Southampton hosts Tottenham in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, December 28th at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
In the last round, Southampton sensationally beat West Ham away (2-3). In the last five rounds, Hasenhüttl's charges suffered only one defeat (three draws and one victory). Not the best results, but far from the worst. Thanks to them, the team managed to climb to the 14th line in the standings, having already gained 20 points. The gap from the relegation zone is nine points. It is noteworthy that the Saints have one game in hand. They have some problems with production. In 18 matches, only 19 goals were scored. In addition, the defense is also not reliable (28 goals conceded). The team does not shine on the home pitch, but it certainly does not fail. In nine home games, only one defeat was recorded (five draws and two victories). Six matches ended with Under 2.5 goals scored.

Tottenham predictably beat Crystal Palace in the last round (3-0). After that victory, Antonio Conte's charges have got closer to the Champions League zone. Now the Spurs have 29 points and are on the 5th line in the standings. Having three games in hand, they are six points behind the top four. The Lilywhites have not lost six consecutive matches in the championship (four victories and two draws). Four out of six games ended with Over 2.5 goals scored. The Spurs don't always do well on foreign pitches. They lost three out of six away matches (two victories and one draw, and a goal difference was 5-9). It is noteworthy that only Norwich scored less in the Premier League away matches (three goals).
In the last Premier League draw, Southampton was hammered by Tottenham at home (2-5). Twelve of the last thirteen head-to-head matches in all tournaments ended with an exchange of goals scored. Harry Kane scored eight goals in twelve matches against Southampton. The Saints have suffered only one defeat at home this season. This means that they will definitely put up a worthy resistance to the Spurs, who do not always perform confidently at foreign stadiums (only two victories in six matches). The Lilywhites are in greater need of three points because they are fighting for the TOP-4. And I must admit that their chances are higher at least because of the stronger roster. Let me remind you that Kane scored two goals in the last round. And he will probably help the Spurs gain another victory.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham to win with 0.0 handicap
