On Thursday, starting at 20:00, we have an interesting Premier League match between Southampton and Arsenal.
Usually this would have been a game with a definite favorite, but now things are different due to the countless injuries in the guests’ camp.
So it will be interesting to see how the match will unfold. At the end of the pre-chronicle, we also prepared a prediction for goals.
Southampton: Team form, news and statistics
The break due to the Corona Virus epidemic was auspicious for the Saints, who managed to win Friday’s match against Norwich.
This success is more than welcome for the morale of the team prepared by Ralph Hasenhüttl, who had lost 5 of the last 6 games of the championship prior to this game.
Due to the good evolutions in the first part of the championship, Southampton is quite quiet in the ranking, occupying the 14th position with 37 points, with 10 over the first relegation place.
If she wins today, she will draw Arsenal.
Southampton has the best offense in the second half of the standings with 38 goals scored, but only three teams have conceded more goals than her (52).
That’s why she has one of the highest goal / match averages in the league (3.0).
Moussa Djenepo is still unavailable due to the red card he received in the last game before the break of the championship, 0: 1 with Newcastle. Otherwise Hasenhüttl can best align 11.

Arsenal London: Team form, news and statistics
Arsenal need points like air if they want to hope for another participation in European cups.
She was left with only 40 points and dropped to 10th place after the two defeats suffered after the resumption of the championship: 0: 3 with Manchester City and 1: 2 with Brighton.
And the next matches are not easy at all due to the high number of unavailable players.
Granit Xhaka and Pablo Mari were replaced in the first 25 minutes of the match with Manchester City due to injuries, while goalkeeper Bernd Leno suffered a muscle strain in the match with Brighton, being replaced between goals by Martinez in the 40th minute. None of the three will be recovered until Thursday’s game.
They add to an already long list of unavailable players that includes names like Lucas Torreira, Calum Chambers, Cedric Soares, Sokratis Papastathopoulos (all injured) and David Luiz (suspended), so Arteta will have a very difficult mission in compiling a first 11 competitive.

Football Prediction of the Day Southampton vs Arsenal
Arsenal are in a very difficult situation due to the high number of unavailable players, but they only have the option of victory if they want to take another place in the European Cup.
And in attack, the team is still doing well with Aubameyang, Pepe and Nketiah or Lacazette, so we have reason to believe that it will score at least once, especially since they face one of the weakest defenses in the league.
But with five unavailable defenders (Pablo Mari, Chambers, Soares, Papastathopoulos and David Luiz), and without starting goalkeeper Leno, I don’t see how Arsenal could end the game without conceding a goal, especially as Southampton look good offensively and come after a victory. with 3: 0.
Bet Tips: Both teams score
Odds: 1.60
