Southampton currently sits in 13th place in the standings having picked up 40 points. Over the last four games, Southampton has picked up four points, and in this game, they are going to need to find more offensive success. In the last game against Brighton, Southampton scored two goals, and that led to the 2-2 draw. After falling behind 2-0, James Ward-Prowse scored a goal late in the 1st half, and another goal in the 54th minute to secure the victory. In this game, Southampton can’t be having the defense falling behind early. Southampton has scored 40 goals and added another 56 assists. James Ward-Prowse has been the top player scoring nine goals and adding another four assists. 

On the other side of this matchup is Crystal Palace who sits in 14th place in the standings having picked up 38 points. Over the last three games Crystal Palace has only picked up one point, and over their last four games across all contests, they have failed to find the back of the net. In the last game against Leeds United, Crystal Palace had 53 percent of the possession and seven shots on target, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. Crystal Palace has scored 43 goals and added another 41 assists. Wilfried Zaha has been the top player for Crystal Palace scoring 11 goals and adding another assist. 

This game is a perfect one for a team total. Crystal Palace’s offense has been awful over the last few games not scoring in the last four games, and it’s not going to get any better in this game. Look for Crystal Palace to not find a lot of success against the Southampton defense, and Crystal Palace will finish under 0.5 goals.
