Prediction published on 04/05/2022, 23:33  by Indran in Premier League Predictions

Brentford plays host to Southampton at the Brentford Community Stadium in this Premiership encounter. The home team are in 14th position with 40 points while the visitors are on the same number of points but are one spot lower on goal difference. Brentford lost their last match 3-0 away to Manchester United which was their first defeat in five matches. They are unbeaten in their last three home matches. Brentford need another win to make certain that their first season in top flight football since 1947 is a successful one. They have not home won any of the previous five home matches against Southampton although the last meeting between the sides was in April 2011. Brentford could make it a memorable first season in the Premier League if they win their last three matches as they have an outside chance of finishing in the top half of the draw.

Southampton come into this match on the back of a disappointing 2-1 home defeat against Crystal Palace. It was their seventh loss in their last ten matches across all competitions while they have only won once during this period. Their away record is just as poor failing to win in any of their last five matches. Southampton are looking to complete the league double over Brentford for the first time since the 1954/55 season, following their 4-1 win in the reverse fixture. They have only one win in their last nine league matches and have dropped 26 points from winning positions this season which is more than any side in the league.
