Southampton vs Tottenham Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions  Goal.com

With neither side firing on all cylinders yet this season we think that a low-scoing encounter is the most likely outcome when they meet this weekend

Tottenham's second Premier League game of the season in the early kick-off on Sunday as Jose Mourinho's men travel to St Mary's to face Southampton. 

Both sides were beaten in their opening matches of the campaign with Spurs looking sluggish in their 1-0 home loss to Everton and Saints going down by the same scoreline at Crystal Palace, so there is extra onus placed on this game.

Fixture congestion threatens to hamper the north Londoners' start to the campaign, with barely 65 hours passing between their Europa League visit to Lokomotiv Plovdiv in Bulgaria and Sunday's clash on the south coast.

Despite that, Spurs are favourites with bet365 offering them at 137/100 (2.37), whilst the hosts at 2/1 (3.00) and the draw at 23/10 (3.30).

Southampton vs Tottenham Team News

New signings Gareth Bale and Sergio Reguilon were not registered in time to feature here for Spurs. Serge Aurier  and Japhet Tanganga are out but Giovani Lo Celso should be involved after returning from injury in the Europa League.

Southampton are still without Stuart Armstrong while Nathan Redmond is a major doubt, along with new signing Mohamed Salisu.

Southampton vs Tottenham Preview

Neither side has begun the season in impressive fashion and both will be aware that a defeat this weekend would see pressure increase even at this earlier stage.

Ralph Hasenhuttl's side were knocked out of the Carabao Cup in midweek by Brentford, meaning they have now failed to score in the two competitive games they have contested this term.

Last season, Saints were considerably more prolific on the road than at home with their total of 21 goals in their own stadium the fourth-lowest total in the division.

It is a similar story for Spurs who looked extremely off the pace against Everton, and they only managed to score against Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Thursday evening once the side currently sixth in the Bulgarian league had been reduced to nine men. 

Southampton vs Tottenham Tips and Predictions

Opposing a high scoring game makes plenty of sense and the price of 9/10 (1.90) for under 2.5 goals is big enough for consideration.

A goalless first half could also be a strong option at 7/4 (2.75), with the early kick-off time adding to the potential for a slow start. 

Odds correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.

Under 2.5 goals at 9/10 (1.90) for a 2pt stake with bet365
