Southampton vs Fulham – Preview, Prediction and Betting Tips 13/05/2023

Check out our prediction on Southampton vs Fulham as the hosts MUST win this game if they want to keep their chances of remaining in the Premier League alive.

Prediction on Southampton vs Fulham

For predict Fulham to beat Southampton 3-1 away from home, thanks to the hosts’ series of horrendous form performances. The Saints have lost four of their last five PL matches, including Monday’s 4-3 defeat at Nottingham but Fulham ended their poor form with a 5-3 win over Leicester City, hence we’ve backed them to record their second win on a spin.

Southampton may have a pile of horrid results, but they have what it takes to score against Fulham. The Saints scored three goals at Nottingham, the Cottagers conceded three at home against Leicester, hence there’s a reasonable feeling that both teams could get on the scoresheet with at least three goals to be scored.

Match Preview on Southampton vs Fulham

Southampton can confirm their relegation to the Championship this weekend if they lose to Fulham. They are are the bottom of the table with 24 points after 35 matches. The Saints lost four and drew one of their last five matches. Their chances of pulling off a win over Fulham are thin as they will be without a host of senior players including Perraud due to injury issues. 

Fulham lost three of their last five Premier League matches. A defeat to Southampton won’t impact their place in the standings as they are very much safe from the relegation zone and away from the top six. The Cottagers have nothing to lose but will be without some key injured and suspended players including Andreas Pereira and Mitrovic.
