The Cardiff City players will be feeling somewhat disenchanted with their inability to pick up any points from their away fixture against Millwall recently, that ended in a 3-1 defeat.  They came away from that fixture with 63% of the possession and clocked up 7 attempts on goal with 4 on target. By comparison, Millwall managed 15 attempts on goal, with 7 on target.  

Erol Bulut will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 5 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 11 goals and, as a result, lost some important points.  They have failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.  

Losing 4 of their last 6 outings will not be looked on kindly by their manager; however, they did salvage some valuable points by winning the other 2 games.

In their previous league fixture, Southampton managed a remarkable 3-0 home win against Preston North End.  In that game they recorded 77 % of the possession, with 23 attempts on goal, 6 on target. Their opponents found the target on 1 of their 1 shots on goal.  

Manager Russell Martin will be reasonably pleased with his team's attacking displays in recent matches, having managed to score 11 goals in their last 6 games, but he will have work to do defensively after they conceded 7 goals in those games and dropped some valuable points along the way.   They've kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 6 away games, and they've scored in 39 of their 42 games overall this season.  

They've shown some decent form of late, being unbeaten in 5 of their last 6 matches, with 3 of the 5 being victories for good measure.  

Goalscorer Ché Adams will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 5 goals in his last 6 league matches for Southampton.
