Southampton vs Tottenham Prediction, Odds and Where To Watch: Back this 25/1 Bet Builder tonight

Southampton and Tottenham go head-to-head at St Mary's tonight at 7pm.

Southampton find themselves at the bottom of the Premier League, with just one win from 15 games, putting manager Russell Martin firmly in the Sack Race spotlight. Over at Tottenham, Ange Postecoglou is feeling the pressure as his team battles through a five-match winless streak across all competitions.

With both managers under intense scrutiny, this clash could prove pivotal and one that could have serious consequences for the losing side.

Recent encounters between these two teams have been nothing short of goal-fests: 3-3, 4-1, 2-3, 1-1, 2-1, 2-5, 3-2, and 1-1. With such a high-scoring history, I’m expecting another goal-drenched encounter this weekend, with over 3.5 goals the first pick for this 25/1 Bet Builder with BetMGM.

Southampton have racked up 48 yellow cards this season, second only to Chelsea (50) in the Premier League. Midfielder Flynn Downes has been a key contributor, with six bookings to his name; five of which have come in his last nine appearances, including two in the past two matches.

Mateus Fernandes, one of the few bright sparks for Southampton this season, is priced at 12/5 to have a shot on target against Spurs. The former Sporting CP midfielder has been active in recent matches, with 10 shots in his last five games, including his first Premier League goal for Saints against Liverpool. He’s also had two shots on target in each of his last two home games, against Liverpool and Chelsea.

Finally, I’m backing James Maddison to either score or assist, which takes the Bet Builder to a juicy 25/1. Maddison has been involved in nine goals across 15 league matches (5 goals & 5 assists) and will be itching to conjure up a moment of magic against a vulnerable Southampton defence that has struggled all season.

Pedro Porro is one of the Premier League's most attacking full-backs, who is never hesitant to take a shot when the opportunity arises. With 25 shots in 15 games this season, he ranks third in Spurs’ squad for this statistic, boasting more shots than the likes of Heung-Min Son, James Maddison, and Dejan Kulusevski.

Porro has already netted twice this season, in the 1-1 draw at Leicester and the 4-0 demolition of Manchester City. With Spurs set to face an error-strewn Southampton side on Sunday - who have conceded 31 goals so far and failed to keep a clean sheet in 26 of their last 27 Premier League matches - Porro will likely be at the heart of the Tottenham's attacking action.

At 11/5, he’s an appealing pick to register a shot on target, especially considering his form and tendency to roar forward. Additionally, at 6/1, he looks great value to score again, having found the net in the 2022/23 season's trip to St Mary's.
