Liverpool vs Southampton Betting Tips: Liverpool to Win / Over 2.5 / BTTS
Liverpool heads back to Anfield aiming to keep their ambitions alive in four tournaments this season. Currently leading the Premier League and already securing a League Cup, the Reds are set to face Southampton for a spot in the FA Cup quarter finals.
Jurgen Klopp’s team has shown immense strength at Anfield this season, maintaining an unbeaten streak in their last 28 home matches in all competitions. The Reds haven’t experienced a home soil loss since last year’s 5:2 Champions League defeat by Real Madrid.
Recently, Liverpool has achieved consecutive wins in their last six home games, with a remarkable tally of 22 goals. However, they haven’t had many clean sheets, as both teams have scored (BTTS) in each of their last eight home matches.
Southampton, the championship visitors, arrive at Anfield on a losing streak, having lost three of their last four league games.
The visiting team has witnessed a significant number of goals in their recent matches, with both teams scoring (BTTS) and over 2.5 goals being scored in four out of their last five games. In their past 15 games, an average of 3.3 goals have been scored. Additionally, the Saints have only been unable to score in one out of their last 20 away games.
Considering the high number of goals both teams have scored this season, a high-scoring game is expected. I predict Liverpool to win, potentially scoring three to four or more goals.
Considering Liverpool’s shaky home record and the fact that at least three goals were scored in eight out of the last ten matches between these teams, we can anticipate another thrilling match on Wednesday.
I’m supporting a home victory with at least three goals, and I also predict that the Saints will secure the Home Win / Both Teams to Score selection.
