Southampton welcomes West Brom this weekend with hopes of picking their form in the Premier League. The match schedules for Sunday evening at St. Mary’s Stadium with kickoff at 2 pm.
Southampton got their first three points of the season last weekend after a narrow win over Burnley. The Baggies travel to the St. Mary’s Stadium as one of the only four league clubs without a win.
The buildup to the new season was something Ralph Hassenhult did not expect. Three back to back defeats was a significant worry for the manager. However, the side managed to secure their first win after narrowly escaping a draw at Burnley.
The Saints need to improve their end product on the final third while netting only three-time in four matches across all competitions. The only shining beam for the Saints is Danny Ings, with two goals from their last two outings.
After his side, Slaven Bilic was impressive to score three goals in less than 27 minutes last weekend against Chelsea. It was unfortunate the side could hold on to the lead ending in a six-goal thriller.
Slaven Bilic will have to question the contender’s worthiness of his side to make it in the Premier League. It is mostly given their next four games in the league. Most people can consider their next games against rivals.
