  • Southampton's attacking output (1.83 goals per game) faces a Bolton side that has conceded 2.17 per game. Home advantage amplifies this edge — the hosts look well placed to dictate the tempo and find the net.

Southampton host Bolton in fine home form, having won all of their last five at St Mary's, scoring 16 and conceding just four. Cyle Larin leads their scoring with four goals across the last six games. Bolton arrive with three wins from six, but their away record of two wins, one draw and two defeats has seen 11 goals conceded in five. Expect goals at both ends, though Southampton should edge it. Predicted score: Southampton 2-1 Bolton.
