Southampton has 3 consecutive league losses, but Man United has two, and they're playing in Southampton. So looking only at the current season stats, it's not clear if it will be an easy one for Man United.
I expect Southampton will focus on defence, knowing how desperate Man Utd will be for a win, and then will be looking for quick counter attacks and I wouldn't be much surprised if they manage to get 3 points.
Ten Hag's team demonstrated last season that their attacking power is very poor for a club aspiring to be at the top. This season is even worse with only two goals scored in 3 games. Luckily Southampton is even worse, with 1 goal scored, so maybe a goalless draw would be a good bet?
In the fourth week of the EPL league, this is one of the interesting matches for us to look forward to, how could it not be because the Southampton vs Man United match is a match that could affect Ten Hag's career with Man United after they experienced consecutive defeats that made Erik Ten Hag in the shadow of dismissal if he failed to get 3 points in this match.
The two consecutive defeats are very difficult for many fans to accept, especially since Ten Hag is supported by a number of top recruits this summer. If Man United can't win this match, I wouldn't be surprised if Ten Hag was immediately fired.
However, what is certain is that this match puts Ten Hag under great pressure, especially since in the last three matches they have played poorly and there are no signs that Ten Hag will improve the team because the decision to select players and when replacing players always makes mistakes. To be honest, even though statistically Man United is superior in this match, I don't dare bet on Man United to win. I predict this match will end in a draw or even Man United will lose.
