Recent form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in impressive form recently, showcasing their resilience and attacking prowess. The Reds are currently enjoying a six-match unbeaten run, with four wins and two draws in their last six outings. Their defensive solidity is evident, having kept three clean sheets and conceding only 0.83 goals per game during this period. Liverpool's attack has been equally potent, netting 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per match. Notably, they've managed to secure victories against tough opponents, including a 2-0 away win against Manchester City and a 1-0 triumph over Paris Saint Germain in the Champions League. The team's consistency is reflected in their league position, sitting atop the table with 67 points from 28 games. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen both teams score, with an even split between games featuring under and over 2.5 goals, indicating a balanced and unpredictable style of play.

Southampton

Southampton are enduring a torrid run of form, finding themselves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with just 9 points from 27 games. The Saints have lost five of their last six matches, including a current four-game losing streak across all competitions. Their defensive woes are particularly alarming, having conceded a staggering 16 goals in their last six outings whilst keeping no clean sheets in their past eight games. The team's goal-scoring troubles are equally concerning, with Southampton netting just four times in their previous six matches. Two recent heavy defeats stand out: a 4-0 drubbing away to Chelsea and a 4-0 home thrashing by Brighton, both highlighting the team's vulnerability at both ends of the pitch. With over 2.5 goals occurring in 83% of their recent matches, Southampton's games are proving to be high-scoring affairs, albeit largely to their detriment.

Recent home/away form

Liverpool

Liverpool have been in scintillating form at Anfield, boasting an impressive six-match winning streak across all competitions. The Reds have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 18 times in these fixtures whilst maintaining a solid defensive record, conceding only three goals. Notably, their attacking prowess has been on full display with three high-scoring encounters, including a 4-0 thrashing of Tottenham Hotspur in the League Cup, a 4-1 victory over Ipswich Town in the Premier League, and a 4-0 drubbing of Accrington ST in the FA Cup. Liverpool's home form has significantly contributed to their current standing atop the Premier League table, with 67 points from 28 games. The team's ability to consistently score, averaging 3 goals per game, coupled with their defensive solidity, highlighted by three clean sheets in six matches, underscores their dominance at Anfield.

Southampton

Southampton's away form has been particularly poor, with the Saints struggling to find consistency on the road. They have lost four of their last six away matches, including a heavy 4-0 defeat to Chelsea in their most recent outing. This thrashing at Stamford Bridge stands out as a particularly high-scoring game and represents Southampton's worst away result in this sequence. The Saints have managed just one win and one draw in their last six away fixtures, highlighting their difficulties in securing points away from home. Their defensive frailties are evident, conceding an average of 2.17 goals per game, while their attacking output remains limited at just one goal per game. Despite the high percentage of matches seeing both teams score (67%), Southampton have struggled to outscore their opponents, resulting in a negative goal difference of -7 across these six away games. The frequency of high-scoring matches is notable, with 83% of their away games featuring over 2.5 goals, suggesting that Southampton's away fixtures are often entertaining, albeit not always in their favour.
