Southampton v Crystal Palace
The Saints could be sat in the top five by Saturday evening.
Southampton matches have followed a strict binary pattern so far this season which appears to make them a good option for scoreline betting.
Saints’ league results in 2013-14:
WBA 0 Southampton 1
Southampton 1 Sunderland 1
Norwich 1 Southampton 0
Southampton 0 West Ham 0
Liverpool 0 Southampton 1
After the headline-grabbing victory at Anfield last time out, everybody is now expecting Southampton to romp to victory against lowly Crystal Palace. It’s fair to say that the Eagles look short of goals, but ironically they have in fact scored more (four) than their high-flying hosts this afternoon (3).
The other thing to note about Ian Holloway’s boys is that they aren’t getting thumped. They are yet to concede more than two goals since their return to the top flight. We would therefore be advised to expect a home win by a narrow margin. 1-0 to Southampton is a best price 13/2 with Bet365 and that looks like good value.
