Winning soccer predictions

Southampton hosts Swansea City in a match from the first round of the English Premier League on Saturday afternoon. Let us offer you our soccer predictions for this game.

This is a match between two teams with a similar goal in the league - survival. Everything more than this would be a bonus for them. Both teams have the potential to secure a mid-table finish at the end of the campaign, but the Premier League is too unpredictable to know this for sure.

The big news at Southampton is the new manager at board. This is the Argentine Mauricio Pellegrino. Last season he was leading Deportivo Alaves in the La Liga and he even reached the Copa del Rey final. Alaves lost the match against Barcelona, but it was still a very good season for them and Pellegrino.

Will Mauricio Pellegrino reach the heights of his countryman Mauricio Pochettino in the English league? Well, they are working in teams with totally different ambitions, but Southampton could be a good stepping stone for him in England.

As for Swansea, the las season was not easy for the Swans. They replaced a few managers during the campaign, which was a proof that not everything is going great. The good news are that Swansea managed to keep their place in the Premier League for another season and this is the most important thing. Now they will try to do it once again.

We could say that The Saints have an advantage in this match because of the home ground factor, but in reality these two teams looks very even. Which makes the game a little bit unpredictable.

For sure Southampton and Swansea won’t be playing a big role in the Premier League this season. Their main goal remains survival and they will try to reach it. Let’s see which one of them will be more happy at the end. What are your soccer predictions?
