Southampton are having a shocking season so far. After 9 rounds of the Premier League, Ralph Hasenhüttl's charges have recorded only one victory against Leeds (1:0) and five matches ended in a draw.

Our prediction - total under 2.5 goals
The two teams desperately need points, and we believe that a draw would satisfy both sides. Moreover, 2 out of 4 previous head-to-head games were tied.
