Brentford take on the visitors Southampton in the round 22 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Brentford Community Stadium (London).
Brentford look solid at the moment. The Bees, after a very long break, were able to rise to the top flight of England in 2021. By and large, in the context of the Premier League, it was a debutant - and how great it turned out to show themselves at elite level. There were fears that Thomas Frank's men would be exposed to the classic "syndrome of the 2nd season", especially since Eriksen decided to move to the more status Manchester United in the summer. But no, quite the opposite has been happening so far. The team already has 7 wins and 30 points in 20 matches. Thus, there is every chance to compete for European competitions in the spring - will they try to do this, or will they just fool around in the spring, realizing that hitting points guarantees a comfortable ending of the season?

Southampton win mostly in cup matches this season. The Saints at the weekend, in the FA Cup, were able to pass another opponent. They with a score of 2-1, due to Perrault's double, coped with Blackpool on their field. In addition, the team played in the semi-finals of the League Cup - where they ended January with a trip to Newcastle in the second leg of the EFL Cup semi-final. Jones' side are likely physically and emotionally drained by the mid-week loss to Newcastle and Brentford are one of the last teams they would want to face in such a situation. At the same time, at the Premier League level, Nathan Jones' wards won only 1 match of their last 8, against a potential competitor, Everton. All other meetings in this segment, including Aston Villa on January 21st, ended in defeats - it is not surprising that it is Soton that is in the 20th, last position.
Last season, the clubs exchanged victories on their fields, and devastating ones. First Southampton won 4-1, then Brentford took revenge with a score of 3-0. We do not believe in the sudden transformation of the Saints and we dare to bet on the clear victory of Bees. The hosts will be fresh after a two-week break, and if they score the first goal, then, judging by their track record, a victory is sure to follow.
Prediction for the match: Brentford to win.
