Stoke vs Southampton Prediction and Football Tips
Premier League football tips – Stoke vs Southampton prediction.
Stoke City have come under some really difficult times recently and are without a win in four, having lost three of those and drawn once. Mark Hughes’ side are definitely safe because of their strong first half of the current campaign, but will be hoping to end this bad spell of form with a home win.
Southampton on the other hand picked up a rather underwhelming 2-0 victory at home to Hull, but a win is still a win and that’s all the fans and players will care about at the minute.
Probable line-ups
Stoke City (4-2-3-1)– Begovic; Cameron, Shawcross, Wollscheid, Pieters; Whelan, N’Zonzi; Diouf, Adam, Arnautovic; Walters
Southampton (4-2-3-1)– Davis; Clyne, Alderweireld, Fonte, Bertrand; Davis, Schneiderlin; Long, Tadic, Mane; Pelle

Graziano Pelle has finally scored in 2015 for Southampton and everyone connected with the club will be hoping to see more goals from their star striker, so he will play a massive part in this game against the physical Stoke City.
Stoke are in a really bad run of form, but despite this it’s hard to call a Southampton victory.
