Southampton host Blackburn Rovers at St. Mary's Stadium, Southampton, Hampshire on Saturday, Dec 19 at 4:00 PM in the Championship.
Southampton come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Blackburn Rovers travel out of form (1W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.
Head-to-head records offer little separation — Southampton and Blackburn Rovers have split their 10 meetings almost evenly (4W–3D–3W). Their last encounter ended in Southampton won 3–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.6 per game in recent meetings.
Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Southampton a slight edge, but Blackburn Rovers are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
