Southampton

Today’s Premium Tips: Expert Analysis and Match Previews

Southampton vs West Bromwich Albion

As Southampton and West Bromwich Albion prepare for their crucial second leg in the Championship playoff semi-final at St Mary’s, both teams are poised after a goalless draw in the first leg. This match promises to be a thrilling contest with both sides entering in good form.

Southampton come into this match buoyed by a recent victory over Leeds United and a hard-fought draw at The Hawthorns. Manager Russell Martin’s team has been solid defensively, achieving their first clean sheet since mid-April in the previous leg. Although their away form has been inconsistent, Southampton have shown better offensive prowess at home, scoring eight goals in three consecutive home wins earlier in April. The Saints will be looking to recapture that scoring touch.

West Bromwich Albion, under Carlos Corberan, have also found defensive stability recently, securing consecutive clean sheets for the first time this year. Despite this, their away form remains a concern, with their last win on the road coming in early March against Huddersfield Town. West Brom’s manager will be keen to see his side convert their opportunities more effectively, especially considering their recent struggles in front of goal. The Baggies will need standout performances from key players like Brandon Thomas-Asante to overcome the odds.

Both teams have had their share of injuries, but Southampton are hoping for the return of Che Adams to boost their attack. On the other side, West Brom might introduce Jed Wallace to add fresh energy on the right flank. With everything to play for, this clash is set to be a tactical battle, with the winner securing a coveted spot in the final.

Predicted Lineups:

  • Southampton: McCarthy; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens; Walker-Peters, Smallbone, Downes, Aribo, Manning; Adams, Armstrong
  • West Bromwich Albion: Palmer; Furlong, Bartley, Kipre, Townsend; Yokuslu, Mowatt; Wallace, Diangana, Johnston; Thomas-Asante

Fiorentina vs Napoli

Fiorentina and Napoli face off in a significant Serie A fixture, with both teams closely matched in the standings. Fiorentina, currently eighth, host ninth-placed Napoli at the Artemio Franchi Stadium. The home side is riding a wave of confidence after securing a spot in the Europa Conference League final, coupled with recent league victories.

Vincenzo Italiano’s Fiorentina have been inconsistent but are formidable at home. The team’s attacking strategy will rely heavily on Nicolas Gonzalez, who has been in excellent form, scoring three times in his last two league appearances. With Italiano set to depart at season’s end, the team will be motivated to give him a memorable send-off in this potentially final home match.

Napoli, struggling under interim manager Francesco Calzona, have failed to replicate last season’s championship-winning form. They have been defensively vulnerable, conceding in each of their last 15 Serie A matches. However, with players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Matteo Politano, Napoli remains a threat on the counter-attack. The visitors will need to tighten their defense and find a way to secure points away from home.

Predicted Lineups:

  • Fiorentina: Terracciano; Kayode, Martínez Quarta, Milenković, Biraghi; Mandragora, Melo, Castrovilli; Gonzalez, Barák, Beltrán
  • Napoli: Meret; Di Lorenzo, Rrahmani, Jesus, Olivera; Cajuste, Lobotka, Anguissa; Politano, Raspadori, Kvaratskhelia
