Southampton, Recent FormAn important point secured against Manchester United will have left Southampton quite happy with their 0-0 draw. They came away from that fixture with 53% of the possession and clocked up 18 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Manchester United managed 10 attempts on goal, with 4 on target.
Having conceded 6 goals and scored just 3 in their last 6 games, they have been very fortunate to pick up 7 points. Keeping a clean sheet at home has not come easy this season, and Rubén Sellés will not be happy with his team's defensive record, which shows they have shipped one or more goals in 11 their 17 home matches.
They've had a dismal run of form at St. Mary's Stadium recently, losing all but 1 of their last 6 home games, their solitary win providing little consolation. If they want to get anywhere this season, they'll need to do something very quickly to fix their home form, having lost 7 of the first 12 league games at St. Mary's Stadium.
Brentford, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Brentford players having failed to take any points away from their recent 1-0 away defeat at the hands of Everton. In that game they had 67% possession and managed 12 attempts on goal, with 4 on target, compared to Everton who had 13 attempts and 6 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 8 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 5 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. Away goals have been high on their agenda recently, having scored in 4 of their last 6 away league games.
Brentford will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 6 draws in 12 away league games.
The Brentford travelling support have had something to shout about on the road via the goals from Ivan Toney, who's scored 4 goals in their last 6 league matches away from home.
The last time these two teams met Brentford enforced their superiority over Southampton with a comfortable 3-0 win.
In their previous 3 encounters with The Bees, Southampton have shipped at least one goal in those matches. Ahead of this match, Southampton won't like the look of their goal stats, having failed to secure a goal in their last 2 meetings against The Bees.
Southampton has lost the last 2 times they've faced Brentford in the league.
Southampton manager Rubén Sellés has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Carlos Alcaraz (Knee), Juan Larios (Muscle), Tino Livramento (Cruciate ligament) and Mohamed Salisu (Knock) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Keane Lewis-Potter (Knee) and Thomas Strakosha (Ankle) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Thomas Frank will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
