Everton vs Southampton

Current streaks

Recent form

Everton

Everton's recent form has been a mixed bag, with the Toffees showing resilience in their last six matches. They've managed to secure two wins, two draws, and two losses, maintaining a perfectly balanced goal difference of zero. Their most recent outing saw them clinch an impressive 3-1 away victory against Fulham, breaking a two-match winless streak. Notably, Everton have been involved in some tight contests, with 67% of their last six games featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's defensive efforts have yielded one clean sheet, while they've found the back of the net in five out of six matches. Despite their mid-table position, Everton have shown they can compete with top sides, holding Arsenal to a draw and narrowly losing to Chelsea and Manchester City. Their ability to score consistently, averaging 1.17 goals per game, has been crucial in their fight to climb the table.

Southampton

Southampton's recent form paints a bleak picture for the struggling side, as they find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table with just 12 points from 36 games. The Saints are currently enduring a concerning 13-game winless streak, with their last six matches yielding no victories, two draws, and four defeats. Their attacking prowess has been particularly lacklustre, managing to score only three goals in these six games, averaging a meagre 0.5 goals per match. Defensively, Southampton have been porous, conceding 11 goals at an average of 1.83 per game. Their goal difference of -8 over this period highlights their struggles at both ends of the pitch. While there were no particularly high-scoring games in their recent outings, the 3-0 loss to Aston Villa and the 3-1 defeat against Tottenham Hotspur stand out as their heaviest losses. The Saints' sole clean sheet in their last six matches came in their most recent game, a goalless draw against title contenders Manchester City, which might offer a glimmer of hope amidst their dire situation.

Recent home/away form

Everton

Everton's recent home form presents a curious case of consistency, albeit not in the manner they might prefer. The Toffees have drawn five of their last six home matches, with their only defeat coming against title contenders Manchester City. This remarkable run of draws includes high-profile encounters against local rivals Liverpool and traditional powerhouses Manchester United and Arsenal. Interestingly, Everton have been involved in some entertaining contests, with four of these six games seeing both teams score and three matches ending in 2-2 stalemates. Despite their inability to secure victories, Everton have shown resilience, managing to avoid defeat in five out of six games. However, their defensive record is a concern, as they've failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, conceding an average of 1.67 goals per game.

Southampton

Southampton's away form has been particularly poor, with the Saints currently on a run of four consecutive away defeats in the Premier League. Their only victory in the last six away matches came against Ipswich Town, which appears to be a rare bright spot in an otherwise dismal season. The team have struggled defensively, conceding an alarming 14 goals in their last six away games, with a particularly heavy 4-0 defeat at Chelsea standing out. Southampton have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these matches, and their goal difference of -9 over this period highlights their difficulties at both ends of the pitch. Despite their struggles, the Saints have managed to score in 67% of these away games, though their average of just 0.83 goals per game away from home is a concern. With 67% of their away matches seeing over 2.5 goals, Southampton's games have at least provided entertainment, even if the results have not gone in their favour.
