Tottenham Hotspur vs. Southampton FC
This coming Wednesday we can expect an exciting match from the Premier League. Tottenham Hotspur welcome Southampton FC on 09.02.. Tottenham has a very good squad, which normally could easily play in the Champions League. However, the Londoners are currently only in seventh place, but are only two points behind Manchester United, who are currently in fourth place.
In contrast, the Saints find themselves in mid-table. The team of coach Ralph Hasenhüttl currently occupies twelfth place in the table and has earned a solid 25 points this season. We are curious to see which of the two teams will make a leap up the table next Wednesday. But Tottenham certainly have the edge individually.

Tottenham Form & Balance Check
Tottenham Hotspurs won their last match in the FA Cup 3-1 against Brighton & Holve Albion, so we expect them to be in good shape. The Londoners strengthened themselves in the winter break with two players from Juventus Torino. The management of the Londoners signed the Swede Kulusevski, who is a young talented winger.
In central midfield, they brought in 24-year-old Bentancur, who should add balance to Spurs’ game. They have always conceded at least one goal in their last six inter-competitive games, so we expect them to concede against Southampton as well.
Kane and Son in scoring mood
Kane and Son are once again ice cold in front of the opposing goalkeeper. The two guarantors of success for the Londoners scored a combined 13 goals and are difficult to count out. Kane shines more through his excellent understanding of the game and the fact that he always sees the better-positioned teammate. Son, on the other hand, is strong on the dribble and has a first-class long-range shot. We suspect that these two world-class players will make the difference in the upcoming match.
Tottenham Facts & Analysis
– They are currently seventh in the table.
– Son is top scorer with eight goals
– They lost their last league game 2-0 to Chelsea
Southampton form & balance check
Southampton FC are winless in two Premier League games, but grabbed a creditable draw against overmatched Manchester City in their last outing. The Saints then progressed to the next round of the FA Cup with a narrow 2-1 win over Coventry City. As they are on the rise, we expect them to do well against Spurs. Nevertheless, coach Antonio Conte’s team possess the better individual players, which is why we suspect Southampton will travel home without points.
Very vulnerable defence
Southampton FC have picked up an incredible 25 points this season, but have conceded 34 goals. In comparison, the last team in the table, Burnley FC, conceded just 27 goals. With Spurs boasting an excellent attack with Kane, Son and co, we believe Southampton will concede a goal or two.
Southampton facts & analysis
– They are currently in twelfth place in the table.
– Southampton have not won either of their last two league games
– Ward-Prose is their top scorer with six goals
Predicted line-up – last update on 8 Feb 2022
We expect Tottenham to start with a similar starting line-up as against Chelsea FC in their last league match. Spurs will most likely start in the compact 4-4-2 system again. We think that the two ex-Juventus players will be substituted during the match, as they were last time.
As Southampton FC played excellent against Manchester City in their last Premier League match, we think they will play with the same starting line-up against Tottenham. They currently operate in a 4-4-2 formation like their upcoming opponents.
