REVIEW Southampton vs Stoke City
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Stoke City squeezed past Southampton 2-1 away from home. It stood 0-0 at the interval — everything that mattered happened after the restart.

Our model won't enjoy this one — Southampton at 57% was the clear read, and the result ignored it. Over a season these leads pay; on a single Tuesday, anything can happen. We had also flagged over 2.5 goals (55%), both teams to score (55%), and both reads landed as well.

By the numbers, Southampton had 65% of the ball to Stoke City's 35%, shots finished 18-12, expected goals 2.59 to 1.50 — by the quality of chances, Southampton deserved more.

Coming into the game, across their last 6 meetings in our records, honours were even at 2 apiece, 2 drawn. Those games averaged 0.83 goals for Southampton and 0.83 for Stoke City.
