Southampton vs Liverpool Betting Tips & Pundits Predictions

Southampton betting tips

Southampton host Liverpool in the final match of the Premier League weekend which also brings to an end a busy Christmas and New Year period for the top flight, but what are the football pundits predicting will happen in tonight’s game?

The Saints can go sixth with a win tonight or Liverpool will go back to leading the table by three points ahead of Manchester United.

This will be a difficult game for Jurgen Klopp’s side who have only managed draws in their last two fixtures (Newcastle and West Brom) but Southampton are in similar form, drawing three and losing one in their last four.

 

Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction from Thatsagoal

As part of this weekend’s Premier League betting tips, our own tipster Fabio took a look at the Southampton vs Liverpool game tonight.

“Aston Villa, Everton, Manchester City, Brighton, Fulham, West Brom, Newcastle. That is the full list of sides who have taken points off the Premier League champions already this season. A regression from their impressive high is to be expected and fixture congestion is obviously taking a toll.

One player who won’t be suffering from congestion is the fit-again Danny Ings. Southampton have endured a bit of a slump with just one goal in four but the return of their talisman should provide a confidence boost. A goal for Ings against his former club is well-priced at 15/8.”

Danny Ings Anytime Scorer – 15/8 with Bet Victor.

Lawro’s Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction

Every week you can read Lawro’s predictions on his BBC Sport column, where he goes up against a celebrity in predicting the results of the 10 Premier League fixtures.
“I always feel like Southampton are better on the road, but their home form is decent too – the fifth-best in the Premier League in fact.

Liverpool have not been great away this season but I just have a feeling they will get back to winning ways on the south coast.”

Lawro’s prediction: 1-2 – 8/1 with bet365.

 

Michael Owen’s Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction

Former Liverpool and Real Madrid striker Michael Owen game his prediction in his Bet Victor blog.

“Liverpool arrive here after dropping 4 points in their last 2 matches. They come up against a Southampton side that have also drawn successive matches, both ending 0-0.

It was great to see Thiago returning from injury against Newcastle. I think he’s a wonderful player and will just get better and better.

With that in mind, I think Liverpool will have enough here. Southampton simply aren’t scoring enough goals at the moment and I could see the Reds winning this one comfortably.”

Liverpool win 3-1 – 12/1 with Bet Victor.
