Two of the Premier League’s relegated teams meet at St Mary’s tonight with both vying to move to the top of the table.
Southampton were caught cold against Sunderland last time out to end their unbeaten start to the season, eventually going down 5-0 in a game that they had 68% possession of the ball.
Opponents Leicester’s unbeaten start was also ended in their last game when they were surprising beaten by Hull at home. The Foxes had 21 shots on goal but failed to score, unsurprising when only one of those was on target.
They’ve only scored seven in their first five games so that could be a problem for Enzo Maresca’s men.
It looks a really close game to call so might be better looking to other markets.
Southampton have been the most ill-disciplined side to date, average 4.20 yellow cards per game and a total of 11 in their two home matches so far, seven coming in an incident packed 4-4 draw with Norwich. They’re 4/5 to pick up three or more cards tonight.
Both sides like a corner too. Southampton lead the chart with an average of 8 per game, hitting 10-12-4-8 in their last four. Leicester are on 6.2.
Combining Over 1.5 Saints Cards with Over 5.5 Saints corners pays 11/10
Friday night’s live game on BBC Scotland is from Somerset Park where Ayr United welcome Partick Thistle.
Ayr have been struggling with injuries lately. They’ve lost their last four and slipped down to second bottom in the table.
Thistle on the other hand are still within touching distance of the top. They’re the Championship’s top scorers and goals have been raining in in their games this season. Nine of their 10 matches have seen BTTS and nine have also gone Over 2.5.
It’s 4/5 that we see three or more in Ayrshire tonight, whilst it’s even more on the Jags to net two or more.
With Brian Graham still banging them in at 35-years-old the latter looks a sound bet.
