LiontipsTottenham vs Southampton. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (February 9, 2022).
Command Analysis
Tottenham have endured a difficult season. The team failed to qualify for the Conference League playoffs due to an outbreak of COVID-19: they didn't have enough players for the game against Rennes and had to forfeit.
In the League Cup, the Spurs reached the semi-finals, where they lost to Chelsea (0:3 on aggregate). The Lilywhites retain a chance to win a trophy this season as they hope to go all the way in the FA Cup.
The hosts have played 20 matches in the Premier League, which is less than any other team in the top-7. In January, Antonio Conte's men beat Watford (1:0) and Leicester (3:2) before suffering a defeat to Chelsea (0:2).
Skipp, Tanganga, and Dier are all out injured and won't be able to help their team today.
Southampton had a few bad years and haven't achieved much since reaching the final of the League Cup four years ago. The Saints have already been knocked out of the 2021-2022 FA Cup: in the Round of 16, they lost to Coventry City in extra time (2:1).
Ralph Hasenhuttl's side sit middle of the table in the Premier League. After 22 matches, Soton are 12th in the log with 25 points from five victories and 10 draws. In 2022, the Saints beat Brentford (4:1), lost to Wolverhampton (1:3) and shared points with Manchester City (1:1) in the last round.
McCarthy, Vojnovic, Tella will miss the game against the Spurs. Smallbone and Broja are doubts.
