Southampton have been fighting for their status as Premier League regulars for the past few seasons, but in 2022/23 that genuinely looks in danger. Saints entered 2023 bottom of the league, yet to see any upturn in form after sacking Ralph Hasenhuttl and replacing him with Nathan Jones.
Two points above Southampton, but still in the relegation zone, are Nottingham Forest who have been going through a rough patch of fixtures. While things haven’t been good for Forest this season, especially given how many players they signed in the summer, a record of eight points from their past six matches is perhaps more than they would have asked for.
In their past six matches, Forest have faced Liverpool, Arsenal, Man Utd and Chelsea, beating the former and drawing with the latter. On top of those results, Steve Cooper’s side have drawn with the impressive Brentford and beaten Crystal Palace, so it isn’t all doom and gloom right now.

Southampton vs Nottingham Forest match stats
We’re sorry to Southampton and Forest fans, but this isn’t a game neutrals will be looking forward to, or one they’ll be expecting excitement from. Forest have scored just one goal away from home in the Premier League this season, while Southampton have won fewer home points than any other side in the top flight this season (six).
With a lack of action in front of goal, fans may not even get the luxury of set pieces to add a bit of jeopardy in the box. With an average of 3.24 per game, Nottingham Forest have won fewer corners than any other side in the Premier League this season, while Southampton haven’t done much better with an average of 3.76.
