I do not see any serious match today as the big teams are playing people they should easily win. Southampton against Manchester United is just an encounter between two struggling teams with one having little advantage over the other. This match may be a very serious test for Erik Ten Hag who have been under fire for the woes of United this season. Southampton is a pretty soft team that have been on losing streak since being promoted to the premiership, so if United fails to win them, it may not be funny for Ten Hag as that may be seen as a red line he must not cross. Southampton, on the other hand, might want to use this match to record their first win which will be a huge motivation for them as they progress into the season.
Both teams have received a lot of negativity for the opening matches, Southampton couldn't even get a draw in the first match when they played Newcastle, and this is taking into account that Newcastle received a red card in the middle of the first half. So Martin is in the same difficult position as ten Hag, now a defeat for either team can be critical for their coach, so despite the bad start of these teams I am sure that Southampton will try with all their might to get points. And for ten Hag even a draw will be a bad result, and perhaps he is in a very difficult position.
