Southampton vs Tottenham Preview & Tip

Category: Barclays Premier League Venue: St. Mary's Stadium Kick-off: 13:45 25/05/2015 CET After tough loss against Stoke City, where Saints had the lead in HT 0:1 they've lost the game by 2:1 and surley Ronald Koeman wasn't happy about it. Trough the season Saints showed some preety good games but there are much better teams so they could not reach top 4. Curently they are on 7th spot with 5 games left. Fight with Tottenham will be tough because they have 1 point more. They will try to reach UEFA Europa League so this season is not wasted. Their ratio is 17-5-11 with goal difference of 45:24. Statisticaly they are better than Chelsea with only 24 goals conceded, 10 at home. That is amazing stats and that defence led them to this place. But last few months their defence is a bit weak because in last 10 games they've conceded 6 goals, still impressive but for them not so good. They will have some big absences while entering this match. First, and the most important is, Fraser Forster(GK) so experienced Kelvin Davis will replace him. Other absences are: Emmanuel Mayuka, Filip Djuricic, Victor Wanyama and Toby Alderweireld is doubtful. On the other side we have Tottenham wich is preety much inconsistent in last few weeks. Last match they played against Newcastle Saints won by 1:3 and Kane scored again. Harry Kane is important for Spurs because he scored 20 goals for them. That incositance led Spurs to the place where they are now, on 6th spot fighting for Europa League. Fight between Saints and Liverpool will be amazing to watch till the end. Spurs form is like Saints form, last 5 their ratio is 2-1-2, only difference between them is in goal ratio. Spurs have scored 7, but they've conceded 8. We attribute that to absence of their GK Hugo Lloris, so reserve GK Vorm is trying to proove himself. Lloris is doubtful for this match. They score so much goals. They are team wich went 2.5 Over 25 times, most in Premier League. When we look at the overall away stats of Spurs they are 4th with ratio of 8-3-5 wich is preety good. Tottenham scored at least one goal in 81% of their away games. Entering after a win of 1:3 surley will help Spurs in fight for Europa League. Tough match to bet on, both of these teams are motivated and they shoved some good games this season. Last time they played Spurs won 1:0 and Southampton will try to revenge here, but Spurs are likely to score. Bet: 2.5 Goal margin Over @2.00
