Southampton, Recent FormSouthampton will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 1-0 winners in their home fixture against Bristol City. In that game they had 67% possession and managed 14 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Bristol City who had 8 attempts and 1 on target.
Manager Russell Martin will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 10 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 5 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, overall they've scored in 16 of their 18 games this season.
Their strong run of form, both away and at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 10 games in a row.
On an individual basis, Adam Armstrong will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 10 goals in Southampton's 18 league games this season.
Cardiff City, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Cardiff City players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 home defeat at the hands of West Bromwich Albion. They achieved 44% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 1 hitting the target, up against West Bromwich Albion's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
When it comes to attacking power Erol Bulut will be justly satisfied with his squad's performances of late, which has seen them chalk up 10 goals in their last 6 matches. However, it hasn't all been going well, and questions remain about their defence with 5 goals lost in those 6 matches resulting in some crucial points dropped. They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games.
With 3 goals scored in his last 6 away games for Cardiff City, Aaron Ramsey will be looking to add more goals against Southampton in this match.
When these two teams last met in the league it was a 1-2 win for Cardiff City.
The Bluebirds have found the back of the net in each of their previous 3 league matches away from home to Southampton.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Cardiff has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Southampton in 3 games.
With only Juan Larios (Unknown) and Jack Stephens (Calf) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Russell Martin will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
With only Callum O'Dowda (Leg) and Aaron Ramsey (Knee) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Erol Bulut will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
