The Matchday 31 clash in the Premier League between Tottenham and Southampton will take place on April 6 at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London. Tottenham vs. Southampton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's side played their last two matches away against local rivals and lost both. They first fell to Fulham (0-2) and then to Chelsea (0-1). Prior to these, the Londoners played two home games, also without a win: a defeat to Manchester City (0-1) and a draw with Bournemouth (2-2). The club is in a low 14th place, but they have a comfortable 14-point cushion from the relegation zone and boast the third-best attack in the league after Liverpool (55 goals scored).
- The club has not won in 11 of their last 14 Premier League matches (2 draws and 9 losses).
- No more than three goals have been scored in 6 of Tottenham's last 8 Premier League games.
- The team has conceded first in their last four league matches.
Predicted lineup for Tottenham (4-3-3)
Guglielmo Vicario – Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, Destiny Udogie, Djed Spence – Rodrigo Bentancur, James Maddison, Lucas Bergwijn – Son Heung-min, Wilson Odobert, Dominic Solanke.
Southampton
The team nearly defeated Crystal Palace at home in the last round, conceding an equalizer after the 90th minute (1-1). Ivan Juric's side dropped two points and extended their winless streak in the league to six matches. Before the draw, the Londoners lost five consecutive matches with a total score of 3-16. If Southampton loses the next two matches, they will be guaranteed relegation to the Championship.
- Both teams have scored in 8 of the club's last 10 Premier League games.
- At least three goals have been scored in 11 of Southampton's last 12 league matches.
- In their last 22 away Premier League games, the club has won only once (4 draws and 17 losses).
Predicted lineup for Southampton (3-4-2-1)
Aaron Ramsdale – Jack Stephens, Jan Bednarek, Taylor Harwood-Bellis – Kyle Walker-Peters, Flynn Downes, Lesley Ugochukwu, Ryan Manning – Kamaldeen Sulemana, Mateusz Fernandes – Paul Onuachu.

Tottenham vs. Southampton: Match Prediction
One of the best attacks in the league will host the worst defense in the Premier League. At the same time, the Londoners have not been impressive defensively, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per match this season. At home, Tottenham has conceded in 13 of their last 14 Premier League matches, while they have scored in 12 of their last 13 home league games.
Southampton is already on the brink of relegation to the Championship. It's unlikely they will catch up to Wolverhampton, but the team needs to collect a few more points to avoid Derby County's record for the fewest points in a Premier League season (11 points in the 2007/08 season). Ivan Juric's side is expected to concede, having kept a clean sheet only once in their last year of away Premier League matches. However, they have also scored in 5 of their last 6 away league games. Therefore, this game is likely to see both teams scoring, which has been the case in 6 of their last 7 head-to-head league encounters.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
