Competition: Premier League

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

In a Premier League showdown that could see chances come at both ends of the pitch, Southampton will host Brentford on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, making an immediate return to losing ways last weekend, Southampton will be seeking a quick response here. In their opening six Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins, one draw and three defeats, scoring seven and conceding 10 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of seven from a possible 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 12th in the standings and one-point adrift of breaking into the top-half. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a sluggish 1-0 loss away at Wolves, Southampton have lost two of their last three Premier League contests. However, it should be noted, continuing on from last season, Saturday’s hosts have seen four of their previous five top-flight matchups finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, putting in what was an action-packed display last weekend, Brentford are enjoying an eye-catching start to the 2022/23 campaign. In their opening six Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins, three draws and just a single defeat, scoring 15 and conceding nine in return. Managing to muster a points tally of nine from a possible 18, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat eighth in the table and just a single point adrift of breaking into the top-six. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 5-2 victory against Leeds on home soil, Brentford are unbeaten in each of their last four matchups across all formats. However, it should be noted, with four of their previous five contests finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
