Southampton create chances worth 1.8 a game (and give up chances worth 1.2), leaving them +0.5 a game on the balance. Millwall create 1.3 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of -0.1. The underlying numbers clearly favour Southampton. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Southampton average 1.8 goals per game and Millwall manage 1.3. Combined that's just 3.0. We make it only 8% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game. Both teams scoring is unlikely here (29%). Interestingly, the chances suggest more goals than the headline number. Southampton and Millwall together create chances worth 3.1 a game. The low figure might be underrating the attacking quality here.
Both teams score in 52% of Southampton's home games and 61% of Millwall's away matches. both teams finding the net isn't guaranteed.
Millwall prefer to keep things tight (0.7 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Southampton against this setup.
