Last season, Southampton came fourth in the Championship, but still made it into the play-offs, so they're now in the top division. But it's worth remembering that the Saints might be facing relegation again, as they didn't quite prepare right for such a high level of competition.
They only won two games out of 31, and they beat Everton and Ipswich 1:0 and 2:1, but the other four were draws. Southampton lost the remaining 25 battles and so became the first in the EPL to be relegated to the Championship.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa still has a lot of goals and objectives at the end of the season. Birmingham are still in with a shout for the FA Cup trophy, having reached the semifinals, where they'll face Crystal Palace. They also reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, but suffered a 1:3 away defeat to PSG in the week, which makes it difficult for them to reach the semifinals.
On top of that, Unai Emery's team is still fighting to qualify for next season's Champions League through the EPL. In the last three rounds, they beat Brentford 1:0, Brighton 3:0, and Nottingham Forest 3:1, which has helped them climb to seventh in the standings.

Match Prediction 12 April 2025
Aston Villa won in the last three rounds of the EPL, which helped the Birminghamites get closer to the Champions League zone. They'll be fighting to improve their league position until the end of the season, and in the upcoming match they'll face the main outsider of the league. Unai Emery's team have beaten Southampton in the last four head-to-head meetings in a row, so they're the favorites.
The game against Southampton is sandwiched between the two quarterfinal battles in the Champions League with PSG. Birmingham will have to play smart to save energy and emotions for the second leg against the Parisians. In seven previous head-to-head meetings, the Saints and the Lions have scored only 9 goals against each other (1.29 goals per game on average). So, the best bet here is probably a total under 2.5 goals, and you could also stick a bet on the exact score of 0:2.
