Match Facts
Southampton have won just two of their previous 10 league games against Preston North End (D5 L3) and have conceded 2+ goals in four of their last six matches including in the reverse fixture (2-2).
Preston North End have lost just one of their four away league games against Southampton this century (W1 D2). With that defeat coming on their last visit to St Mary’s Stadium in February 2009 (3-1), the Lilywhites will be looking to avoid successive away head-to-head losses to the Saints for the first time since November 1965.
Southampton have won three of their last four home league games played in midweek (Tues, Weds, Thurs – L1), as many as they managed across their prior 16 such matches combined.
Preston North End have failed to score in each of their last two away league games (D1 L1) and could go three league matches on the road without scoring for the first time since March 2023.
All eight of Preston’s away goals in the Championship in 2024 have come in the first half of matches; in second halves, they have had just 22 shots in their eight away league games this calendar year (2.8 per second half).
