Southampton
Game Prediction
In England, a new round of the local cup begins on Tuesday – incidentally, it's the oldest club tournament in the world overall. The majority of matches will take place on Wednesday. At that time, Liverpool will host Southampton at Anfield. What can we expect from the ambitious but currently Championship-dwelling team? An individual prediction and preview for the match on February 28, 2024, has been provided for the website's audience.
Liverpool aims to win as much as possible this season
The Reds are already planning a high-profile farewell for Klopp. He has earned it through years of excellent work at Anfield, and he's leaving on a high note. They took a significant step towards this last Sunday when they visited Wembley to clash with Chelsea for the League Cup. In the final, Kelleher was the hero for a long time. However, van Dijk scored in the very end of extra time. There will be more opportunities for Jurgen to lift trophies: Liverpool is leading in the Premier League since winter (they thrashed Luton 4-1 in the last round), and they are favorites in the Europa League. However, they eliminated Arsenal from the cup, and then crushed Norwich 5-2. Is there any reason to stop now?
Southampton is more focused on returning to the Premier League
The Saints weren't supposed to be relegated from the top division. However, the new owner, Dragan Solak, either overdid it or overcomplicated things, and as a result, the unique team found itself in the Championship. Their task there is obvious: despite the forced sale of several key players last summer, they aim to return to the Premier League. Under Russell Martin's guidance, the team is not perfect, but they are making progress towards their goal, despite plenty of competition. They suffered a defeat against Millwall in the last round, which was their second consecutive loss. It's clear that attempts to at least secure the second spot in the Championship will be a priority. However, they managed to win in the cup, in a replay against Watford.
