Betting Predictions
Over 1.5 Goals
With odds at 66.00, betting on over 1.5 goals is a compelling option. Southampton’s attacking lineup is well-equipped to breach Stoke City’s defense, suggesting that multiple goals are likely. The team’s recent form indicates a propensity for high-scoring matches, making this a favorable bet.
Over 2.5 Goals
The odds for over 2.5 goals stand at 65.20, indicating a strong possibility of a high-scoring game. Both teams have shown tendencies to score in abundance during their recent fixtures. Given Southampton’s offensive capabilities and Stoke City’s occasional lapses at the back, expect a lively match with plenty of goals.
Both Teams Not to Score
With odds at 60.70, betting on both teams not to score seems less appealing given the context. While Stoke City is defensively robust, Southampton’s attacking threat is too significant to ignore. It is unlikely that neither team will find the back of the net, making this bet a riskier proposition.
