Liverpool vs Southampton Betting Predictions

Even the most formidable teams require a bit of luck once in a while.

On the whole, Liverpool could've easily lost 3-0 to Paris Saint-Germain on a midweek match. Instead, they ended up winning 1-0.

Alisson Becker may have put on the performance of his career so far in goal, but Liverpool had Lady Luck on their side too, not just their goalkeeper. PSG, for their part, felt they deserved more.

Liverpool struggled to control the ball and take shots against PSG at the Parc des Princes. It's safe to assume that Southampton, at Anfield this weekend, won't have an easy time doing so.

Liverpool tops the Premier League; Southampton is at the bottom. Liverpool has the highest number of goals; Southampton has the lowest. Liverpool has the division's second-best defensive record; Southampton has the worst. It's hard to say who's been better this season — Liverpool or Southampton has been worse.

The bookies are backing Southampton's chances of winning at 20/1. A away win on Saturday would go down as one of the biggest Premier League shocks, up there with Chelsea 0-3 Sunderland (2010), Manchester United 2-3 Blackburn Rovers (2011), and Norwich City 3-2 Manchester City (2019).

If you're hoping to make a case for an upset, you'd point out that Liverpool's title battle continues with the second leg against PSG and the EFL Cup final against Newcastle United next week.

Arne Slot might rest some players with those games in mind, while the manager himself is suspended after receiving a red card in the Merseyside derby against Everton.

Still, it's difficult to find any reason for optimism with a Southampton side that seems set for relegation to the Championship. The only thing they're still fighting for is to avoid the worst team record in Premier League history, bettering Derby County's record low points tally of 11 (Southampton is currently on nine). Liverpool shouldn't face many problems this weekend.

Betting Tips for Liverpool vs Southampton

Liverpool hosts Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday—could this be a foregone conclusion?

Liverpool -2.5 Asian handicap

It's tempting to predict a rout when the league leaders host the bottom-placed team, but it's best to proceed with caution.

While it's hard to imagine how Southampton can shut down one of the best teams in Europe at their home ground, Liverpool might not play at full strength with the title chase.

If the Reds ease off and conserve energy once they've secured the three points, they may not perform as effectively as usual.

Back a three-goal victory rather than a larger one.

Over 3.5 cards

Southampton might not play as strategically under new manager Ivan Juric. They are more aggressive these days, and frustration is likely to build as the game progresses if they struggle to score.

With this in mind, a bet on over 3.5 cards represents good value.

Darwin Nunez to Score Anytime

Darwin Nunez was instrumental in Liverpool's winning goal against PSG, setting up Harvey Elliott for the finish. Although he hasn't lived up to expectations at Liverpool, he could get some playing time against Southampton to prove himself.
