Total goals prediction: over 2.5 goals
Three of the previous five meetings between these two clubs have finished with Over 2.5 Goals. Sunderland has recorded an average of one goal per game in the last five matches in the Championship and EFL Cup. But Southampton have rattled the net 11 times in that duration. The Saints also thrashed the Black Cats with a 0-4 victory in the most recent meeting at Stadium of Light. Therefore, we can expect this game to feature a total of at least three goals in this fixture.
Both teams to score prediction: Yes
The last two H2Hs of these teams at Stadium of Light finished without BTTS outcomes. However, both sides have been quite favourable on the scoring end recently. Sunderland have rattled the net in four of the last five games while keeping just one clean sheet. On the other hand, Southampton scored in each game during the aforestated period. But the Saints were unable to keep a single clean sheet in that course. Hence, we predict the teams to share a BTTS result in this fixture.
Correct score prediction: 2-1 to Southampton
Sunderland have scored just one goal in three of the recent five games. Meanwhile, Southampton have rattled the net at least twice in each of the starting four matches in the EFL Championship. The Saints have also conceded just one goal in three games during the same course. In the last four H2Hs against the Black Cats, Sunderland allowed just two goals at the back while keeping two clean sheets. Given these numbers, we predict a 1-2 lead for Southampton before the referee blows the full-time whistle.
