Southampton v Arsenal Betting Tips [26 January 2021]

After ending Arsenal’s FA Cup dreams over the weekend, Southampton will look to pile up more misery on the Gunners when they play in the Premier League at St. Mary’s. Southampton are 9th in the standings with 29 points from 18 matches and are four points behind the top-five sides. Arsenal are 10th with 27 points from 19 matches. Both teams could start this round a place down considering Aston Villa on 26 points play on Saturday night.

A 1-0 win over Arsenal in the FA Cup was an apt result for the impressive Southampton side but their recent league form needs improvement. The Saints have won just once in their last six Premier League matches, drawing three and losing two. Each of those matches produced under 2.5 goals, so a low-scoring match is a high possibility here as well. Impressively, Southampton have won five of their last eight Premier League home matches – each coming with a clean sheet.

Arsenal come into this match after that FA Cup loss, but with good memories of Premier League action. The Gunners have won 3-0 against Newcastle United in their last match and have won four out of their last five outings. With the side still one of the best defensively, Arsenal will only hope that they can convert those big scoring chances. On the road, they have won two out of two, each time with a clean sheet. Either way, five of their last seven away league games have followed the trend of under 2.5 goals.
