Saints fancied for road win
Southampton secured a win against Hull over the weekend, marking their third triumph in the last four league games. Preston, in stark contrast, have picked up just two of the last 15 available points. A look at the head to head shows these sides haven’t met in the league for 12 years.
These are two teams trending in opposite directions. Preston performed beyond expectations early in the season, but have come crashing back to reality. While their season-long record remains strong, they have been one of the worst teams in the league over the past month.
An encouraging spell has seen the pressure ease on head coach Russell Martin. We can expect Southampton to build on that with another win on Wednesday night.
Preston vs Southampton Bet 1: Southampton to win @ 2.18 Bet9ja
High corner count
Only two teams have a higher average of corners in their matches compared to Southampton’s 11.8. Preston are below the league average for total corners, but they broke from their recent pattern by securing five corners in their weekend draw against Millwall.
This line might seem a little high with Preston’s corner stats this season. Southampton, though, have reliably hit this over.
We can see them getting up to seven or eight corners quite easily by themselves in a match they will want to dominate. With just two or three corners from Preston, betting on the over seems promising.
Preston vs Southampton Bet 2: Over 10.5 total corners @ 2.11 Bet9ja
Goals expected at Deepdale
Southampton have seen over 2.5 goals in 75% of their league matches this season. This is the joint-highest rate in the division. Preston have landed this over in seven of their 12 fixtures and in five out of their six fixtures at Deepdale.
This bet looks like a no-brainer despite Preston going under this number at the weekend. Southampton have gone over this line in five of their six away matches and their style of play under Russell Martin tends to lead to scoring chances at both ends of the pitch.
Preston vs Southampton Bet 3: Over 2.5 total goals @ 1.74 Bet9ja
