Potters Can Peg Back Saints

It can be hard to follow a truly stunning performance with anything close to the same level, as Southampton may find out this afternoon against a resolute Stoke side.

The bookies make the Saints nothing longer than 3/5 (Ladbrokes) to follow their 8-0 thrashing of Sunderland with another win, but the draw is actually the value bet at best odds of 16/5 with Boylesports. That’s being the outcome on all 4 occasions these sides have met in the Premier League.

The Potters have only lost once on their top flight travels so far this season and can claim a 1-0 victory at the Etihad as a real badge of honour. Mark Hughes’s boys also arrive with confidence having beaten Swansea 2-1 last week so don’t be surprised if the spoils are shared around here.
