LiontipsSouthampton vs Crystal Palace. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (May 11, 2021).
Command Analysis
Southampton are on a bad run in the Premier League. In the previous round, Ralph Hasenhüttl's team paid a visit to Liverpool, which ended in a 0:2 defeat from the Reds. This was already the third defeat of the Saints in the past four games: Soton also lost to West Bromwich (0:3), Tottenham (1:2), and also drew Leicester (1:1). In general, the second half of the season has been an absolute nightmare for the Saints, they've lost 13 out of the 17 games since the winter break.
Despite such terrible performance, which resulted from too many injuries in the squad, Southampton had enough points earned to stay away from the relegation zone. At the moment the team is 16th in the standings, ahead of the outsiders' group by 10 points.
Since most of their points they earned at St.Mary's, we can call Soton a home team. 21 points out of 37 were gained in home games. In total Southampton lost seven home games, won six, and drew three.
The participation of striker Danny Ings and midfielder Oriol Romeu in today's game is doubtful. Defender Ryan Bertrand and midfielder Will Smallbone are both injured and will not appear on the pitch.
For a while now the Glaziers have just been going with the flow. The team does not set serious goals for themselves but at least successfully keeps a residence in the Premier League. Before the upcoming fixture, Crystal Palace are thirteenth in the standings. The London club has 41 points, which gives them a 14 points margin over the relegation zone.
In the final round, Roy Hodgson's men played away against Sheffield United and defeated the outsider 2-0. Thus, Crystal Palace interrupted their winless series of four games in a row. On that streak, Crystal Palace drew Everton (1:1), lost to Chelsea (1:4), Leicester (1:2), and Manchester City (0:2).
The Glaziers also had a surprising away win over Manchester United, but after that, they only beat the teams from the bottom half of the table: Fulham, Brighton, West Bromwich, Newcastle, and Sheffield United.
Midfielders Nathan Ferguson and James MacCarthy, defender Mamadou Sakho and striker Connor Wickham are sidelined with different injuries. James Tomkins also might not be able to play.
