Tottenham Hotspur winless in their last five matches across all competitions, will look to bounce back when they visit Premier League bottom-dwellers Southampton.
Festive spirits are low at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Ange Postecoglou’s future is under scrutiny following Spurs’ disappointing winless run since their stunning victory over Manchester City. Since that remarkable win at the Etihad, Tottenham have earned just three points from the last 15 available in both the Premier League and Europa League. Their most recent draw, 1-1 against Rangers, came after a heartbreaking 4-3 loss to Chelsea, following a previous defeat to Bournemouth.
With only one win in their last five league matches, Spurs have dropped into the bottom half of the Premier League table and are at risk of suffering 15 losses in a calendar year for the second time in a row, a fate they haven't faced since 2004. Their away form has also been poor, winning just 25% of their Premier League away games in 2024. However, they remain unbeaten in their last 13 matches against teams starting the weekend in 20th place.
Southampton, stuck at the bottom of the Premier League, have also struggled, suffering a 1-0 loss to Aston Villa last weekend. With only one win in their last five matches and a meager 5-point total, they are eight points from safety. Despite their woes, they’ve been more competitive at home, picking up four of their points at St Mary's. Southampton also boast a strong recent record against Spurs at home, having lost just once in their last six Premier League meetings with them and scoring in each of their last 15 encounters.
