Southampton take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 28 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 18th at St. Mary’s Stadium (Southampton).
It's not entirely unexpected to see Southampton at the bottom of the league table, but this team has long established itself as a solid mid-table team. As for the upcoming match, bookmakers naturally believe in the success of the London club. However, it is worth noting that Southampton, despite being at the bottom of the table, still shows a very tenacious and resilient character. They often lose by just one goal, and currently, they have been accumulating points actively with 3 wins out of their previous 5 matches. As for the upcoming match, the hosts can certainly show a good and tenacious character. Tottenham's form cannot be called perfect right now, and this match could be productive for the hosts, and they are capable of improving their difficult position.

Tottenham is currently in a high 4th position and is fighting hard for the bronze position. Naturally, the Londoners are a top team in the country, but their form cannot be called perfect. They have suffered two unexpected defeats in their previous 5 matches, losing 0-1 to Wolverhampton and suffering a heavy defeat to Leicester 1-4. They also lost a recent cup match to Sheffield, who is not even in the elite league. This raises doubts about whether this match will end positively for the guests. A tough battle can be expected here, which will either lead to a minimal victory for the guests, or they may lose points in this match altogether.
The fixture may seem quite simple, as a representative of the top-5 faces an outsider. But Southampton is not so simple right now, and the team can certainly aim for a point gain, or at least a tough fight in this match. Therefore, the recommended betting option is: Southampton (+1 handicap). A confident victory for Tottenham is in question here.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to win with +1.0 handicap.
