Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction and Betting Tips - 28th December 2021

Southampton will invite Tottenham Hotspur to the St. Mary's Stadium on Tuesday for their last Premier League fixture of 2021.

Southampton's winless run in the Premier League had seen them drop to 15th place before yesterday's win against West Ham United. However, their 3-2 win against the Hammers has put them on the 14th spot.

Antonio Conte has seemingly got things under control with Spurs as the visiting side are unbeaten in their last six outings, recording four wins.

A comfortable 3-0 win over London rivals Crystal Palace on Sunday helped them move to the fifth place in the league standings.

With both clubs enjoying great results in their Boxing Day fixtures, they will be hoping to sign off for the year with a win.

Southampton vs Tottenham Hotspur Prediction

Southampton recorded an impressive win over West Ham United on Sunday. It is the first time they have found the back of the net three times in a Premier League fixture this season.

Tottenham Hotspur's 3-0 win over Crystal Palace helped them to their fourth clean sheet in their last six Premier League games.

There are no major injury or suspension concerns for either side ahead of this fixture. Alex McCarthy's absence will be felt by the hosts, who are without a clean sheet since their 1-0 win over Aston Villa in the first week of November.

The two sides played out a last goalless draw back in the 2000-01 campaign. So expect it to be a high-scoring game when they lock horns on Tuesday. Southampton have conceded seven goals at home so far but Tottenham's resurgence means a clean sheet is out of the question here.

We expect the game to be a high-scoring affair with Spurs taking home three points.

Prediction: Southampton 2-3 Tottenham Hotspur.
