In one of the matches of the English Championship, the players of Southampton and Burnley will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Southampton
In the last championship, the Saints were pleased not only with the results, but also with meaningful football. The start of a new Premier League tournament is not pleasing anyone yet. Only in the last round the home team was able to get the first victory. The hosts were able to break the resistance of Leeds (1-0). In total, Southampton have 1 victory and 4 peaceful results, which brought the hosts 7 points. The weak link of the team was and remains the line of attack, which at the moment has distinguished itself only 6 times.
Burnley
Burnley set themselves the task of getting ten wins for the tournament, which was enough last season to keep their registration in the English championship. Interestingly, the start of the new championship did not work out at all for the "maroon". For 8 matches played, the team has painted three world matches, and has never won. Now Burnley is in 18th place, in the relegation zone. Following two peaceful outcomes with Leicester and Norwich, the Maroon failed to cope with Manchester City on a visit, losing to the opponent with a score of 0:2.

- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 3:2 in favor of Southampton;
- The opponents won 2 meetings in 5 previous matches.
Forecast
The hosts will enter the field as concentrated as possible, because this meeting will help them improve their standings in case of victory over their opponent. I think Burnley simply have no chance. A guest game will not bring "burgundy" positive emotions.
