Southampton vs Liverpool: If Liverpool beats Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium, they can cut the deficit on Premier League leaders Manchester City to one point.
The Reds are still chasing an unprecedented quadruple, and a win here would set up a sensational domestic season finale the following Saturday. Our initial Southampton versus Liverpool prediction is 1.98 for an away win by more than one goal, owing to Southampton’s previous troubles.
Southampton Odds
Southampton has dropped to 15th place in the table after picking up just one point in their past four games and only one win in their last ten.
Saints are not in danger of getting relegated, but following a 3-0 thrashing at Brentford last time out. The season’s conclusion can’t come soon enough. Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side fell behind 2-0 after 15 minutes and lost their eighth league match in a row.
Saints have done well this season against solid clubs, drawing twice with City. Also, beating Arsenal here last month, and getting points from Manchester United and Tottenham.
“We’ve proved that we can do something extremely significant against top opponents. That’s exactly what we’ll need on Tuesday evening,” Hasenhuttl added. “The players realize who we’re up against, how tough it will be, and where they’re in their season.”
“But, if you want to call it that, it’s our Champions League final and we’re going for it with everything we’ve got. The team will do everything they can to make the supporters proud.”
Southampton has nothing to lose, so it will be unfortunate if they do not at least try it in front of their own fans. The Southampton versus Liverpool odds make 2.5 for an away win and both teams to score appealing.
Liverpool Odds
Liverpool must bounce back from Saturday’s FA Cup final penalty shootout triumph over Chelsea.
After repeating their Carabao Cup success in February, the Reds have clinched a place in the Champions League final against Real Madrid.
“We just need to approach it game by game like we have all year,” James Milner stated. “We still have three games to play.” We’ll attempt to win them and see where it leads us.
“We’re aware that City holds the title. They’re in a good spot, and they’re a hardworking, talented group. “But it’s been a fantastic season no matter what because we have two trophies in the cabinet and a glimmer of hope in the other two.”
Mohamed Salah’s ailment is concerning, and Milner admitted it after the Wembley victory. “You could sense the tiredness out there, a couple of niggles as well.”
Jurgen Klopp can rotate his lineup to keep things interesting, and Liverpool’s proximity to the finish line should entice them.
Diogo Jota scored twice in Southampton’s 4-0 loss at Anfield in November, and 4.5 for him to score first here completes our Southampton vs. Liverpool betting recommendations.
