Southampton vs Fulham Prediction

Southampton Form

Southampton have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 0-1 by Bournemouth, before Newcastle ran out 3-1 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Nottingham Forest, who came out 4-3 winners. Southampton just have a single home win to show from their efforts in the past six Premier League matches at the St. Mary's Stadium. They also drew one and lost four of these six encounters, in which they scored five and conceded 12 goals.

Southampton are closer to the relegation zone than they would have wished for at this late stage of the season. They are still capable of pulling clear though and securing another season in the top flight.

Going forward, Southampton and Fulham are both in decent form, while at the same time being generous in defence. We are confident, both teams will find the back of the net on Saturday.
