Southampton vs Brentford: the Abundance of Goals from Both Teams

In the postponed match of the 18th round of the English Championship, Southampton will host Brentford. Their head-to-head meetings are productive. Will it be a total over again?

Southampton's last opponent in the English Championship was Tottenham. With ten men, the team of Ralph Hasenhüttl held a draw. This game ended with a score of 1:1. According to 19 performances, the Saints have 21 points and are on the 14th line in the standings. Last week, Southampton managed to make it to the last 32 of the FA Cup. Also, the team beat Swansea City away (3:2 in added time).

In the first match of 2022, Brentford managed to end a defeated streak in the English championship. The team led by Thomas Frank showed their battle spirit in the home game against Aston Villa and won 2:1. At the moment, the Bees have 23 points and 12th place in the Premier League standings. Last week, Brentford also played the last 64 match of the FA Cup final. The Bees defeated Port Vale with a score of 4:1.

In all tournaments, Southampton and Brentford have met in 26 matches. The Saints have 11 wins, and the Bees were stronger than the opponent in eight games. It is worth noting that the teams scored a total of 35 goals in head-to-head meetings.

• The last three home matches of Southampton within the English Championship ended up with a draw.
• In eight of Southampton's last ten home matches within the English Championship, the total under 2.5 goals worked out.
• In the English Championship, Brentford has conceded at least two goals in their last five away matches.
• Brentford has not achieved a positive result in the previous five away matches of the Premier League.

Southampton is approaching the upcoming game with specific lineup problems. Ralph Hasenhüttl cannot count on the defenders of Livramento and Walker-Peters – this will weaken Brentford's offence. In the last match of the Premier League, Thomas Frank's team left the game crisis behind and returned on the winning path. In 26 meetings of Southampton and Brentford, a total of 70 goals were scored. We will see the total over series at the Saints arena. I propose to consider the TO and the productive actions of both teams.
