Arsenal vs Southampton prediction

Arsenal is on an impressive run of 10 games without defeat. Their recent 2-0 victory against PSG in the UEFA Champions League was their third consecutive win after two draws, one against City in the EPL and a goalless draw against Atalanta in their UEFA opener match. Out of these 10 games, they have secured 7 wins and 3 draws, and they are set to host Southampton in the EPL week 7 on Saturday.

Southampton, on the other hand, faced a narrow defeat against Newcastle in their opening fixture of the EPL, followed by 3 more defeats. They salvaged a draw against newly promoted side Ipswich but lost in their week 6 game against Bournemouth. Having been relegated in the 22/23 season, their comeback has been shaky and they are yet to find form and collect maximum points.

Arsenal is yet to face a defeat in the 24/25 competitive calendar, and they appear to be in great form. However, Southampton can take advantage of tired legs, especially after Arsenal’s recent game against PSG. The last time these teams faced each other was in the 22/23 season, resulting in a 3-3 draw. Despite Southampton’s recent struggles, they have found the target, making them a potential threat to Arsenal.

In conclusion, Arsenal looks strong, but Southampton might capitalize on their recent exertions. The prediction for the Arsenal vs Southampton match is a handicap of -3.5 in favor of Southampton.
