Southampton take on the visitors Swansea in the round 5 match of English Premier League. The game will be played at St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday, September 18th.
The Saints are failing to take their first win of the season under new manager Claude Puel. The team took only two points in four matches after two home draws with Watford and Sunderland, both 1-1. Southampton had small chances to take points on the road as they traveled to Manchester Untied and Arsenal, 0-2, 1-2 respectively. At the same time, we should note that they are simply unlucky as the level of football shown was quite high. As to the home record of the team, the Saints are undefeated in their recent seven home matches in a row since the end of February.

Swansea City have no skilled footballers besides Sigurdsson and battle for points with tough football that gain them points so far. The most recent match was example of such football and they took points away from Chelsea, 2-2. Swansea have gained four points so far and sit on 13th position in the league. Wales’ side played two matches on the road this season, beating Burnley, 1-0, and losing to Leicester, 1-2.
The Saints lost only one of their last nine head-to-heads with Swansea, taking five wins and three draws on their matches. Moreover. Soton won both fixtures last season, 3-1, 1-0. Claude Puel’s men show attractive football and it’s time to take their first league win of the season in home clash with convenient opponents.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to win.
