Southampton vs Tottenham: The Key Insights

• The Opta supercomputer is backing Tottenham to pick up a much-needed victory, with Spurs winning 52.3% of pre-match simulations.
• Dejan Kulusevski could make his 100th Premier League appearance in this match, with his first also coming against Southampton back in February 2022. He has 21 assists in the league, with only Son Heung-min providing more for Spurs since his debut (24).
• Southampton have scored in each of their last 15 Premier League games against Tottenham, their longest scoring streak against an opponent in the competition’s history.

Tottenham will look to hit back from a very disappointing week when they head to St. Mary’s on Sunday to take on struggling Southampton in the Premier League.

Last Sunday, Tottenham let a 2-0 lead slip on their way to being defeated 4-3 by Chelsea at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with much of the post-match discourse centring on under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou and his tactics.

Then on Thursday in the Europa League, Dejan Kulusevski rescued a scarcely deserved point for Spurs as they drew 1-1 with Rangers.

Their defeat against Chelsea in the Premier League leaves Spurs heading into this weekend’s game in 11th, already seven points off the top four after a run of just one win in eight outings in all competitions.

In their first 11 Premier League games this season, Tottenham faced an average of just 9.6 shots and 3.4 shots on target per game. In their last four, they’ve faced 18.8 shots and 6.8 shots on target per game.

Their defensive frailties have seen them lose 14 of their 33 Premier League games in 2024, just one fewer than they did in 42 games in 2023. They last lost 15+ league games in consecutive calendar years in 2002 (15), 2003 (20) and 2004 (15).
