February 9th, Southampton vs Cardiff

Hasenhuttl, will get his second shot at Cardiff and this time he will have had proper time to prepare. This match will look nothing like the first and Southampton should dominate from start to finish. Cardiff are directly above Southampton on the table by 2 points and have only scored 19 and have conceded 41.

Quite simply, if Southampton are to stay up this year they will have to take care of Cardiff at home. The Saints have the more talent and at home they will be energized to get a result in front of the home crowd.

I expect all three points to go to the Saints here in a comfortable victory

Prediction

Southampton 3-0 Cardiff

Goal Scorer: Nathan Redmond, Danny Ings, Charlie Austin
