Crystal Palace vs Southampton

Current streaks

Recent form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Eagles showing both resilience and vulnerability. In their last six matches, Palace have managed two wins, two draws, and two losses, demonstrating inconsistency. They've been involved in some high-scoring affairs, notably the 5-1 defeat to Arsenal in the Premier League and the thrilling 3-2 loss to the same opponents in the League Cup. Palace have shown an ability to compete with top teams, holding Manchester City to a 2-2 draw, and impressively defeating Brighton 3-1 away from home. Their defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 11 goals in six games, but they've also managed two clean sheets. The Eagles have been involved in several exciting matches, with 67% of their recent games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals, suggesting they're providing entertainment for neutrals despite their modest 16th position in the league table.

Southampton

Southampton's recent form has been abysmal, with the Saints enduring a dreadful run of five defeats in their last six matches. They are currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table, having amassed a mere six points from 17 games. The team's defensive frailties are glaringly evident, conceding a whopping 14 goals in their last six outings, including two five-goal drubbings at the hands of Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur. Southampton's attacking prowess has been equally disappointing, managing to score only twice during this period. Their inability to find the back of the net is further highlighted by a nine-game winless streak, which has severely dented their survival hopes. The Saints have kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches, emphasising their struggles at both ends of the pitch. With half of their recent games featuring over 2.5 goals, Southampton's matches have been eventful, albeit for the wrong reasons from their perspective.

Recent home/away form

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the Eagles struggling to find consistent success at Selhurst Park. In their last six home matches, Palace have managed just one win, two draws, and three losses, highlighting their difficulties on home turf. The standout result was a narrow 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, which provided a rare clean sheet for the team. However, their most recent home fixture saw a heavy 5-1 defeat to Arsenal, marking their highest-scoring game in this period and emphasising their defensive vulnerabilities. Palace have found goals hard to come by, averaging less than one per game, while conceding at a rate of nearly two goals per match. Interestingly, despite their struggles, half of their home games have seen both teams score, suggesting that Palace are often involved in competitive encounters even when they don't secure positive results.

Southampton

Southampton's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Saints failing to secure a single victory in their last six matches on the road. The team have endured a challenging run, suffering four defeats and managing only two draws. Their goal-scoring prowess has been notably lacking, netting just twice in these six games, averaging a meagre 0.33 goals per match. Defensively, Southampton have struggled as well, conceding eight goals, though they did manage one clean sheet in their most recent away fixture against Fulham. The team's difficulties are further highlighted by a three-match losing streak in the middle of this run. Interestingly, five out of the six games have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a trend towards low-scoring affairs in Southampton's away matches. This poor form has contributed significantly to their current position at the bottom of the Premier League table.
