Our predictions for Tottenham vs Southampton
Given the current form and standings, Spurs are likely to dominate possession and create more scoring opportunities. Southampton, however, will be desperate for points and may adopt a more defensive approach, looking to counter-attack. The match could be closely contested, but Spurs' superior quality and home advantage should see them through.
Match Prediction: Spurs 2-0 Southampton
Form Guide and Team Overview
Spurs
Spurs have had a mixed bag of results in their recent outings, managing just one win from their last five Premier League matches. They have also struggled in home games against the lower-ranked teams this season, losing to both Ipswich and Leicester, so this could be a potential banana skin for Tottenham despite being heavy favourites.
Last 5 league matches:
- Loss: 0-1 vs Chelsea (A)
- Loss: 0-2 vs Fulham (A)
- Draw: 2-2 vs Bournemouth (H)
- Loss: 0-1 vs Man City (H)
- Win: 4-1 vs Ipswich (A)
Southampton
Southampton's recent form has been challenging, but a draw at home against Crystal Palace will have lifted spirits ahead of this one. The team is in dire need of a win to boost an unlikely push for survival, but with just two wins to their name all season, it doesn't look too likely here.

Key Battles & Players to Watch

- Kyle Walker-Peters vs Destiny Udogie: Both full backs will be keen to join the attack as much as possible, keeping their opposite number on their toes at both ends of the pitch.
