Southampton vs Crystal Palace: Betting on total over

Southampton will face Crystal Palace at home. This encounter will be part of round 35 of the English Premier League. Will there be more goals in a third successive encounter?

After a 1:0 home win over Arsenal, Southampton did not play their best in their next two games in the English league. First, the team failed to compete away against Burnley and suffered a 0:2 defeat. Then, there was a difficult match against Brighton. The teams scored two goals each and were unable to decide the winner. The Saints are 13th in the English Premier League table with 40 points.

After beating Arsenal 3:0, Crystal Palace scored just one point in their next three games in the English league. They lost away to Leicester City (1:2) and Newcastle United (0:1), while they drew with Leeds United at home. In the last game, the teams were not satisfied with productive action. In the interval, the Eagles lost 0:2 to Chelsea and were eliminated from the FA Cup semi-final stage. With 38 points, Crystal Palace sits just behind the Saints in 14th place in the EPL table.

The encounter is expected to be very interesting. Both teams have performed poorly in recent tournament matches, so they will be motivated to get better. For this reason, we suggest betting on a significant number of goals. We reckon that the series with the total over will last for the third individual meeting in a row. We don't rule out that the teams will exchange goals as early as the first half. We might also consider a high number of corners.
