Liverpool hosts Southampton in round 13 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, November 27th at Anfield (Liverpool)
On November 24, Liverpool played in the fifth round of the Champions League group stage. At home, the Reds managed to beat Porto with a score of 2-0. In the last match in the Premier League, Liverpool hammered Arsenal with a score of 4-0. That success allowed Klopp's charges to score 25 points and climb to 3rd place in the standings. However, the gap to leading Chelsea is still amounting to four points. The Reds have not lost in ten consecutive Premier League matches at home (six victories and four draws). I cannot help but note that Liverpool is the most productive team in the current Premier League. The Reds scored 35 goals in 12 matches. On average, they score almost three goals per game.

Southampton approached the last round against the background of a streak of four consecutive matches without defeats (three victories and one draw). The team had every chance to extend this streak because it visited Norwich. But the reality turned out to be not so rosy. The Canaries won a sensational 2-1 victory, and the Saints missed the opportunity to break into the TOP-10. Now they are in the 13th place in the standings with 14 points after 13 rounds. Ralf Hasenhüttl's charges have problems with the creation of scoring chances. First of all, this is indicated by 11 goals scored in 12 games. I cannot help but note that seven of Southampton's matches in the current Premier League ended Under 2.5 goals scored. And the Saints won only one of six away games, conceding ten goals.
In the last Premier League draw, these teams exchanged home victories. Liverpool was stronger than Southampton at Anfield (1-0), while the Saints won 2-0 at St. Mary’s Stadium. Eight of the ten head-to-head confrontations at Anfield ended with “Both teams to score — no”. I don't think the Saints will have some chances in the upcoming match. Liverpool is currently one of the strongest teams in England. The Reds have accomplished their tasks in the Champions League, and now they will probably try to catch up with Chelsea in the Premier League. To do this, they first need to gain three points in the upcoming game. Southampton could have created problems for Liverpool at home, but it will not be able to do anything at Anfield. Do not forget that the Saints have conceded ten goals in six away games.
Prediction for the match: Liverpool to win with -1.5 handicap
