As for their previous run of results, playing out three draws on the bounce, Southampton are in the midst of a five-match unbeaten run and are also unbeaten in their last three contests on the road. It is also worth noting that along with their last three straight contests ending with both teams finding the net, five of Southampton’s last six away fixtures have ended in an identical scoreline.
