This year Southampton have improved quite a bit and pleased with the results and content of football, which gives good prospects for the next season. The team had a successful start in the FA Cup, where Hampshire knocked out Swansea (3:2), Coventry City (2:1) and West Ham during the meeting. At the quarter-final stage, the team faced a difficult opponent, with whom the “saints” could not resist. Manchester City beat today’s hosts with a score of 4:1. In the English championship Ralph Hasenhuttl’s wards have nine wins and 13 peaceful outcomes after 36 rounds, which brought 40 points and 15th place in the standings. The defensive line played very poorly, which conceded almost two goals per game on average. On April 16th, the Red-Whites got the last victory over Arsenal (1:0), after which the team scored only one point in the game with Brighton (2:2) in four matches. Today will not be able to play Livramento, who has a knee injury.
The Detroit Tigers were able to significantly improve the statistics of their own performances last week, breaking the Baltimore Orioles in the home series (4:2, 3:0 and 5:1). These successes have allowed A.J. Hinch’s men to reach a 0.343 win percentage, but they are still in last place in the American League. Departure to the eminent opponent will be extremely difficult for the “tigers” and Alex Faedo, who has not the best statistics in the season, will go “on the embankment” in the opening game.
