Southampton take on the visitors Everton in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 1st at St. Mary’s Stadium (Southampton).
Southampton has not become the new 'money bag'. The "Saints" got a new owner almost simultaneously with Newcastle. There was less noise than with the princes from Saudi Arabia at St. James Park, but Dragan Sholak also has considerable opportunities. But it seems that the Serbian millionaire decided not to deviate from the philosophy of the project as a whole. He actively bought, but not ready-made stars, but promising, little-known guys. Not surprisingly, even with all the talents of Ralph Hasenhüttl, the results so far are mediocre: victories over the crisis Leicester and Chelsea and a draw with Leeds (plus a win in the League Cup, but there was a modest Campbridge) with 4 defeats. The "Soton" lost three times in 4 last rounds.

Everton managed to give a good series of matches without defeats. The Toffies got off to a bad start to the season, losing not only Chelsea but also Aston Villa. And then they only took a draw with the newcomer, Nottingham Forest, and the modest Fleetwood Town were beaten in the Cup minimally, 1-0. But further wards Frank Lampard managed to cling to points - with Branford, Leeds, and even in the derby with Liverpool. Moreover, in those 0-0, the Blues were at least no worse than the Reds, and Mikolenko tightly closed the Mo Salah himself. And, most importantly, after a pause associated with the death of the queen, and before the “window” for the Nations League, it turned out to take victory. The all-important goal was scored by summer rookie Neil Mauppe. His goal remained the only one against West Ham - by the way, ironically, the Hammers are now coached by Everton's legendary manager, David Moyes!
Four times in a row, that in the 2020/2021 season, that in the last draw of the English Premier League, the team that played at home in the match invariably won. Southampton will definitely try to win at home, and the case is considered the favorite of the confrontation. But Everton also looks decent, so you should look at the neutral option with " over 2.5 goals scored".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
