Brentford should get the easy win here to keep Southampton scrambling for points to survive relegation. Toney, Mbeumo, and Mikkel Damsgaard will start for the Bees with Vitaly Janelt, Christian Norgaard, and Mathias Jensen taking midfield roles. As a team, the Bees make 10.5 total shots, 4.4 corners, and 1.6 goals per game despite a 44.1% ball possession rate. Since the turn of the year, the Bees had just two defeats in all competitions – their second game in 2023 which resulted to an FA Cup exit from West Ham United, as well as a 1-0 defeat last timeout against Everton. The Bees are currently in ninth place in England’s top flight, scoring 40 goals and conceding 33. The Bees are also perfect in their penalty kicks, going 6-for-6 this season. Juan Larios and Valentino Libramento are absent in this game, while Ainsley Maitland-Niles appears to be in doubt. Che Adams has four goals and three assists for the team while Romain Perraud has four goal involvements for the team. The former Soton youth product leads the team with six goals and two assists, and he gets most of his goals by the way of free kicks. Only five points separate them from 12th-placed Crystal Palace, so Southampton will be determined to get the three points here. However, this season will not be any different, as they occupy the bottom spot with 12 games to go. The relegation battle in England still remains intense, as 12th-placed Crystal Palace just has a five-point advantage against Southampton.
