Southampton is ranked 14th in the English Premier League standings (ten points after ten matches). The Saints gained two victories and five draws and suffered three losses. After a pause for the games of the national teams in October, Southampton showed a streak of four matches without defeats in regulation time. The Saints lost to Chelsea in the League Cup only in the penalty shootout (1-1 and 3-4), And in the Premier League, they scored points in matches against Leeds (1-0) and Burnley (2-2). After that, Southampton secured a 1-0 away win over Watford on 30 October. Three points for Hasenhüttl's footballers were brought by Che Adams' goal in the middle of the 1st half. It is curious that this was the only shot on target delivered by the Saints in 90 minutes.

Aston Villa is in 15th place in the Premier League standings (ten points after ten rounds). The Lions chalked up three victories, one draw, and six losses. However, they were extremely unsuccessful in the October segment of the championship, not gaining even one point in the last four rounds. The failures of the Villains are explained by the difficult calendar. Aston Villa faced Tottenham (2-1), Wolverhampton (2- 3), and Arsenal (3-1). And on October 31, the Lions suffered a crushing defeat at home from West Ham (1-4). In the match versus the Hammers, Smith's players were behind during almost the whole game, despite the goal of Ollie Watkins in the 34th minute. Moreover, Ezri Konsa picked up a straight red card, so the Lions had to play with ten men for more than half an hour.
In the last championship, the opponents scored three points each. On November 1 last year, the Saints were stronger in a super-productive game in Birmingham (3-4), and on January 30, Aston Villa beat Southampton away with a minimum score (0-1). AS for the upcoming game, the bet on an exchange of goals scored looks promising. This event happened in eight out of ten head-to-head confrontations in the Premier League and the League Cup. There are also prerequisites for a goal exchange now: Southampton scored in six out of seven last official games, and Aston Villa did it in 11 out of 12 cases. In addition, the exchange of goals was recorded in five out of six games of the Lions.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes
