Liverpool 8/15 to beat Southampton in Tuesday’s Premier League battle

Competition: Premier League

Market: Liverpool win

Odds: 8/15 @ 888sport

Knowing that they face another must-win showdown on Tuesday night, Liverpool will make the trip to a struggling Southampton in midweek.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another hugely worrying display, Southampton are enduring a real struggle over recent months. In their 36 Premier League matchups this season, they have recorded nine wins, 13 draws and 14 defeats, scoring 41 and conceding 61 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 40, they find themselves sat down in 15th and with it already confirmed that they will settle for another bottom-half finish. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-0 defeat away at Brentford, Southampton have collected just a single point from their last four Premier League contests. Likewise, it should also be noted, along with shipping over 1.5 goals in those four straight outings, Tuesday’s hosts have lost five of their previous six top-flight home fixtures.

As for the visitors, watching Manchester City drop two costly points over the weekend, Liverpool will know that they face another must-win showdown here. In their 36 Premier League matchups this season, they have recorded 26 wins, eight draws and just a pair of defeats, scoring 89 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 86, the Reds open the midweek fixtures sat second in the standings and four points adrift of their title contenders. As for their recent run of results, last seen claiming this year’s FA Cup crown thanks to a penalties victory against Chelsea at Wembley, Liverpool are unbeaten in each of their last 16 matchups across all formats. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing an away victory on Tuesday night.
