With the first quarter of the Premier League season still yet to draw to a close, many clubs still face a long uphill battle. And the fight is tough, with many teams kicking off the season full of vigor as they battle to settle into the top positions.
Nowhere will this battle be tougher than in Crystal Palace vs Southampton, with the two teams putting up similar performances so far. And both squads know that while not everything depends on them, they must still do their part, lest any other club can push them to the bottom in the blink of an eye.
Crystal Palace vs Southampton: Here’s What You Need to Know
Crystal Palace Must Bounce Back from a Shaky Start to Avoid Sinking to the Bottom of the Table
The competition is tough, and Crystal Palace is experiencing it firsthand. They have tried to do everything they can to stay in the mid-table positions where they are used to sitting, but they are not having much luck.
So far, they have come up against opponents who are simply outmatching them in most games, which is disrupting the Eagles‘ plans. For the seventh matchday, their game was suspended due to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, but until then, only a few draws have saved them from disaster. But it won’t work for long.
Fortunately, the club has a lot to offer with a squad that has allowed them consistency in the First Division of English soccer. But they must react in time. There are more than thirty games to go, leaving a lot of opportunities to bounce back from a bad run.
But this is also the reality of other clubs, so they must stand firm and look for the win in the Crystal Palace vs Southampton game to move away from the relegation places that are snapping at their heels.
Southampton Must Get More Out of the Opportunities They Create
Southampton has almost a decade of consecutive Premier League matches, and this is due to nothing more than their soccer. And while they aren’t one of the clubs that wins the Premier League year after year, nor reach the Champions League or Europa League at every opportunity, they are one of those that have defended a spot in the league with all their might.
We are seeing this season, the Saints are already sliding into table positions that are familiar to them by nature. They have been finishing the last few seasons midtable at #15 and #11; two places that don’t offer much but safety.
However, all the teams are fighting, and the strategy they using is barely enough to secure a spot in the future seasons. It’s too early to say, but if they don’t get their act together, they could be dragged into the relegation places for the first time in many years.
