Ralph Hasenhuttl cut a delighted figure after his Southampton team enjoyed a 1-0 win over Leeds United last weekend, with the Saints finally getting three points on the board. The fact that they were able to do this without the suspended James Ward-Prowse was a bonus and the England midfielder should return to the fray for this encounter.
Armando Broja proved to be the match winner and the Chelsea loan signing is enjoying himself at St Mary’s, with the Albanian having now scored six goals and perhaps he will once again prove to be the match winner. It looks certain that the Saints can keep things tight after denying Leeds a shot on target in their previous game.
Burnley will arrive in a defensive mood of their own, with the Clarets having taken just three points from eight games played. They failed to find the net recently against the porous defence of Norwich City and then struggled to see much of the ball at Manchester City.
It’s abundantly clear that the visitors are struggling when it comes to scoring goals and it’s therefore the obvious play to go for the Under 2.5 Goals count which includes a myriad of scorelines including the goalless draw and a 1-0 and 2-0 win for the Saints.
