Southampton VS Burnley Match Prediction

Southampton and Burnley are not just well matched this season but also historically with Burnley just holding the lead with 23 victories to Southampton’s 21. Unsurprisingly there was only one goal between the sides in their meeting earlier in the season when a fifth minute strike from Danny Ings against one of his old clubs was the difference. That was the first time that the Saints had beaten Burnley since 2015, with Burnley winning four and drawing three of the games in the interim.

Southampton vs Burnley Prediction

Both teams will be keen to pick up two more wins in the quickest time possible so they can begin planning for another season in the top flight. As such, they may see this as a prime opportunity to beat another out of form side in the lower-half of the division. We are backing Southampton to edge this in a close affair.

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Burnley Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Burnley have struggled away from home this season, finding the net only 10 times across 14 games. However, Southampton have by no means been free scoring themselves at St Mary’s where they have scored only 18 goals in 14 games. Ultimately it will come down to whether the home side’s leaky defence allows Burnley to find their shooting boots, or if Southampton can prize open Burnley’s mean defence to register goals.

Both Southampton and Burnley have 33 points from 29 games and a goal difference of -15
