Tottenham Hotspur vs Southampton

Current streaks

Recent form

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent form has been concerning, with the team currently languishing in 14th position in the Premier League. The Spurs are enduring a difficult run, having lost their last three league matches, which is part of a broader streak of four defeats in their last six games across all competitions. Their only victory during this period came in the Europa League against AZ Alkmaar, where they managed to score three goals – their highest tally in recent matches. Defensively, Tottenham have been struggling, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last seven outings. The team's goal-scoring form has also dipped, averaging less than a goal per game in their last six matches, while conceding at a rate of 1.33 goals per game. With two-thirds of their recent matches featuring fewer than 2.5 goals, Tottenham's games have generally been low-scoring affairs, reflecting their current offensive and defensive challenges.

Southampton

Southampton's recent form has been dismal, with the Saints currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table. The team are in the midst of a dire run, having lost five consecutive matches before managing a draw against Crystal Palace in their most recent outing. This winless streak extends to seven games, highlighting their struggles to secure victories. Southampton's defensive woes are particularly alarming, as they have conceded a staggering 17 goals in their last six matches, averaging 2.83 goals conceded per game. Their inability to keep clean sheets is evident, with 11 games passing since their last defensive shutout. High-scoring affairs have been a feature of Southampton's recent matches, with 83% of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals. Notably, they suffered heavy defeats against Brighton (0-4) and Chelsea (0-4), further emphasising their defensive fragility. With only 0.67 goals scored per game in this period, Southampton are facing an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

Recent home/away form

Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's recent home form has been mixed, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Spurs have shown a tendency for high-scoring affairs, with 67% of these games featuring over 2.5 goals, including a 3-1 victory against AZ Alkmaar in the Europa League and a 3-0 win over IF Elfsborg. Defensively, Tottenham have been relatively solid, keeping two clean sheets and conceding an average of just one goal per game. However, their inconsistency is evident, as they've failed to string together more than two consecutive wins at home during this period. Despite their current 14th position in the league, Spurs have managed to score in five out of their last six home matches, demonstrating their attacking prowess with an average of 1.67 goals per game.

Southampton

Southampton's away form has been particularly poor, with the Saints currently enduring a challenging run of four consecutive defeats on the road. Their sole away victory in this period came against Ipswich Town, providing a brief respite in an otherwise dismal sequence. Defensively, Southampton have been extremely vulnerable, conceding a staggering 16 goals in their last six away matches, averaging 2.67 goals conceded per game. This defensive frailty is further highlighted by their failure to keep a single clean sheet during this stretch. Notably, all of Southampton's recent away fixtures have been high-scoring affairs, with every match featuring over 2.5 goals. The 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Chelsea stands out as a particularly heavy defeat, emphasising the team's struggles away from home. With both teams scoring in 83% of these matches and Southampton finding the net at least once in five out of six games, their matches have been entertaining for neutrals, if not for Saints supporters.
