Match Stats

Southampton:

The Saints have struggled in the early stages of the 2024-25 Premier League season, failing to earn a point from their first three matches. Recent defeats to Newcastle United, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford have left them rooted to the bottom of the table. The most recent loss, a 3-1 defeat to Brentford, saw Bryan Mbeumo score twice and Yoane Wissa add another, with Yukinari Sugawara providing a late consolation for Southampton. Manager Russell Martin, who led the club to promotion last season, is under significant pressure to deliver results. Southampton are keen to avoid becoming the first Premier League team to lose their opening four matches in three different campaigns and will need to improve their record against Manchester United, having gone 14 games without a win against the Red Devils since January 2016.


Manchester United:

Manchester United will be looking to bounce back from a series of disappointing results as they travel to St Mary’s. The Red Devils have endured a rocky start to the season, with only one win in their first three league games, including a narrow 1-0 victory over Fulham, a 2-1 defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, and a 3-0 loss to Liverpool. Despite the mounting pressure on manager Erik ten Hag, he remains confident that the team’s performance should be judged later in the season. United have a strong record against newly-promoted sides, losing just one of their last 30 Premier League encounters with such teams. However, their away form has been inconsistent, with only one win in their last six league matches on the road. The Red Devils are unbeaten in their last 12 Premier League visits to Southampton, and they will be keen to maintain this record and reignite their campaign with a crucial win.


Prediction:  1-2
