Week 22 features a match on Sat Feb 4th, where Southampton and Brentford will play a match in London in a meeting of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 8 degrees, which will make playing unpleasant. In their last match, 8th placed Brentford, recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Leeds United. Leeds United had 10 on net, and Brentford had 6, but no one could beat the goalie, and the game ended in a 0-0 draw,. Brentford should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 17 points in their last 10 matches, while southampton sits at 20th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 2-1 win against Blackpool. Romain Perraud struck first for Southampton in the 22nd minute, then Romain Perraud added another in the 62nd minute on a feed from Sékou Mara. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having lost 7 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Southampton’s top weapon lately has been James Ward-Prowse, who has 3 goals in the last 5 matches. Ivan Toney has been the most effective weapon for Brentford lately. The English attacker has netted two goals in his last five matches
Aaron Hickey, Frank Onyeka, Shandon Baptiste, Rico Henry and Pontus Jansson are unavailable to play for Thomas Frank’s team, while Nathan Jones’s Southampton squad will be without Valentino Livramento and Juan Larios Lopez.
