Southampton vs Tottenham: Predictions, odds & betting tips

Southampton welcome an in-form Tottenham to St Mary's in the Premier League on Tuesday with Antonio Conte's men aiming to continue their strong form.

The side from north London are unbeaten in the league for two months, recording four wins and two draws under their new manager, yet will be made to work hard by a Saints side with a strong home record.

Ralph Hasenhuttel's team are unbeaten in their last five league home matches and Southampton can be backed at 12/5 (3.40) with bet365 to claim three points.

Spurs for their part are offered at 11/10 (2.10) to record their third away win of the campaign while the draw is priced at 13/5 (3.60).

Harry Kane broke the deadlock on Boxing Day as Spurs beat Crystal Palace 3-0 and the England captain is available at 3/1 (4.00) to be first goalscorer once more.

Heung-Min Son has opened the scoring more times than any Spurs player this term and the forward is priced at 11/2 (6.50) to do so once more.

Southampton's top scorer is Armando Broja with the Albanian available at 7/1 (8.00) to net first.

The change in fortunes for Spurs since the arrival of Conte has been remarkable with the side now clicking noticeably in the final third.

Conte's first game in charge was a 0-0 draw at Everton, a result which racked up a fifth blank for Tottenham in eight games.

Since that stalemate at Goodison Park, the north Londoners have scored at least twice in every game although the caveat is that they have enjoyed five consecutive home matches.

Nevertheless, against a Southampton team that have been shipping plenty of goals, the visitors on Tuesday will be confident of continuing their excellent scoring run.

The south coast outfit have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven league games, during which time they have conceded at least twice on six occasions.

Back Spurs to score over 1.5 goals at evens (2.00) is an appealing option, while both teams to score is priced at 3/4 (1.75).
