Brentford vs Southampton Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips 4/2/2023

[Premier League Prediction] Brentford vs Southampton Prediction: The Saints are attempting to win consecutive away league games for the first time since June 2020, while the Bees are attempting to win their third straight top-flight home match.

Brentford vs Southampton Prediction: An unpredictable game

On Saturday in the English Premier League, Brentford will play Southampton at the Gtech Community Stadium. Following a 0-0 league tie with Jesse Marsch's Leeds United, Brentford enters this contest. Brentford didn't manage to get a shot off. In contrast, Southampton was defeated 2-1 by Eddie Howe's Newcastle United in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. Newcastle United, who had Brazilian player Bruno Guimaraes sent off in the second half, won thanks to a brace from midfielder Sean Longstaff in the first half. Che Adams, an attacker for Southampton, scored the goal.

Brentford Form

Few would have imagined that Brentford would be sitting above teams like Liverpool and Chelsea in the Premier League standings after 20 games, but Thomas Frank's team earned their spot in the top eight and are still in the running to make it to Europe since they are only one point below the top six. Brentford will be eager to make the most of a favorable home matchup against a Southampton team that is still firmly entrenched at the bottom of the standings because challenging away journeys to Arsenal and Manchester United are scheduled for later this month.

Brentford Form

The Gtech Community Stadium has seen 19 of Brentford's 30 points this season, including triumphs over Manchester United and Liverpool as well as draws with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Brentford has had a lot of success at home thus far this season. The Bees defeated Southampton 3-0 at home in May of the previous year, and a victory this weekend would give them back-to-back league victories against the Saints for the first time since March 1959.

Southampton Form

After losing 3-1 overall to Newcastle United in the semi-finals, including a 2-1 second-leg loss at St James' Park on Tuesday, Southampton missed out on a spot in the EFL Cup final at Wembley. For the third time in the previous six years, the visitors lost at the semi-final stage of a domestic cup tournament after an early Sean Longstaff brace appeared to put the match to bed. However, a stunning goal from Che Adams restored hope for the Saints on the half-hour mark. With Southampton presently languishing two points adrift of safety after winning only four of their 20 games so far this season, Nathan Jones' team will now aim to pick themselves up and devote all of their attention to their fight to stay in the Premier League.

Southampton Form

The Saints have struggled mightily in the Premier League lately, dropping seven of their last eight games; their lone victory came against fellow underachievers Everton. Five new players were added to Southampton during the January transfer window, and Jones is hopeful they can have an immediate impact. The Saints face Brentford on Saturday, a team they have defeated twice in their last three league meetings, including a 4-1 home triumph last year.

Brentford vs Southampton Tips

Brentford to win

On Saturday, we're betting on the home team to win by a margin of one. In their last six meetings with the Saints, Brentford has prevailed three times, including a 3-0 triumph in this stadium back in May. The hosts have also triumphed in three of their past four Premier League matches, including two victories over Bournemouth and Liverpool at home. Southampton has dropped three of their previous five games overall, and they were recently eliminated from the League Cup.

Ivan Toney to Score

 Given that under 2.5 goals have been scored in two of the last four league encounters between Aston Villa and Leicester, we don't expect many goals to be scored in this match. Three of Aston Villa's past five games have seen fewer than three goals scored, and five of Leicester's last six games have had under 2.5 goals scored, further supporting our projection.
