Southampton’s poor start to the season sees them hovering just above the Premier League (PL) relegation zone (W2, D2, L5). Leaking goals has been their biggest issue so far - their average of 1.78 goals conceded per game is the third-highest in the PL. Additionally, they have conceded two or more goals in three of their previous four PL matches.
Ralph Hasenhuttl’s side has been slow starters in their league matches so far and is yet to score a goal inside the opening 15 minutes of any PL match. They do tend to wake up after the half-time break though, scoring 77.76% of their league goals in the second half.
