Southampton vs West Brom Prediction, Tips & Prediction

Southampton v West Bromwich Albion
England - Premier League
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2024
Starts at 12pm UK / 00pm CET
Location: St. Mary Stadium.

The Saints were hoping for a much better start to the season, but they had to settle for two losses right away, which left them a bit behind. However, they clinched a win in their last game and would have given anything for another three points this weekend.

The team has a favorable game this week of games, as it faces a team that was promoted to the first division only at the end of last season.

Not only have the Baggies not won so far in 2024-21, they also lack top division experience. They were also the team that conceded more goals than any team in the championship and to keep that accumulating they are on the road and facing the wounded and determined men of Ralph Hasenhuttl.

Moving on, Santos also have a dominant h2h record against this opponent.

For the reasons, expect a Southampton win this Sunday.

Southampton vs West Brom: Head to head (h2h)

• Hasenhuttl's men are on a four-game winning streak against this opponent.
• They have kept a clean sheet in seven of their previous eleven matches.
• Guests have only won twice at this stadium since 2000.
• The visitors have failed to score in four of their first five games at this ground.

Southampton v West Brom: prediction

The Saints earned a 1-0 away win on the last day of the game against Burnley. It was a confidence-boosting victory against one of the best defenders in the competition.

Meanwhile, Slaven Bilic's men managed a 3-3 draw against Chelsea at home.

As it is, Hasenhuttl's men have the upper hand. They were one of last season's impressive teams in the EPL, especially in the second half of the season. On the other hand, his counterpart has just been promoted to the main echelon.

Moving forward, Santos are desperate for a win and are at home. In addition, he also has a great h2h record against his rival, and especially in recent years. In fact, they are on a four-game winning streak against this opponent, and have also recorded seven of their previous eleven wins in total.

Furthermore, the Baggies have only one win in their last ten games in total, and that only win was in the EFL Cup, against a team from the lower divisions.

With those factors in mind, expect a Southampton win this weekend.
