Southampton is in 13th position in the standings (two points after three rounds). The Saints started the new championship with a defeat. In the debut round, they lost to Everton in Liverpool (3-1). Since then, Southampton has not yet lost. Hasenhüttl's footballers took away points from Manchester United (1-1) in the home match and then declassified the modest Newport County in the game of the 2nd round of the League Cup (8-0). On August 28, Southampton snatched a draw in an away game against Newcastle. The Magpies took the lead twice during the match, but the Saints managed to win back in both cases.

West Ham United is in 2nd place in the English Premier League standings (seven points after three matches). The Hammers haven’t suffered a single defeat in the championship yet. West Ham defeated Newcastle away in the starting match (4-2) and then defeated Leicester at home (4-1). On August 28, Moyes's footballers played at home against Crystal Palace. The London derby ended in a 2-2 draw. The Hammers took the lead twice through the efforts of Pablo Fornals and Michail Antonio. The Glaziers escaped from defeat thanks to Conor Gallagher, who scored a double within 12 minutes.
West Ham has good statistics of head-to-head confrontations against the Saints, but that does not mean that the Hammers will have an easy match. In the last four games in Southampton, the Hammers have not won with a difference of more than one goal, and now the hosts are also unlikely to give up three points without resistance. The teams are likely to score at least one goal each. They did it in all three previous matches in the current Premier League draw. In the games of West Ham, Over 2.5 goals scored were recorded three times in a row, and the Saints showed such production in two out of three cases. It is likely that this trend will work again on Saturday.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score — yes and Over 2.5 goals scored
