Recent respective form guides
Southampton's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. Saints have conceded a disappointing 7 goals in this period, and managed to convert only 3 of their own chances.
Tranmere Rvs.'s away form is none too clever either, with two wins, two draws, and two defeats. The Rovers's have scored 6 goals in these games, but conceded an alarming 8.
Southampton see themselves just below half way in the Npower League One, showing a record of 12 points from their 10 games played so far, Tranmere Rvs. are stuck down in the relegation zone of Npower League One with a return of just 10 points from their 10 games thus far.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its been a distinctly poor show from Southampton at home in recent games, and, though I cannot see a run starting here, I do think the Saints will at least gain a draw. No-score draw

| Southampton | Unbeaten run of 4 matches. |
