Southampton vs Coventry Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in 10 of Southampton’s last 11 matches
• Coventry have scored 26 times in their 11 away games so far
• The Saints have scored three goals in each of their last four at home

Key test for Eckert

Southampton suffered only their second defeat under Tonda Eckhart in last weekend’s 2-1 loss at Norwich. Now the Saints test themselves against table-topping Coventry, who just returned to winning ways.

The Sky Blues recovered from a mini-blip to beat Bristol City 1-0, but that was far from a back-to-basics display. Coventry won the xG battle 2.1 to 1.4.

Southampton have scored 22 times over their last eight games, but they’ve kept only one clean sheet in that stretch. Forward Adam Armstrong is impressing at this level once more, netting 11 goals this term, including five strikes in his last four games.

Coventry have scored 26 goals across their 11 away trips, while over 2.5 goals has landed in 10 of Southampton’s last 11 matches. Another high-scoring clash is on the cards, with the Saints scoring three times in each of their last four at home.
