The situation at Southampton remains very poor and the team is heading back to the Championship. Firmly at the bottom of the Premier League, the recent change in coaching has not brought any improvement so far. The new coach, Ivan Juric, has lost all three of his matches in charge, with the latest being a 0-5 defeat at home to Brentford.
Swansea is in the middle of the table in the Championship, where last season they lost both matches against Southampton with a total goal difference of 1-8. Naturally, they will try to avoid this in their current visit and take advantage of the crisis at the opponent. Swansea lost 0-4 to Portsmouth in their last away game in the league and generally struggles to secure victories on the road.
Prediction: win for SouthamptonDespite Southampton's current situation, I will choose a win for the team here, and surely the new coach is eager to achieve his first success, even if it is in this tournament and against a team from a lower level, where Southampton may play next season.
