Southampton 1-1 Ipswich Town

Current streaks

Recent form

Southampton

Southampton's recent form paints a concerning picture for the club, as they currently sit in 19th position with no points from their first four Premier League matches. The team is experiencing a challenging run, with four losses in their last six games across all competitions. Their sole victory came in a high-scoring League Cup match against Cardiff City, which ended 5-3 in Southampton's favor. Defensively, the team has struggled, conceding an average of 2 goals per game and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last six matches. While their goal-scoring ability in cup competitions has been notable, with 6 goals in 2 games, they've struggled to find the net in the Premier League, scoring just once in their last four league matches. The team's recent 3-0 loss to Manchester United extends their losing streak in the league to four games, highlighting the urgent need for improvement in their Premier League campaign.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with the team currently sitting in 17th position in the Premier League. Their last six games have seen them secure one win, three draws, and two losses, indicating a struggle to find consistent form. Notably, they've managed to keep two clean sheets during this period, which is a positive sign defensively. However, their goal-scoring has been a concern, averaging less than a goal per game (0.83). The team's defensive record has been somewhat shaky, conceding an average of 1.5 goals per game. A particularly high-scoring game was their 4-1 loss to Manchester City, which significantly impacted their goal difference. Interestingly, 67% of their recent matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a trend towards lower-scoring encounters.

Recent home/away form

Southampton

Southampton's recent home form presents a concerning trend for the team. After a strong finish to their previous season with two consecutive wins, including a 3-1 victory over West Brom in the Championship, the Saints have struggled to maintain that momentum. Their last four home games have resulted in two draws and two losses, with the team failing to score in their two most recent Premier League matches. Notably, Southampton has been unable to secure a win in their last four home games, a worrying statistic for fans. The team's goal-scoring has dried up recently, with no goals in their last two competitive home fixtures, despite averaging 1.17 goals per game over their last six matches. The 3-0 defeat to Manchester United stands out as a particularly difficult result, highlighting the challenges Southampton faces as they adjust to life back in the Premier League.

Ipswich Town

Ipswich Town's recent away form shows a mix of resilience and vulnerability. Despite their 17th position in the league, they've managed to avoid defeat in four of their last six away games, including a noteworthy 1-0 win against 1899 Hoffenheim in a friendly and a 2-1 victory over Coventry City in the Championship. Their defensive record is improving, with two clean sheets in their last six away matches, including a goalless draw against Premier League side Brighton. However, they've also been involved in some high-scoring encounters, particularly the 3-3 draw with Hull City and the 4-1 defeat to Manchester City, contributing to their average of 3.17 total goals per game. The team's ability to score (1.5 goals per game) is offset by their tendency to concede (1.67 goals per game), resulting in both teams scoring in 67% of these matches and over 2.5 goals occurring in the same percentage of games.
