Southampton vs Sheffield Comments and Predictions: The upper door is in trouble

In theory, Southampton will have an easy match in the third round of the English League Cup when they are playing at St. Mary's home ground. Notably, the English Premier League team only faces the name from the English 2nd division, Sheffield. With the above difference in class, the ticket to go to Southampton is the prediction of the fans.

But if you look at the actual performance, things will not be easy for Southampton and do not exclude the possibility that the Saints will need more than 90 minutes of official play to win or lose.

Remember, coach Hasenhüttl's army is in a weak form, losing 6, drawing 2 and winning only 1 match with a minimum score of 1-0 against Bournemouth in the last 9 matches.

Looking across the field, Sheffield has the best preparation in terms of form when unbeaten 9 and lost exactly 1 time (with a score of 1-2) in the last 10 matches. Based on the actual performance of both, Sheffield is a reliable choice for many Asian analysts in the match against Southampton.
