Three defeats and a draw in the last 4 days for a Tottenham team that no longer has anything to ask of this Premier League season. In the midweek round of matches, Spurs lost their second consecutive derby: before the break it was Fulham who gave Ange Postecoglou’s men yet another disappointment, but last Thursday it was Chelsea’s turn to make the North London club cry, punishing them with a goal from Enzo Fernandez (1-0). With 8 games still to play in the league, Tottenham find themselves in fourteenth place in the standings, 14 points from the last slot that would allow them to participate in next year’s European competitions.
Postecoglou, again furious with the VAR at the end of the Stamford Bridge game for disallowing a goal to Spurs midfielder Sarr, therefore has only one way to “save” a season that would otherwise be forgettable: win the Europa League. Next week Tottenham will play the first leg of the quarter finals against Eintracht Frankfurt, a crucial match for the Londoners.
It will be important to arrive there with high morale: no mistakes are allowed, therefore, in the league challenge with Ivan Juric’s Southampton, who in the last round had a jolt of pride by interrupting their long streak of defeats with a 1-1 draw with Crystal Palace. A point that obviously changes very little in terms of the league table: the Saints, last with 10 points, are only awaiting the mathematical verdict, having already resigned themselves to relegation to the Championship. A mathematical certainty that could arrive this weekend in the event of a defeat to Spurs and a simultaneous victory for Wolverhampton against Ipswich Town.

The prediction
Postecoglou could rest several players in this match, including captain Son, giving priority to the Europa League match against Eintracht. In any case, a win should come against a Southampton side that is almost relegated. The “Goals” odds are tempting: the Saints have in fact always scored in their last three games and could do so again against Tottenham’s far from impregnable defense.
