FootyMAD's Norwich City match preview

History of the Southampton v Norwich City fixture

Southampton prepare to entertain Norwich City at St. Marys on Saturday afternoon, looking to continue an impressive record. The Saints are clearly on top, having won 23 and lost only 5 of the 43 games.

The most recent encounter between these two sides at St. Marys was less than a year ago, in April 2005, as the Saints squeezed past their rivals by a scoreline of 4-3 in a Premiership match.

Recent respective form guides

Southampton's dreadful home form has resulted in just 1 victory and 1 draw from their last six played. While Saints have scored 8, a worringly large 15 have been leaked at the other end.

The away form of Norwich City is pretty dire, collecting just 1 solitary point from the last six. While the Canaries have hit 7 goals, 21 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Southampton's 4 points from 3 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position. Norwich City find themselves struggling down in 17th position in the league having picked up 3 points from their 3 matches.
