Southampton will be keen to make a move up the table but face a tough matchday 13 fixture against top-six hopefuls Preston North End in the 2025-26 Championship. This match on Saturday at St Mary’s Stadium between the 20th-placed Saints and the seventh-placed Lilywhites comes with our prediction of both teams scoring goals.

With 12 points from 12 games (W2, D6, L4), the hosts are three points above the relegation zone ahead of this round. Preston’s 19 points (W5, D4, L3) see them start outside the playoff positions on goal difference.

Southampton lost 2-1 away at Blackburn last matchday to make it just one win from their last ten competitive matches (W1, D5, L4). Even in the league, they have lost back-to-back games and have just one win from their last 11 league games (W1, D6, L4).

At home too, they have drawn their last three league fixtures, two of those ending 0-0.

Preston came back from two goals down to win 3-2 at home against Sheffield United last matchday. That result helped them bounce back from consecutive defeats but was just their third win in ten competitive games (W3, D3, L4).

The challenge for Preston is to improve their away form, as they have won just one of their five away league games this season (W1, D2, L2).

Our Southampton vs Preston North End Prediction

These teams have usually missed each other, playing in different divisions in recent years. Southampton will hope they can kickstart their revival here, as they desperately look to move away from the danger zone. Preston are charging towards the playoff spots and are likely to travel with confidence as they aim to consolidate their position.

Southampton’s chances could depend on taking advantage of Preston’s record of just one away win this season. Both teams are likely to entertain, and our Southampton vs Preston North End prediction is BTTS.
