Liverpool vs Southampton Prediction
Liverpool are expected to dominate this clash given their incredible form and Southampton’s struggles. The Saints have conceded 64 goals this season, making them one of the worst defensive sides in the league. Meanwhile, the Reds have been ruthless in attack, with Mohamed Salah and Darwin Nunez proving to be a constant threat.
Considering Liverpool’s superiority, expect a comfortable 3-0 victory for the Reds. Southampton’s defensive frailties and lack of confidence make them unlikely to pose a significant challenge at Anfield.
