SOU vs BRE Fantasy Football Team & Tips

Captain Options

B. Mbeumo scored a late penalty against Watford last week, and already has three goals to his name this season. In the absence of Ivan Toney, he will be Brentford’s target man.

Armando Broja has four league goals to his name this season, and is expected to lead the attacking lines for Southampton once again. The visitors have been a bit shaky at the back, something which Broja could exploit.

Differential Pick

Shane Long is our differential pick for this encounter. The striker is expected to earn a spot in the playing 11 against Brentford. Long is a pretty experienced campaigner and could bag a goal or two on Saturday.

GK: Caballero
DEF: C. Goode, P. Jansson, K. Walker Peters
MID: S. Canos, J- Ward Prowse, N. Redmond, C. Norgaard
FOR: B. Mbeumo, S. Long, A. Broja

Who will win today’s football match?

• The match is evenly poised, as both teams will look to claim all three points in the mid-table battle.
• Southampton are the slight favorites after their encouraging draw against Crystal Palace, and their home advantage.
• We pick a draw as our result for this fixture.

Match Odds: 

Brentford: 45/17
Southampton: 15/13
