- 东道主在过去的五场比赛中输掉了四场
- 圣徒队已经连续六场主场比赛得分
- 托特纳姆在15场英超比赛中保持了三场零失球
周日’;这场比赛是马刺队的早期礼物
英超联赛’;繁忙的圣诞节日程即将到来,但这次相遇看起来像是托特纳姆热刺队和昂热·波斯特科格鲁队的早期礼物。自从以4比0战胜曼城以来,客队已经四连胜,这一结果似乎越来越不是他们自己造成的。
上周日,马刺队在主场以2比0领先切尔西队,以4比3失利,周中他们与流浪者队以1比1战平。然而,人们普遍预计客队将在对阵圣徒队的比赛中反弹,圣徒队在英超联赛的前15场比赛中输掉了12场。
毫不妥协的马丁让圣徒队变得脆弱
它’;说拉塞尔·马丁遵循文森特·孔帕尼的剧本可能很严厉,但他的教条式方法肯定不是;我帮不了南安普顿。圣徒队继续在控球方面冒险,即使在过去五场比赛中输掉了四场之后。这场比赛包括2比0输给苦苦挣扎的狼队,以及在主场3比2和5比1输给利物浦和切尔西。
马丁’;她的球队至少在主场取得了进球,在圣玛丽的最后六场比赛中都取得了进球;s.他们可以有信心延长这场比赛,因为他们遇到了一支冒着类似风险的托特纳姆热刺队。
Postecoglou;本赛季,中国队在英超联赛的15场比赛中只保持了3场零失球。他们在过去的11场比赛中唯一一场零失球是在曼城,但冠军队当天也有很多好机会。
马刺队可以避免常见的失误
在那里’;人们担心托特纳姆热刺队会在这样的比赛中回到他们最糟糕的状态,南安普顿队的表现应该能抵消这一点。即使他们;他们一直处于最佳状态;我设法从胜利的边缘抓住失败,就像输给利物浦一样。
托特纳姆热刺队也可以期待德扬·库卢塞夫斯基的强劲表现,他本赛季是他们最好的球员。这位瑞典人在过去的两场比赛中都进球了,在他为俱乐部和国家队出场的最后八场比赛中,除了一场之外,他都有一次射门。他可以带领马刺队在联赛中取得胜利;底部,与圣徒;糟糕的防守和频繁的失误可能会再次让他们付出代价。
预言:
托特纳姆热刺队和两队得分
托特纳姆热刺3-1
Dejan Kulusevski随时得分
外文原文如下:
- Southampton have lost 12 of 15 league games this term
- The hosts have lost four of their last five matches
- The Saints have scored in six consecutive home matches
- Tottenham have kept three clean sheets in their 15 Premier League matches
Sunday’s clash is an early gift for Spurs
The Premier League’s hectic Christmas schedule is almost upon us, but this encounter looks like an early present for Tottenham and Ange Postecoglou. The visitors are winless in four since a 4-0 victory at Manchester City, a result which looks less and less of their own making with each passing week.
Spurs blew a 2-0 lead at home to Chelsea in a 4-3 loss last Sunday and they drew 1-1 with Rangers in midweek. However, the visitors are widely expected to bounce back against a Saints side who have lost 12 of their first 15 matches back in the Premier League.
Uncompromising Martin leaves Saints vulnerable
It’s probably harsh to say Russell Martin is following the Vincent Kompany playbook, but his dogmatic approach certainly isn’t helping Southampton. The Saints continue to take risks in possession, even after losing four of their last five games. That run includes a 2-0 loss at struggling Wolves, along with 3-2 and 5-1 defeats to Liverpool and Chelsea at home.
Martin’s side are at least getting on the scoresheet at home, netting in each of their last six at St Mary’s. They can be confident about extending that run, as they meet a Tottenham side that takes similar risks.
Postecoglou’s team have kept only three clean sheets in 15 matches in the Premier League this term. Their only clean sheet in their last 11 came at City, but the champions had plenty of good chances that day too.
Spurs can avoid familiar failings
While there’s a fear that Tottenham will return to their Spursy worst in a fixture like this, the level Southampton have been performing at should counteract that. Even when they’ve been at their best they’ve managed to grab defeat from the jaws of victory, as seen in the loss to Liverpool.
Tottenham can also expect a strong display from Dejan Kulusevski, who has been their best player by some distance this term. The Swede has scored in his last two games and he has had a shot on target in all but one of his last eight appearances for club and country. He can drive Spurs to victory at the league’s bottom side, with the Saints’ poor defence and frequent errors likely to cost them again.
Predictions:Tottenham Hotspur and Both Teams To Score
Tottenham Hotspur 3-1
Dejan Kulusevski To Score Anytime
