Southampton vs Liverpool Prediction (18.12.2024)

After a 0:5 loss on Sunday to Tottenham, Southampton manager Russell Martin was fired. The youth team coach will temporarily lead the team. Southampton now faces a tough test in the cup, but they should rather think about their survival in the Premier League, which seems increasingly impossible after 13 losses in 16 matches.

Liverpool also made a mistake over the weekend, but it was much more forgivable after a 2:2 draw at home against Fulham, despite being down to ten men. Nevertheless, they are having a very strong season so far. Most likely, Arne Slot will make some rotations for the upcoming cup match, where Liverpool beat Brighton 3:2 away in the previous round.

It is normal to expect another loss for Southampton, but considering the expected rotations at Liverpool, I think the guests could also concede a goal, so this option seems tempting to me for the match.
