#BVGoldenGoal: 5 Stats that Matter for Southampton v Liverpool FC

There are no end of storylines as Liverpool travel to Southampton for this week’s #BVGoldenGoal match.

The fixture sees the return of Virgil Van Dijk to his former club, where he spent two and a half seasons before joining the Redmen in January.

Last week’s late Super Sunday game – Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Tottenham at Anfield – was arguably one of the best matches of the Premier League season and neutrals will be hoping for more of the same.

You could make your Sunday even better by winning up to £25,000 if you correctly guess the man, the minute and the match – so here are five stats to think about when placing those predictions.

Liverpool haven’t conceded in any of their last three Premier League games against Southampton

If you are predicting Liverpool to win to nil, you’ve got recent history on your side – for more than one reason.

As well as Liverpool’s recent shutouts against the Saints (two 0-0 draws and a 3-0 win for the Reds), Mauricio Pellegrino’s men have only managed 19 goals in 14 home league games so far this term, whereas LFC are the third sharpest shooters on the road with 32 strikes in 13 away matches.

Liverpool to win 3-0 is fairly popular, with almost 12er 4{2145621b26fc9aaf9f712205cef9de9b6b89ae8741f566ab7f58c50f0e39ac2a} of predictions, while 2-2 isn’t far behind.

Zero predictions have been placed on 3-3 – are you brave enough to predict a goalfest?

Remember if you place a #BVGoldenGoal selection and your player is not in the squad, you will be entitled to another prediction between the teams being announced and kick-off.
