Liverpool F.C. vs Southampton F.C. Prediction 28 February 2024

Prior to the match, Liverpool won the League Cup, beating Chelsea 1:0 in extra time. In addition, the Reds lead the Premier League standings, and in the FA Cup they were stronger than Arsenal (2:0) and Norwich (5:2). All this against the backdrop of a terrible epidemic of injuries, which is why the Merseysiders are forced to play with a semi-reserve squad.

Over the past couple of weeks, Southampton have suffered three fiascoes against Bristol City (1:3), Hull (1:2) and Millwall (1:2), meanwhile beating West Bromwich 2:0. In the Championship, the Saints were in fourth position, while in the Cup they successfully passed the hurdles of Chesterfield (2:1) and Watford (1:1, 3:0).

We wouldn’t be surprised if Southampton really surprise Liverpool, for whom success in this confrontation is unlikely to come with minimal effort. In the best-case scenario, the Reds will win with a minimal lead.
