With a betting odds of 64.10, the prediction for over 1.5 goals suggests that this match could see a few goals scored. Both teams have demonstrated the capability to score during matches this season. Southampton’s attacking prowess, combined with Stoke City’s occasional lapses in defense, makes this a likely outcome.

This prediction hinges on both teams’ attacking players finding form and exploiting each other’s defensive vulnerabilities. Given the attacking talent available to both sides, it wouldn’t be surprising to see at least three goals in this game.
Both Teams Not to Score
With odds set at 63.10, the likelihood of both teams not scoring is considered relatively low in this matchup.
