Southampton Team News
This is one terrible season for Southampton. They’re worst since they were promoted to the Premier League in 2012.
They are 20th in the table with 18 points and only five wins, changed three managers during the season, and a couple of days ago they lose in the FA Cup to Grimsby Town at home, a team from League Two (4th tier).
The situation is very difficult for Southampton and it will be a big surprise if they manage to stay in the Premier League. The safety zone is only four points above them but the problem is that Southampton has had 10 defeats in the last 12 games!
No team is in the worst form since Boxing Day and Southampton has had some incredible results. They beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge but they failed to win in a couple of games at home where they had to pick some points.
This game against Leicester is very important to them. At St. Mary’s, Southampton is eight games without a win and they have five consecutive defeats. The last win come in August against Chelsea. Their home record is the worst in the league.
In the last 13 games, Southampton kept only one clean sheet and failed to score in five games from the last 15. At home they failed to score in only three games, but also at home they don’t have a single clean sheet. They conceded at least a goal in every game!
