Southampton Crystal Palace betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most likely scenario for this match will be the existence of some goals. In this match it’s expectable that Southampton will have more initiative in the game; however, Crystal Palace will risk a lot in the counterattack to take advantage of the space on the back of the opponent. Thus, we believe that this will be a good match and with a few goals on the scoreboard.

Preview
Southampton and Crystal Palace meet at St. Mary's Stadium, in a match for this stage of the FA Cup (3rd Round).

Crystal Palace registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Southampton

The home team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of using the home advantage to get a positive result. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got an away loss against Norwich City by (1‑0). In the last 10 home matches Southampton has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1.

Southampton comes unmotivated to this match after the negative results recorded in official matches, seven losses in the last ten matches. In this match the coach Ronald Koeman will choose the usual 4-2-3-1, with Long as one of the forwards of the home team. In the absence of the best scorer Graziano Pellè, the Irish Shane Long has played with class the forward attack, with seven goals scored. It’s also important to note that Cédric Soares, Jay Rodriguez, Forster and Gardos remain absents by injury. 

Confirmed Lineup: Maarten Stekelenburg, Cuco Martina, Matt Targett, Virgil van Dijk , Maya Yoshida, José Fonte, Steven Davis, Oriol Romeu, Jordy Clasie, Shane Long, Sadio Mané.
Coach: R. Hasenhüttl.

Analysis Crystal Palace

The team plays its first match in this edition of the FA Cup with the intention of getting a positive away result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 23 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 19 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home loss against Chelsea by (0‑3). In the last 10 away matches Crystal Palace has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 11 away matches for all competitions there are 2 periods that stand out: they have scored 6 of their 12 goals between minutes (76'‑90'); they have conceded 5 of their 12 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Crystal Palace comes for this match after a heavy defeat at home against Chelsea; however, this was one of two defeats recorded in the last ten matches. In this match it’s foreseeable that the coach Alan Pardew will opt for a strategy based on the counterattack, not only to take advantage from the defensive opponent's weaknesses, but also by presenting high quality in this type of transition. Puncheon and Zaha are very fast and excellents in ball transport to the attack. Wickham, Bolasie and Appiah are still absents by injury. 

Confirmed Lineup: Wayne Hennessey, Joel Ward, Pape Souaré, Scott Dann, Damien Delaney, Joe Ledley, Jordon Mutch, Yohan Cabaye, Wilfried Zaha, Fraizer Campbell.
Coach: J. Puncheon, O. Glasner.
