Burnley desperately need points on Wednesday, Dec 9 at 9:00 PM in the Championship. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

Southampton come into this fixture in mixed form (2W 2D 1L). Burnley travel out of form (0W 2L recently), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

In 10 previous meetings, Southampton lead 2–4 with 4 draws. Their last encounter ended in Burnley won 1–0. 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 Burnley are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
