Southampton hosts Everton in round 26 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 19th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
On January 12, Southampton played against Manchester United at Old Trafford and managed to gain a 1-1 draw. Thus, Hasenhüttl's men suffered only one defeat in the previous eight rounds (three victories and four draws). Such results allowed Southampton to climb up to the 10th place in the standings (29 points after 24 games). The gap from the relegation zone is already 12 points. Moreover, the Saints did not suffer a single defeat in the previous eight home matches (five draws and three matches). All statistics of the team's performances at St. Mary's Stadium look like this: three wins, seven draws, and one loss with a goal difference of 14-10.

Everton hammered Leeds United in the last match (3-0). It was the first victory for the Toffees in the Premier League under Frank Lampard. In addition, they managed to break a streak of six games without victories (five defeats and one draw). Interesting fact: in the match against Leeds, Everton did not concede a single goal for the first time in several months. One victory was not enough to significantly improve the position in the standings. So far, the Toffees have only 22 points and take 16th place. The gap from the relegation zone is five points. At the moment, Everton is among the worst three teams in terms of points earned on foreign pitches (only six in 11 games). The Toffees gained only one victory and three draws and suffered seven defeats in 11 away games.
In the first round, Everton played under the management of Benitez and was stronger than Southampton at home (3-1). Six of the previous eight head-to-head confrontations at St. Mary's Stadium ended in victories for the Toffees. Now Hasenhüttl has a more organized team, but this is only because the Austrian has been working much longer in his post than Lampard. The Saints have not lost at home since September last year. At the same time, the Toffees cannot boast of good away results in the current season. In 11 games, they managed to win only once. In addition, they scored 10 goals and conceded 21 times. Of course, the Toffees will step up under Lampard. But now Southampton looks better, so I recommend betting on the hosts to win with a zero handicap.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to win with 0.0 handicap
