Crystal Palace, enjoying a recent positive run, aims to extend their streak of successful year-ending Premier League matches against a struggling Southampton side.
Despite Southampton’s manager expressing optimism, their away form is poor and they face a significant challenge to avoid relegation. Key players to watch include Palace’s Mateta, known for scoring opening goals, and Southampton’s Onuachu, a tall striker with a history of opening goals.

🕵️♂️ Transcript:
all right so we’re back for another deep dive another deep dive um and this one’s uh yeah going to be a fun one I think right this time uh we’re taking a look at the uh upcoming Premier League matchup right uh between Crystal Palace and Southampton on New Year’s Eve yeah um and we’ve got some uh we got some good stuff here we’ve got some pre-match analysis um and some statistics to really dig into okay uh and you know what the numbers are telling pretty interesting story yeah so the big question is yeah what is it will Crystal Palace uh keep their New Year’s Eve win streak alive okay or could Southampton pull off an upset and you know kind of climb their way out of that relegation Zone yeah I mean that’s the big question right I mean it’s a fascinating matchup for sure you got Crystal Palace you know they’re riding High undefeated in their last seven League games and haven’t lost a year ending match since 2018 really that’s a streak most teams dream of yeah but they do have a bit of a home field puzzle to solve right four games without a win at home it’s uh it’s a little bit of a head scratcher yeah especially when you consider you know their overall form right but uh but looking deeper into it those four losses uh they came against teams that are all currently sitting in the top half of the table yeah that’s a tough run for any team exactly I think that that adds another layer of context absolutely um and then you got Southampton currently bottom of the table nine points of drift to safety yeah new manager Ivon UR lost his first game in charge oo tough start tough start yeah they haven’t won an away game in the Premier League since February 2023 so on paper it seems like Crystal Palace has a pretty clear Advantage right but things aren’t always so straightforward in football yeah especially when you look at their head-to-head record yeah what’s their history like well Southampton has found ways to score at sellur Park pretty consistently really yeah I mean over their last seven visits to Crystal Palace wow South has scored in five of those matches and on top of that they’ve won four drawn one and lost only two wow so despite their struggles they’ve actually performed pretty well against Palace exactly and that’s what makes this matchup so interesting it does you’ve got Southampton struggling overall but they’ve had some success against Palace so how do we make sense of that well sometimes I think you know some players just have certain teams numbers yeah that’s true um maybe that’s the case here maybe speaking of players though uh Le let’s talk about those individual narratives a little bit okay yeah let’s get into it we’ve got to start with John Philip Mata for Crystal Palace MH I mean the guy is on fire yeah he’s been scoring goals for fun it’s unbelievable yeah you know you have to wonder is it just luck right is he just on a hot streak or is there something more to it yeah what do you think well I I don’t think it’s just luck I mean if you look at his recent performances he’s been making these intelligent runs in behind defenses M he’s finding space he’s finishing his chances clinically I think he’s confident and that’s a dangerous thing for any opponent oh absolutely now the big challenge for him is going to be you know how he handles southampton’s center backs they’re very physical right can he use his movement to find those pockets of space against them that I think is going to be one of the key things to watch in this match for sure and then for Southampton you can’t Overlook Paul and wantu oh man this guy’s a giant upfront he’s a force and when he gets going he is hard to stop that’s right that’s right Anu watchu is just dominant in the air a real handful for Defenders um and it’s interesting to note in his last four games where he found the back of the net he scored the opening goal each time wow talk about a knack for setting the tone yeah he really sets the tone so we got two players here who love to kick things off with a bang I love it adds even more excitement to this match up for sure for sure but here’s a stat that I think throws another twist into things hit me Southampton hasn’t won any of their last four year-ending Premier League games okay and all four of those losses came against London teams really so that’s interesting it’s just this quirky stat that adds another layer of drama to this New Year’s Eve Clash it does right yeah so how do we put this all together right so we’ve got Crystal Palace in form good home record against Southampton but Southampton despite their struggles yeah they’ve shown that they can really be a thorn in palace’s side that’s right and what’s fascinating to me is how those individual battles are going to unfold yeah will mateta be able to keep that scoring streak going against southampton’s defense right will anatu be able to you know use his size and his physicality to overpower that Palace backline yeah yeah I really think that these individual matchups could decide the game what are your thoughts yeah you know I completely agree with you those individual ATT like you said those moments of Brilliance those errors those are the things that can really swing a game yeah it’s not just about team form you know it’s about who seizes those cral moments and I think that’s what makes this match so compelling yeah you got two teams with very different trajectories but their history suggests going to be a tight one exactly and you know that brings us to you the listener yeah it’s easy for us to you know get caught up in the team narrative in the stats sure but how much weight would you give to southampton’s head-to-head record when you’re making your prediction is it enough to overcome their overall struggles this season right or will Crystal Palace just maintain their dominance and keep those New Year’s Eve celebrations going tough questions it’s a tough one to call it is but we want to hear from you let us know what you think will happen yeah let us know all right that’s going to do it for this deep dive another good one we’ll see you next time see you e e e
