Southampton – Arsenal : Preview & Prediction
But what is going on at Arsenal? After a very good start to 2022 where the Gunners took sixteen points out of a possible eighteen, the stoppage is terrible with three defeats in the last four games including two consecutive setbacks against Crystal Palace and Brighton. Mikel Arteta’s side have lost momentum in the battle for fourth place and have simply allowed rivals Tottenham to get back into the Champions League race. The Gunners have no choice but to win in the seaside resort of Southampton to get back on track ahead of three crucial back-to-back games against Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham. If Gabriel’s teammates find the level of production before the international break, everything should go well, otherwise the task will be complicated again.
Situated in the second part of the table and more precisely in fourteenth place, the Saints are experiencing a difficult end of season with six consecutive games without a single victory for a total of five defeats! The reception of the London club does not come at the right time, especially as Ralph Hasenhüttl’s men are still on the back of a 6-0 humiliation at Stamford Bridge. After losing the first leg 3-0, Che Adams and his teammates will be hoping for revenge in order to regain positive momentum and finish the last few weeks well.
Arsenal have conceded 16 fewer goals than their opponents in the league.
Arsenal are coming off a heavy 3-0 defeat at the Eagles.
Arsenal have won their last two away games at their opponents.
Southampton have not won against Arsenal in the Premier League since April 2018.
Southampton are on a 4-game home losing streak with 14 goals conceded.
Arsenal need to get back to winning ways and against a side in doubt in front of their home crowd, this looks like the right time. To do so, the Gunners will have to play like they did in January/February, so we advise the Londoners to win at the end of the match. The other recommended prediction is Martinelli or Saka or Smith-Rowe scoring at 1.52
