-----------------------------------

Southampton and West Ham United face off on Tuesday in an English Premier League showdown at St. Mary’s Stadium. 

 

Southampton comes into this game sitting in 9th place in the standings and they have picked up 25 points this year. Southampton has had success this season but as of late they haven’t played as well. Two games ago they lost to Manchester CIty. In the last game against Fulham, Southampton’s offense could only manage three shots total and two shots on goal. Southampton had 54 percent of the possession but the shots on goal have to be concerning. Southampton is averaging 1.67 goals per game while their defense is giving up 1.27 goals per game. Danny Ings has been the best player for Southampton putting up six goals so far this season. 

 

On the other side of this matchup is West Ham United who sit in 10th place in the standings with 22 points so far this season.West Ham United’s last last win came four games ago and since that point they have played to a couple of draws and lost to Chelsea. In the last game against Brighton it took a goal in the 82nd minute by Thomas Soucek  for the squad to even escape with the point. On the season West Ham is averaging 1.53 goals per game while their defense is giving up 1.40 goals per game. Soucek and Jarrod Bowen have been the best players for West Ham and on the season they have both put up four goals. 

 

I expect this to be a back and forth affair with plenty of goal scoring chances by both teams. Look for both teams to finish with at least two goals and that is going to lead to this game going well over the posted total. 

 

Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
