Things to consider when choosing the Southampton vs Arsenal predictions

Arsenal will start this match as the favourite team at the online bookies but the competition will be for sure a close one from the outset and we expect to see a lot of pressure from both sides.
Arsenal is looking to record a positive result today but this will not be an easy task as they couldn’t defeat Southampton at home in the last six direct matches.

Southampton is not having a very good season, this makes them be situated only in the middle of the standings in Premier League, on the 11th place with 27 points.
Southampton recorded this season in Premier League 7 victories, 6 draws and 9 defeats, last round they managed to defeat 3-0 Leicester and this victory was very important for them as it will cheer their moral for the match with Arsenal.

Southampton are aware that Arsenal will be a very difficult opponent and a victory will be hard to obtain despite their home advantage. Even if they managed to defat Arsenal several times before at home, today match will be different as Arsenal is in a tremendous shape and will try not to make any wrong step. Southampton are undefeated in their last 5 home matches against Arsenal in all competitions.

Southampton comes after three victories in a row, two in Premier League and one in FA Cup with Norwich.

Southampton managed to qualify in the EFL Cup this Wednesday at the expense of Liverpool and now they are looking to record another positive result and to take advantage of the fact that they are the host in the match with Arsenal in the FA Cup.

In Premier League Arsenal is doing great, they comes after five victories in a row and are undefeated in 19 of the last 33 league matches with 14 victories and 5 draws.
Last round Arsenal played against Burnley and defeat them at home: 2-1, they showed battling qualities to beat Burnley this weekend and Wenger was pleased with what he saw.
Arsene Wenger admits Alexis Sanchez was “too cool” after his last-gasp Penenka penalty earned Arsenal victory against Burnley.

Arsenal showed some problems in terms of defense in their recent matches played on foreign land, which cost them valuable points in the championship, and that’s why Arsene Wenger will most likely choose to spare in this game many good players, this should may also represent an important advantage for their opponents today.

We believe that they have big chances for a victory today or at least at a draw, they seemed to recover their shape after they recorded six victories in a row in Premier League and FA Cup.

In FA Cup Arsenal have played last round against Preston which they defeated 1-2.
