The Saints have good potential, but in recent years the team has not been able to realize it. The team began to improve after Ralf Hasenh?ttl appeared on the coaching bridge. Already at the start of the current championship Southampton indicated that they are not going to defend their right to stay in the Premier League, but intend to solve more serious problems here. Before the upcoming match Soton is in fifth place in the standings. The Saints have 17 points and they are only three points behind the leading Tottenham. Southampton had an excellent stretch of three victories in a row over Everton (2:0), Aston Villa (4:3) and Newcastle (2:0), but it was stopped in the last round by Wolverhampton (1:1). In general, the unbeaten run of Ralf Hasenh?ttl’s wards has already seven matches in a row. Although it is still worth noting that during this period there was not a single top team. The only team from the tops was Tottenham this season, to which the Saints lost at home (2:5) at the start of the championship. Although, it should be noted that the game at home compared to the previous seasons at Southampton has improved a little. After losing the match with Spurs, they beat West Bromwich, Everton and Newcastle with the same score 2:0. Soton’s top scorer Danny Ings, who has already scored five goals in the current championship, was out for a week. Besides him Nathan Redmond and Mohammed Salisu are in the infirmary.
Truth be told, Colombo Kings can count themselves a tad lucky to have escaped with the two points on the last matchday. Failing to show any sort of dominance in the game, it could have gone either way but CLK just about edged the stubborn opposition. However, in this game of cricket, how often do one get this lucky? As they are still miles away from being at the top, Colombo Kings cannot afford to rest on the laurels from the previous match. They must put in extra effort in training to improve performance levels. Having made so many mistakes last time out, CLK needs to be more cautious this time around. Massive work needs to be done on the batting front. Batsman Isuru Udana hasnt shown any real conviction about his batting abilities, and is pretty much like a Swiss Army Knife.
