Southampton take on the visitors Arsenal at “St Mary's Stadium” in the postponed game of the round 26 of the Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 10th.
Southampton completely relaxed at the end of the season. The side occupies the 10th place in the standings with 42 points earned, 39-44 goal difference and four gameweeks left till the end of the season. While the rest of the teams are fighting for the Eurocups zone or following up the relegation battle, “The Saints” play on loose without any tournament targets left. The team managed to score only once in four recent encounters in the Premier League in general. Moreover, Southampton scored one goal in last four home clashes and two goals in five matches against first seven sides in the table.

Unlike their upcoming rival, Arsenal are fighting in the Premier League. The side occupies the sixth place in the standings with 63points taken and 66-42 goal difference still keeping chances to promote to the UEFA Champions League next season. Last round “The Gunners” broke Manchester United with 2:0 scoreline in front of their fans and that triumph should inspire them at the end of the season. Arsene Wenger’s team recorded three clean-sheets in six recent clashes.
Southampton have not been defeated by Arsenal at “St Mary's Stadium” since 2003. Southampton scored on average 2.19 goals per match at the home ground. Arsenal played with under scored goals in recent fights as well. Taking into account all the mentioned above plus team’s statistics in their head-to heads with four goals scored only in two out of eight recent clashes, I believe that the rivals will not combine a number of goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
