Southampton prepare to entertain Burnley at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 2 of the 21 previous games, with the Saints winning just 10.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Marys was just last season, in January 2007, when they played out a goalless draw in a Championship match.

FootyMad's prediction ...
Its not been a very profitable last few weeks for Southampton, and I'm afraid the Footymad team cannot see it getting too much better here. Look no further than honours being even at the end of this one. No-score draw
