Southampton 0-5 Brentford

Current streaks

Recent form

Southampton

Southampton's recent form paints a bleak picture, with the Saints currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table. The team are enduring a dire run of five defeats in their last six matches, including a particularly heavy 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur. Southampton's goal-scoring woes are evident, having found the net just twice in their last six outings, whilst conceding 11 goals in the same period. Their defensive frailties are underscored by a solitary clean sheet in this run. The Saints have failed to secure a victory in their last 10 games across all competitions, a streak that will be causing significant concern for the club's faithful. With an average of just 0.33 goals scored per game and 1.83 conceded, Southampton are struggling at both ends of the pitch, reflected in their worrying goal difference of -9 over the last six matches.

Brentford

Brentford's recent form has been concerning, with the Bees struggling to find consistency in their Premier League campaign. The team have managed just one win in their last six matches, suffering four defeats and securing a single draw. Their sole victory came in a high-scoring affair against Newcastle United, where they impressed with a 4-2 win. However, this positive result has been overshadowed by a worrying run of three consecutive league losses, conceding at least two goals in each of these defeats. Brentford's defensive frailties are evident, having kept only one clean sheet in their last six games and conceding an average of two goals per match. Despite their mid-table position, the Bees' negative goal difference and the fact that both teams have scored in 67% of their recent matches suggest they are involved in entertaining, albeit defensively vulnerable, encounters.

Recent home/away form

Southampton

Southampton's recent home form has been abysmal, with the Saints currently on a five-match losing streak at St Mary's. Their last victory came against Everton on 2nd November, followed by a string of defeats against top-tier opposition. The team's defensive frailties have been particularly evident, conceding a whopping 16 goals in their last six home games, including two high-scoring matches where they shipped five goals each to Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea. Southampton have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just five goals in this period, with three of those coming in losing efforts. Their inability to keep clean sheets, managing only one in six games, has contributed to their poor run, which has seen them slump to 20th position in the Premier League table.

Brentford

Brentford's recent away form has been notably poor, with the Bees failing to secure a victory in their last six matches on the road. They have endured a concerning run of three consecutive defeats against Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Aston Villa, conceding multiple goals in each of these fixtures. Whilst they have managed to keep two clean sheets in their last six away games, both resulting in goalless draws against Brighton and Everton, their attacking prowess has been lacking, scoring only four goals across these six matches. The 3-1 defeats to Newcastle and Aston Villa stand out as particularly high-scoring affairs, contributing to Brentford's worrying goal difference of -6 during this period. With 67% of their away games seeing both teams score and over 2.5 goals, Brentford's matches have tended to be entertaining for neutral spectators, if not for their own supporters.
