Even though Southampton had their focus on the FA Cup, their main goal this season is undoubtedly securing promotion back to the Premier League.
Russell Martin’s team has been on an excellent unbeaten run, moving into second place in the Championship table, 11 points behind leaders Leicester City.
Despite the significant deficit, a remarkable statistic has come to light that could give them hope of catching up. The Saints have been in ruthless form at home, scoring 22 times and conceding just once in their last six matches at St Mary’s.
With an average of 3.5 goals per game at home, it will be difficult for any team to beat them. And with only one goal conceded during this period, it won’t be easy for opponents to get past them either.
Their home form and the form table show that they are outperforming Leicester, who are currently comfortable at the top of the overall table but experiencing some blips in their form.
If Southampton can maintain this excellent home form, they may be able to close the gap on the league leaders and potentially even move ahead in the race for the title.
While the priority is securing promotion, recent form suggests that going up as champions may not be entirely out of the question.
