As of early Tuesday, Preston sits 12th in the league with 60 points. They have scored 54 goals but conceded 59 this season. Their recent form against Southampton has been strong, winning the reverse fixture 2-0 in November 2025.

Southampton currently occupies the 5th position with 77 points in the play-off places. They have scored an impressive 79 goals this season and are unbeaten in their last four league matches.

Historically, Preston could complete their fourth-ever league double over Southampton. They previously achieved this in the seasons of 1933-34, 1963-64, and 2007-08.

However, Southampton has only won one of their last 11 league visits to Preston. This trend adds pressure on them to perform well at Deepdale.

Preston’s recent record shows they have only won their final league game in three of the last 14 seasons. In contrast, Southampton has secured victory in seven of their last eight final league games outside of the Premier League.

Key players for Preston include Benjamin Whiteman and Callum Lang, while Adam Armstrong and Flynn Downes are vital for Southampton’s attack. Both teams will need to manage any football injuries effectively.

This match is not just about points; it significantly impacts league standings and potential play-off placements. A win for Southampton would elevate them to 80 points.

The stakes are high as both teams enter this critical matchup with everything to play for. Fans can expect an intense battle on the pitch.
