salah’s best record is against Southampton in the premier league having scored seven goals and an assist in six games, averaging more than one goal per game. Hence betting on him to be on the scoresheet at odds of 1.73 (WilliamHill) is one of the safest bets of the match.
• Fabinho has been one of the best centre backs in the league and is the main reason behind Liverpool’s form in the absence of Virgil Van Djik. He averages a little more than two tackles per game and against an attacking Southampton side, betting on him to have over two tackles at odds of 2.00 (WilliamHill) is another good bet.
Quick Rich
• Liverpool will be desperate for a win as Manchester United and Manchester City have been in excellent form. Liverpool have performed well under pressure and we expect them to dominate this game and therefore betting on them to win both halves at enhanced odds of 4.50 is one of the most popular bets on WilliamHill.
• Liverpool have the highest goals in the league and are one of the most lethal attacking sides in Europe. They are second highest for corners earned in the league this season averaging 6.5 corners earned per game, hence betting on them to have over three corners in each half at odds of 6.00 (WilliamHill) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Liverpool should have too much quality for Southampton who have been poor in the past few weeks. With their third league match in ten days, both sides will be tired and Liverpool’s stronger bench will help them control the game, therefore we predict a Liverpool win at odds of 1.66 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Thiago Alcantara was one of the best players on the pitch midweek in Liverpool’s goalless draw against Newcastle and is expected to lead the midfield against Southampton too. Hence if he starts the match and starts creating world class chances, betting on him to be the man of the match at odds of 9.00 (WilliamHill) gives good returns at a small risk.
