The Saints probably never imagined that they would find themselves in a relegation battle just after the midway point of the 2017/18 Premier League season. But that is where they are at right now and there is some pressure on the south coast club to turn things around. They are on a long winless streak of ten matches in the top flight now and they haven’t found goals easy to come by this season.
Extra concern has been coming in with the number of goals that they have been giving up lately, as the Saints have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four league games. They blew at 2-0 lead at Watford last weekend to only up frustrated in a share of the spoils as the Hornets fought back. Now they have another tough game on their hands as they face up to an in-form Tottenham who put five goals past the Saints just back on Boxing Day. Will the Saints suffer again?
Tottenham have slipped smoothly back into top gear with thirteen points collected from the last fifteen available to them in the top flight. Everything seems to be going right for them at the moment. Aided by Harry Kane, they have scored at least two goals in five of their last eight league matches and trounced Everton 4-0 last weekend. Spurs have won their last two road games with clean sheets as well and will certainly be kicking off as favourites at St Mary’s on Sunday evening.
Golden Goal
The BetVictor Golden Goal offer is running on the Southampton v Tottenham game and all that you have to do is predict which player will score the first goal of the game, what minute that goal will happen in and the final correct score. BetVictor last ran this on January 14th for the big Liverpool v Man City clash and there were no winning predictions of a 4-3 home win with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain opening in the scoring in the 9th minute.
Terms of the Offer
The BetVictor Golden Goal is free to play. They generally run it on a Sunday Premier League fixture (the late kick-off) but it shows up on other occasions as well. You just pick a player from the list along with the time of the first goal (the first minute, for example, is from kick off to 0:59 seconds, minute two between 1:00 and 1:59 etc) and the final result. All players at BetVictor get a free prediction but you can pick up a couple more as well.
A second prediction can be gained by placing a total of £25 worth of stakes during the same week as the free prediction in the BetVictor sportsbook. A third prediction can be earned for meeting the betting requirements of striking £50 pounds of bets in the same week as the second prediction.
