Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th March 2023
Tottenham Hotspur visit bottom side Southampton at the Saint Mary's Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday, looking to build on their latest win.
Spurs recovered from their 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers with a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest last weekend.
A first-half brace from Harry Kane coupled with a goal from Son Heung-min after the break, had the Lilywhites three up before Joe Worrall pulled a consolation goal back for the Tricky Trees.
With 48 points from 27 games, Tottenham are currently in fourth position in the Premier League standings, although Newcastle United, who trail them by four points, have two games in hand over them.
Southampton, meanwhile, are down in 20th with just 22 points in the bag and six wins, the last of which was a 1-0 win over Leicester City on 4 March 2023.
The Saints have already seen two managerial changes too, with Ralph Hasenhüttl getting the sack in November and his replacement, Nathan Jones, lasting just three months.
Spanish coach Ruben Selles is currently in charge and has seen just one win in five games. Time's running out for him to change the club's fortunes as Southampton have only 11 games to save themselves from a first relegation in 11 years.
