Tottenham Hotspur welcome the visitors Southampton in the English Premiere League – Round 15. The match will be held on Wednesday, December 5th at the Wembley Stadium (London).
In their last round featuring London derby, the ‘Spurs’ had a striking defeat 4-2, so now they sit 5th in the table, going 1 point behind the 3rd Chelsea and trailing Arsenal just by the goal difference (Tottenham produced 25 goals and missed 15). All in all, we have been witnessing a tight struggle for the Champions League zone between the London clubs, thus, the hosts are very motivated ahead of the kick-off. Tottenham should not make further mistakes to continue their run in the close race for the title, and they should get rid of the unpleasant aftertaste following their loss to the ‘Gunners’ (the ‘Spurs’ are extremely angry after the derby). The team are consistent in their wins over ‘lesser’ opponents, having lost to Watford at the start of the season yet.

Southampton are not in the best form now. They hold the 18th line, which is the relegation zone, counting 9 points. The ‘Saints’’ record speaks for itself – in 14 rounds, they got only 1 win over Crystal Palace, 0-2, at the start of the campaign, they scored 12 goals and missed 26. The team are winless 10 matches in a row yet. Their only achievement is the draw with Manchester United (given the present inconsistency of the ‘Devils’, the scoreline was predictable though). Southampton are depressed now and face the Wednesday match in an extremely difficult situation.
The London club are considered favorite in the coming meeting; they need to rack up points in every round. It is noteworthy that Tottenham will miss a number of key players, like the defenders Davinson Sanchez and Jan Vertonghen; the wingback Kieran John Trippier is questionable, and Moussa Dembele will not play. Still, the ‘Spurs’ can and must win Southampton that are under crisis now. Moreover, Tottenham have top-class performers which the ‘Saints’ cannot boast.
Prediction for the match: Tottenham Hotspur to win home.
