How Does Southampton Arrive?

Southampton, managed by Russell Martin, is enduring a tough Premier League season. They currently sit in last place with only six points from 17 matches. Recent performances have been a mix of draws and losses, highlighting both defensive and offensive struggles. In their most recent match, they drew 0-0 against Fulham, a game that exposed their lack of finishing in front of goal.

Previously, they were defeated by Liverpool in the EFL Cup and suffered a heavy 0-5 loss to Tottenham in the league. Although they managed a 1-1 draw against Brighton, the team still lacks the consistency needed to compete at this level. Southampton must capitalize on their home advantage to seek a positive result and climb out of the relegation zone.

How Does West Ham Arrive?

In their most recent match, they drew 1-1 against Brighton, showcasing solid defense but failing to capitalize on scoring opportunities.

Previously, they also drew 1-1 with Bournemouth and secured a thrilling 2-1 win over Wolverhampton. However, losses to Leicester and Arsenal highlight areas for improvement, particularly in defense.
