1 draw and 3 defeats in 4 matches they run seems difficult for Gerrard to turn things around now. I personally feel they will still take advantage of the draw in this match because indeed when they appear with a midfield that is too open it is clearly not too good for them especially in this case their defensive condition is not too good.
Yes, I know it's difficult but Aston Villa have to prove it today at home with a win. There is no reason not to win today's game because I don't think Southampton is a strong opponent either. Southamton have also not performed well in their last few match, so Aston Villa should take advantage of this. I think it's safe to think at least the game ended in a draw, but Aston Villa are expected to secure the 3 points without any problems.
Southamton and Aston Villa actually don't have a strong defense, but I think Aston Villa's chances of winning this match are quite good based on probability. But let's see what will happen.
This match has been running for 20 minutes but there are no dangerous attacks both teams play slower with no effort 20 minutes there is only 1 shot. If it continues like this I predict both teams expect a draw they prefer to play it safe. While in another match Nothing Forest had scored a quick goal in the 11th minute but I'm sure Fulham will score too and my bet goes with Both teams to score.
