Southampton hosts Everton in round 12 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, November 9th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
Two rounds ago, Southampton suffered one of the most devastating defeats in its history, and even in front of its fans. Leicester just took off the halo from the Saints, scoring them nine unanswered goals. Then there were two losses to Manchester City in the FA Cup and in the championship. But even these results did not force management to fire coach Hasenhuttl who has already brought the team to the relegation zone. Southampton takes 18th place, and it earned only one point in the last six championship matches. The goal difference after 11 rounds is 10-27.

Everton is not much better. It has 3 points more than the upcoming opponent has and is one line higher in the standings. The team earned four points in the last seven matches of the championship, and five of them lost were lost. The goal difference is 11-17. Having such a potential of the squad (Walcott, Iwobi, Gomes, Davis, Pickford, Richarlison, Bernard and others), Everton should be somewhere around the first five. But we have what we have... The team has not rolled in the season yet. But in the last 4 matches, it played 1-1 with Tottenham, beat West Ham and knocked out Watford from the league cup.
Despite the away status of the match, Everton still looks preferable in the upcoming confrontation. Its squad is more powerful, and some modest hint of recovery is visible, judging by the latest indicators. Still, I think it is more reliable to bet on the exchange of goals. Everton scored in 7 out of 11 championship games. It scores in the last four games in a row. Richarlison and the company will probably manage to break through the worst defense in the league (I will recall that the Saints conceded 27 goals). But Everton is a complete hole in defense either. It conceded 17 goals. The Toffees kept a clean sheet only 3 times in the championship, and only once in away matches. Southampton, in turn, did not score on its pitch in only one of five games. Given the abovementioned, we may well count on an exchange of goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
