Tottenham to Win
Tottenham have won four of their last seven encounters with Southampton, including a 5-2 victory in the pair's reverse league fixture back in September. Both of these teams have been struggling for wins of late but with the home advantage and having 2-days extra to prepare for this game, Spurs are expected to win.
BTTS
Both teams have scored in six of the last seven meetings between Tottenham and Southampton and we're expecting another goals-filled game on Wednesday. Four of Spur's last six outings have ended with both teams finding the back of the net, while three of Southampton's last four league games have also seen both teams score.
Over 2.5 Goals
Five of the last seven head-to-heads between these two clubs have produced over 2.5 goals, with 7-goals being scored when the two sides last met. At least three goals have also been scored in five of Tottenham's and five of Southampton's last six outings in all competitions.

Two teams looking to get back to winning ways lock horns on Wednesday
Tottenham were held to a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park last time out, throwing away the lead and having to rescue a share of the spoils in the end. With just one win in their last six matches across all competitions, Tottenham look like they could struggle to finish in the top four this season and really need a win on Wednesday to get themselves back on track. Clean sheets have been at a premium for Spurs of late and Southampton will provide another stern test for their backline on Wednesday night. The hosts will be without Davies once again and both Doherty and Kane will be assessed nearer to kick-off to see if they are fit to participate.
Southampton lost to Leicester in the FA Cup semi-final on Sunday and along with that result went another season without silverware. The Saints can now put their full concentration back on securing their Premier League status, which they are too far away from doing with 36pts on the board and seven games still to play. However, their form in the second have of the season has mostly been poor, culminating in a 3-0 defeat at West Brom in their last Premier League outing. Obafemi, Romeu and Smallbone will continue to miss out this week through injury.
