If last season the team from Hampshire stopped at 15th position, then serious investments and promises to enter the fight for a place in European competitions did not bring serious changes to the standings. Southampton takes 14th place after ten rounds. The saints have only two victories and five peaceful outcomes, which brought 11 points. However, at the start of the tournament, a series of several victories can radically change the situation. Following a series of failures in the last three matches, the Red-Whites beat Leeds (1:0), drew with Burnley (2:2) and outplayed Watford (1:0) minimally. Of particular note is the line of attack, which hit the gates of the opponents only nine times. The team ended unsuccessfully in the League Cup, where after the success with Newport (8:0) and Sheffield United (3:2), Ralph Hasenhuttl’s charges could not resist in the penalty shootout with Chelsea (1:2). Today will not be able to enter the field Broy and Stevens, who has a knee injury.
In the new championship of the English Premier League, Cadiz looks very modest and is still far from the level that the team demonstrated in the last tournament. So far, it is clear that the team needs fresh blood and even rotation on the coaching bridge cannot be ruled out. Be that as it may, but after 12 rounds of the current championship, the guests have only one victory and six draws, which brought nine points and 18th place in the relegation zone. The line of attack looks modest, which was distinguished 11 times, while the team showed the second-worst result in the league in terms of conceded goals. Following the defeat in the game with Alaves (0:2), the Yellow-Blues shared the tournament points with Villarreal (3:3) and Mallorca (1:1). Garrido, Calderon and Jose Marie, who has a serious muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field today.
