Southampton vs Brentford Premier League 2022 match prediction, preview, facts, injuries, suspensions and how to watch.Southampton may benefit from the first postponement of this match because they are in better form than they were when it was originally planned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Saints’ only Premier League (PL) win before the November international break came on Boxing Day (W1, D4, L3), however they are unbeaten in their last three league games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only the top three teams and Southampton have lost one or no Premier League home games this season, however they have a league-high six draws, which they need to improve on (W3, D6, L1).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Five of the six draws, though, occurred after Southampton had taken the lead, contributing to their solid but frustrating full-time record (W2, D5) after leading at some point in home Premier League games.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brentford come into this match having won back-to-back competitive games for the first time since September, continuing to exceed expectations as Premier League debutants.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With a win, the visitors might move into the top half of the table, and they may appreciate the opportunity to play another bottom-half team after winning their last two meetings with them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite scoring an average of 1.2 goals per game during that time, the ‘Bees’ have failed to win a Premier League away game in five attempts (D3, L2).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Last season’s journey south of London brought back great memories for them, as they won 2-0 in the EFL Cup at St Mary’s and are unbeaten in four head-to-head meetings in Southampton (W2, D2).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Players to Watch<\/p>\n
Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse stopped a run of 11 Premier League goals from penalties or free kicks by scoring with a first-time shot in his previous league outing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bryan Mbeumo recently announced his comeback from injury with a first-career hat-trick, stealing the show in Brentford’s FA Cup victory over Port Vale over the weekend.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hot Stat<\/p>\n
Brentford has the most game-winning goals in the final ten minutes of any Premier League team (three).\u00a0<\/p>\n

(Southampton players celebrating a goal)<\/p>\n
Following his suspension, Mohammed Salisu returns, but Yan Valery is placed on the naughty step after his red card against Swansea on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ralph Hasenhuttl has a selection problem at right-back, with Valery joining Kyle Walker-Peters and Valentino Livramento on the sidelines, so James Ward-Prowse may be forced to play in defence against Brentford.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Che Adams has recovered from COVID-19, but Southampton will be without Walker-Peters and Thierry Small until the middle of the week.<\/p>\n
Brentford\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
(Brentford FA cup match) <\/p>\n
Sergi Canos and Mathias Jensen will both return to the matchday squad for Tuesday’s trip to Southampton, according to Thomas Frank. Rico Henry’s weekend appearance is even in doubt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Injury has ruled out Zanka, Charlie Goode, David Raya, Josh Dasilva, and Julian Jeanvier, while Frank Onyeka is with the Nigerian squad at AFCON.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Although Kristoffer Ajer has returned to full fitness, Mads Bech Sorensen has shone in defense and could keep his starting spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zanka has returned to training, but this game is too soon for him to play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Match Facts<\/p>\n
Southampton has drawn its last three home games (Premier League).\u00a0<\/p>\n
In eight of Southampton’s previous ten home games, there have been fewer than 2.5 goals scored (Premier League).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brentford has given up at least two goals in each of their previous five away games (Premier League).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Under 2.5 goals have been scored in each of Southampton’s last three home matches against Brentford in all competitions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brentford have lost their previous five road games (Premier League).\u00a0<\/p>\n
Prediction\u00a0<\/p>\n
Despite playing with ten men for the whole of the game against Swansea in the FA Cup on Saturday, Southampton held their composure to move to the fourth round of the competition. With the win, they have now gone four games without losing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brentford won their second game in a row with a 4-1 victory against Port Vale, and they’ll seek to keep their winning streak going in 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However, the Bees haven’t won in the Premier League away from home since October.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This season, the Saints have a reputation for being reliable at home.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They’ve drawn six of their last nine league games at St. Mary’s, and this one could be no different.<\/p>\n
