Saints Ain't Lively

They rank joint-last in the total goals table so a snooze-fest is in the offing on the south coast.

While the glamour match of United-Spurs is taking place on the telly, at St Mary’s Stadium it’s the battle of the two sides whose games produce the fewest goals. What were Sky thinking passing this one up?!

It may not be a match or a bet to quicken the pulse, but backing under 2.5 goals looks like free money at a best price 8/13 with Skybet.

Southampton and Boro league fixtures have both only produced over 2.5 goals on 5 of 14 occasions each this season - that’s a 36% strike rate. Imagine what will happen when they meet. Probably not much.

The Saints are the better side but after losing 3-0 to Palace and crashing out of Europe, it looks a good time to face them, especially with Charlie Austin sidelined. His absence makes our chance of wager success here all the greater.
