LiontipsSouthampton vs Lazio. Prediction (odds 2.90) and bets on a friendly match
Command Analysis
Southampton are back in the Premier League. They were out for just one season and now the Saints are back where they have been for the last ten years (except for the last season). They managed to return to the Premier League through the playoffs, as they finished fourth in the Championship. They have already played five games in the pre-season, winning four times and losing one.
Lazio is trying to find its game, and the club's management is trying to find a good coach. Let us recall that last season Maurizio Sarri was suspended due to unsuccessful performances. He was replaced by Igor Tudor, who was unable to gain the trust of the founders and his contract was not extended in the off-season. In the friendly games, Marco Baroni took the helm of the "sky-blues", who was tasked with fighting for awards in Serie A.

Both teams have shown excellent attacking play in the pre-season. Southampton have scored 13 goals in five friendly matches, while Lazio have scored 32 times in the same number of games (more than six on average per game). Such statistics suggest that both the hosts and the guests will be able to score.
Our prediction is both will score with odds of 1.60 in BC Melbet
Bet on the outcome
Lazio are the underdogs in this clash. We disagree with this assumption. The Italians have scored more than twice as many goals as the English in friendly matches and have not lost in pre-season matches, while Southampton suffered a fiasco against Oxford City, which is significantly lower in playing class than its upcoming opponent.
Our prediction is a Lazio victory with odds of 2.90 in BC Pari
Bet on corners
The opponents will not close themselves off in their penalty area, so it is logical to bet on the fact that in this match they will make quite a few corner passes between them.
Our forecast is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.74 in BC Winline
