Southampton v Liverpool Betting Tips and Predictions

Free football betting tips and predictions for Southampton v Liverpool in the Premier League this weekend.

The race for a top-four finish intensifies this Sunday when Liverpool travel to face Southampton and we have football tips.

 

Liverpool currently sit seventh in the league, but can close the gap on the Saints in fourth to just one point with victory at St Marys’.

Southampton go in to the game refreshed having had a week off due to no FA Cup or European commitments. Ronald Koeman’s side are showing no signs of giving up their fight for Champions League qualification and have the best defensive record in the league this season; conceding just 17 goals and only affording the opposition 66 shots on target.

 

Liverpool go into the game full of confidence however following an unbeaten nine match run in the league as well as showing form in the FA Cup and Europa League.

 

The continued absences of Steven Gerrard and Lucas in midfield are a blow for the Reds, but Raheem Sterling could start after returning in Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Besiktas on Thursday. Mario Balotelli scored a late penalty to give Liverpool the advantage in the Europa League tie against the Turkish side but may once again be used as a ‘super-sub’, with all of the Italian’s goals for the Reds coming after 80 minutes.

 

Liverpool will struggle to break down Southampton’s defence so we’re anticipating their first goal to come late-on in the last 15 minutes, which is priced at 15/2 with William Hill and is our first football betting tip.

 

The Saints are without left-back Ryan Bertrand who serves the final game of his three-match ban following his red card in the defeat to Swansea. Morgan Schneiderlin is expected to return however and boost Southampton’s options going forward. Graziano Pelle has scored 12 goals in all competitions this season, but has not found the back of the net in his last three league games. The Italian is due a goal and is our second selection at 6/1 with Boylesports to score first.

 

Neither side will want to lose the game and a draw seems a reasonable prediction. Southampton have got off to many positive starts in matches this season so our final betting tip for Southampton v Liverpool is Southampton to be winning at half-time with the game finishing in a draw which is valued at 16/1 with Betfred.

 

Liverpool won the fixture 2-1 at Anfield when the sides last played on the opening weekend of the season. Few would have predicted then that the reverse fixture would hold such significance on the race for a top-four finish and is a game neither side will want to lose.
