On Saturday, 6 games in the English Premier League are going to be played and one of the matches will be between Ipswich and Southampton. After 23 games, Ipswich has 3 wins, 7 draws, 13 losses, a total of 16 points and 29th place while Southampton has 1 win, 3 draws, 19 losses, a total of 6 points and 20th place. In this game, I predict that Southampton won't lose.
At the end of 2024, Ipswich got their 1st win of the season by beating Chelsea at home 2:0 but the opponents had a much better xG rating. It was followed by a 2:2 draw against Fulham and again - the opponents had a better xG rating. In the last 3 games, Ipswich has got 3 losses, the team has scored only 1 goal and conceded 12. At home, Ipswich has the 2nd-worst record with 1 win and 4 draws in 12 games, with a total of 8 goals scored and 24 conceded. The team has generated an xG of 10.8 at home, xGA is at 21.5 with a difference of -10.7.
Southampton is the worst team in the league but their performance has improved. The team has scored in each of the last 3 games and at one point, they were leading against Manchester United and Newcastle. Southampton managed to score 2 times against Nottingham Forest and it shows that the team is on the right track. On the road, Southampton has 2 draws in 12 games, a total of 8 goals scored and 23 conceded. The team has generated an xG of 10.1 on the road, xGA is at 23.2 with a difference of -13.2.
I'm backing Southampton. They have a new manager who has improved the team's performance in recent weeks. While not getting a single point, all of their opponents were very good. Ipswich is the 2nd-worst team in the league, and this is a perfect time for Southampton to grab some points. Their 1st meeting ended with a 1:1 draw but Southampton had a much better xG,
该文章通过有道机器翻译，仅供参考:周六，英超将有6场比赛，其中一场是伊普斯维奇和南安普顿之间的比赛。23场比赛后，伊普斯维奇3胜7平13负，共积16分，排名第29位；南安普顿1胜3平19负，共积6分，排名第20位。在这场比赛中，我预测南安普顿不会输。
2024年底，伊普斯维奇在主场2:0击败切尔西，获得了本赛季的第一场胜利，但对手的xG评级要高得多。接下来是2:2战平富勒姆，对手的xG值也更高。在最近的3场比赛中，伊普斯维奇3次失利，球队只进了1球，丢了12球。在主场，伊普斯维奇在12场比赛中以1胜4平的战绩排名倒数第二，进8球失24球。球队在主场的xG值为10.8，xGA值为21.5，两者相差-10.7。
南安普顿是联赛中最差的球队，但他们的表现有所改善。这支球队在最近3场比赛中都有进球，在对阵曼联和纽卡斯尔的比赛中一度领先。南安普顿在对阵诺丁汉森林的比赛中打进2球，这表明球队正走在正确的道路上。客场，南安普顿12场2平，进8球丢23球。球队在客场的xG值为10.1，xGA值为23.2，差值为-13.2。
我支持南安普顿。他们有了一位新经理，最近几周他提高了球队的表现。虽然没有得到一分，但他们的对手都很出色。伊普斯维奇是联赛倒数第二的球队，这是南安普顿夺取积分的绝佳时机。他们的第一次交锋以1:1结束，但南安普顿的xG要好得多。
